Couldn’t be happier with this nursery, my little one started in July at 9 months old and she’s settled in really well, everyone is genuinely so kind and caring. Love the updates on the app, the creative activities they set up for the children, the wide range of healthy foods they are given which are cooked on site. Thank you Charlotte for being so welcoming and helpful and answering all my questions, and another shout out to Molly who is the best key person we could have asked for, my little one loves her and reaches her arms out to her at drop off. Thank you!! 🥰

Kids Inc Broomfield is a fantastic nursery, it is led by a knowledgeable and caring management team whose primary focus is ensuring the children are cared for in a safe and nurturing environment. Charlotte the nursery manager has made lots of welcomed improvements since taking post and feedback is always welcomed. The nursery staff are excellent, they ensure our son’s needs are met and support with play and learning. Our son has absolutely thrived since attending Kids Inc in the last 18 months. His confidence has grown tremendously and it is apparent that the nursery routine has supported his development. The nursery environment is clean and welcoming, each room is well equipped and the open planned garden is great for the children. The nursery chef ensures the dietary needs of the children is met and a well balanced menu is provided, our son has gone through bouts of fussiness with food at home however he thoroughly enjoys the meals at nursery as he is known to eat everything and sometimes more! The nursery uses an app to communicate with parents, this includes daily updates on the children and other regular communications updating on events, issues or advice. Our daughter will also attend this nursery when the time is right and we know that she will be looked after by a great team. Keep up the great work Charlotte and team 👍🏼

I would strongly recommend Kids Inc Broomfield to any parents looking for a nursery. I was so nervous about my son going to school and I didn't want him to go anywhere super regimented because I think its important to let them be children for as long as possible, but I also wanted an environment he could learn in and get ready for school. Above all I wanted to feel safe leaving him there. Kids Inc have ticked all of these boxes. He has never had any issues there, he loves it and has come such a long way since going. I have never once doubted that he is well cared for while in their care. The team are really friendly, keep you well informed and put a lot of effort in to teaching the children and celebrating various holidays/events. The food is varied and my son eats loads when there and has started eatening healthier at home thanks to the food he has at nursery. It is everything I wanted in a nursery with the perfect balance of a safe and warm environment while prepping for school.

Broomfield Kids Inc Day Nursery is a great nursery and we are very pleased that our son goes there. The setting is run by a very experienced, knowledgable, caring Manager, for whom children’s safety, well-being and development is her main focus. On top of that, Charlotte is a lovely person and always a pleasure to deal with. That obviously has a great impact on others as all staff there are amazing - I can’t praise them enough. My son loves going there, he is well looked after, he eats everything there (far fussier at home!) and has a variety of activities to boost his development. I should also mention that the food looks great and is surely made with love. I would definitely recommend this setting as it’s not just a nursery for our son, it’s his second home.
