We are extremely happy with this nursery! Our daughter has been attending for nearly two years, and she absolutely loves it, especially the wonderful teachers. It’s clear how much she enjoys being there, as she often asks to go in even when we pass by on weekends! We’ve seen so much development in her during her time at the nursery, both socially and academically. The staff are caring, dedicated, and truly create a nurturing and engaging environment. We couldn’t be more grateful!

Our son has been going to Kïdo for the past 4 months and loves going there, the engagement with other children and staff has really helped his development and learnings. The team are brilliant and give a really helpful summary at the end of each day of how he has been and what he has been doing. The monthly updates on progress allow us to help at home as well and focus on development milestones. Would highly recommend Kido as a great nursery.

My son attended Kido for nearly two years and I can say he had a lovely time there. He made good friends and loved the staff members. The nursery arranged some memorable trips during this time such as the zoo and the wetlands centre. His time at Kido has been very positive for his development in certain areas such as potty training, feeding and speaking. Thank you to all the staff at Kido and the management too

My son absolutely loves going to Kido International, and a huge part of that is thanks to Miss Shaddiya! From the very beginning, she’s shown such warmth, patience, and genuine care for the children. My son talks about her all the time at home — it’s clear she makes him feel safe, seen, and excited to learn. Shaddiya has a special gift for connecting with little ones, and her positivity shines through in everything she does. She keeps us well-informed, always greets us with a smile, and you can tell she truly loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have her as part of our son’s early learning journey. Thank you, Shaddiya, for being such an incredible educator and role model!
