Kiddies Kottage has been amazing for my daughter. She was always so well cared for, and the practitioners are truly wonderful with children. At first, I was a little worried about the space being small, but it never made any difference; they take the children on regular trips to playgrounds, soft plays and libraries, and the care they provide is just incredible. They encourage independence, value the children’s feelings, and treat every child with such kindness. I honestly couldn’t recommend them more! You can trust that your most precious little one will be in safe and loving hands here. The only reason we left was because my commute changed and I needed to be closer to an underground station. Thank you Kiddies Kottage and ALL the incredible staff.

We had two children attend the nursery from toddler until they were ready for school and we are so pleased we chose Kiddies Kottage. The variety of activities planned for the children, delicious weekly menu, caring and committed staff and a dedicated owner makes the nursery what it is. I have and will continue to recommend it to anyone who is looking for a loving and supportive environment for their child. Kiddies Kottage prepared them wonderfully for school and contributed immensely to how quickly they settled into school.

A great nursery, with a family feel. The staff are incredible and really supportive and our children loved it here. If you're in the area its definitely worth checking it out. The support provided here was instrumental in our children's development and preparing them for the next step in their development, as they moved on to school

We love this nursery. Both our girls have gone here from an early age and have excelled in the loving and caring environment as well as learning so much. The staff go out of their way to accommodate the children and are excellent at bringing the parents along on the journey. I don't know of any nursery locally who makes the effort to do such wonderful trips, including the Horniman Museum, Natural History Museum and also making the most of the local area with visits to the nature reserve, parks and the train stations. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Kiddies Kottage came highly recommended by a good friend at a time when I was looking to change my son's nursery. My very first encounter with staff and management was very pleasant so I decided to enroll my son. My son has now moved on to school as he's in reception but during his time there I never had any complaints. The staff are very professional, relatable and caring. My son always looked forward to going in and He misses is very much. He learnt so much and developed really well, so much so that his current teacher is very impressed with how much He knows. I really thank all the staff for their amazing service and I recommend the establishment to anyone looking for a nursery plsce for their child. I would give 100 stars if possible. Thank you too you all
