My little boy Lucas started with Kiddy Academy in February age 2. I was worried about him settling in due to him starting nursery being more delayed than my older son, however he settled in really easily. The staff are lovely and great with the children. Lucas loves going to nursery and playing with his friends taking part in the endless amounts of activities they have planned each week. Since starting Lucas has learnt lots and is talking and using his words much more too! Thank you to everyone at Kiddy Academy for making Lucas’ settling in and continued nursery experience so positive! xx
