Being first time parents we looked at several different nurseries for our daughter. Kiddie Capers, Cuckfield had a different atmosphere and just felt right for us. The staff are so friendly, supportive and helpful. Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, always smiling when she sees the workers in the morning and happy to go in. The staff have supported us through our weaning process and encouraged our daughter to try new foods. The feedback each day is lovely. We love seeing photos of her day and the personal feedback at pick up means we always know what the day has been like both in terms of activities, as well as sleep and food. The opportunity to have term time only nursery was asli a draw for us and the flexibility and ease of using the app for requesting days off is great. We couldn't ask for a more friendly and supportive setting for our daughter to go to and we are so glad we chose Kiddie Capers.
Read on GoogleAs first-time parents, choosing childcare was one of the hardest and most emotional decisions we’ve ever had to make. I felt anxious about how our baby would cope being away from us. But from the very first visit to Kiddie Capers in Cuckfield, we knew we’d found somewhere truly special. The team are absolutely wonderful; so kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They took the time to get to know us as a family, making the settling-in process calm, reassuring, and completely centred around our little one’s needs. Their warmth and understanding have meant more than we can ever express. Now, our baby lights up when we arrive. He’s so happy and content there, and it’s amazing to see how much he’s growing in confidence and curiosity each week. The activities, the care, and the love they show every single day are just incredible. Kiddie Capers has given us peace of mind we never thought we’d have; knowing our baby is happy, safe, and so well cared for. We’ll always be grateful to the whole team for making this experience so positive for all three of us. 💛
Read on GoogleBoth my children have been going to Kiddie Caper’s Cuckfield since they were 9 & 6 months, and we absolutely love it! The setting itself is in a great location, it’s not over crowded or overwhelming. The children have access to fields, woods & the outdoors all the time, which they adore!!! The team are outstanding and have always gone over & above our boys needs, and ours as parents. The Manager Toni is personable, innovative, supportive, engaging and our boys adore her (& us too). I couldn’t recommend KCC Cuckfield enough 🌟
