Sharing this as a parent. In June, after a day at Kido, my little girl came home with clusters of very itchy bites. Our pediatrician said they were consistent with bed bug bites. Because it started right after nursery, I was really worried that might have been where she was exposed. I reported it to the nursery hoping for reassurance. Instead, I was told they weren’t responsible, and there was no meaningful follow-up! As a parent, that felt dismissive and left me anxious, upset, and unsure what to do next. If you’re considering this nursery, I’d encourage you to ask detailed questions about pest-prevention measures, cleaning routines, and how they handle health concerns when they’re raised. This is just my personal experience, but I wish I’d known to ask.

Lovely new nursery, my daughter attends here and is really enjoying it! We live locally and it's been great to meet other families who live in the area too. The staff are very friendly and professional, and the facilities are amazing, indoor and out. Our daughter has several food allergies diagnosed, and the staff go out of their way to accommodate these, and we feel confident that she's getting fed well despite the restrictions. As a bonus there's also a nice playground in the park next door, which we can visit on the way home in the summer.

My little girl has been attending Kido Bethnal Green since she was 10 months old, and she absolutely loves it. She settled in quickly and has formed lovely friendships with the other children. I feel completely at ease leaving her there, knowing she is well cared for. She adores her teachers and happily goes in with a smile every morning. It’s a fantastic nursery with a great balance of structured learning and play, and I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing environment for their child.

I cannot be more happy and grateful of the care my little one receives on the nursery. I got there by a word of mouth and I am very happy with how my child is being cared and how Kido helps and encourages her development. My daughter does so many activities and learnt so much thanks to the nursery staff and being socially exposed to other kids. She is always happy to attend the nursery, and she recognizes carers and other children that assist to her classroom. Thanks to the staff that makes Kido a fabulous nursery.
