There is so much for him to do in the garden. Their approach is truly child led. There is structure around certain things like meals etc and rules around safety of course, but they mostly observe what the child is interested in and adapt their teaching to suit.

Fair enough, he is just one of many children's parents who paid £50 for an excursion (there's no choice on a Wednesday).\n\nJust a number, and that number must have been massive because the place was packed to rafters with children (the Loughton children were here too). The noise was unbelievably loud, as the acoustics are awful in the main building. I had informed them of his ear trouble, but if they forgot his age, they probably also forgot that loud=distress for him. Just a number.\n\nThe next day, he didn't want to go back. We had already paid, and didn't have time to make alternative arrangements. When I picked him up, he was out like a shot, clambering to leave. The staff were very nice to him on this day, but it wasn't enough to stop him begging and pleading not to go back.\n\nThe parents of his little friend also attending the centre, let me know that their child was also begging not to return, and that they were making alternative arrangements. We ended up sending the boys to a place with way less bells and whistles, and they loved it. When asked why, he said that they cared about them, and got a cuddle (when he grazed his knee).\n\nSimple really.\n\nI gave Kids Play Childcare one star because I had to give a star.

Since I'd only sent him there with one jacket, we ended up standing in the rain while we waited for our taxi, as I tried to keep his bare arms and legs warm. I let management know and they apologised, saying he is big for his age, and they thought he could take care of himself. Fair enough, he is just one of many children's parents who paid £50 for an excursion (there's no choice on a Wednesday). Just a number, and that number must have been massive because the place was packed to rafters with children (the Loughton children were here too). The noise was unbelievably loud, as the acoustics are awful in the main building. I had informed them of his ear trouble, but if they forgot his age, they probably also forgot that loud=distress for him. Just a number. The next day, he didn't want to go back. We had already paid, and didn't have time to make alternative arrangements. When I picked him up, he was out like a shot, clambering to leave. The staff were very nice to him on this day, but it wasn't enough to stop him begging and pleading not to go back. The parents of his little friend also attending the centre, let me know that their child was also begging not to return, and that they were making alternative arrangements. We ended up sending the boys to a place with way less bells and whistles, and they loved it. When asked why, he said that they cared about them, and got a cuddle (when he grazed his knee). Simple really. I gave Kids Play Childcare one star because I had to give a star. It is for the two very nice ladies who had limited contact with my child, who smiled actual genuine smiles. The designer "natural" wood blocks, so neatly stacked in display, get no stars. Special mention goes to Knowlhill Childcare Hub under 7's for teaching my child to negotiate so well, that I had to take time off work.
