My 3 year old son has been attending since he was 12 months old and my daughter is due to start in the next few months. We love how each room has its own dedicated outdoor space and how the children play and explore outside every day regardless of the weather. The menu changes every week and is varied and nutritious - my son is a much more adventurous eater at nursery than he is at home! The staff have all been excellent - they are so caring and communicative, my son adores them. We have been so impressed with the range of different activities on offer to him each day and his development is thriving as a result. The nursery was recommended to us by friends and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.",

The whole process was absolutely amazing, Jodie and Debbie came to my house to meet with my son and to get to know us as parents too. They showed a genuine interest in our little boy and asked all the right questions to make sure they could help him settle into nursery and feel happy there. Following that he did various settling sessions in the nursery and I was kept completely up to date with photos via the app. All of the staff at Kids Start have a positive attitude and make the children feel excited about spending the day with them. I have seen a huge difference in my son since he started, and it’s lovely to hear when his key worker notices the things that my son really enjoys without me having to inform her. I am so glad we chose Kids Start and highly recommend them.",

The team always communicate what has happened in the day and how my daughter has got on in terms of meal times, sleeping and playing. I love how much time the kids spend outside, in all conditions and in appropriate clothes. The nursery and staff have all contributed to her development and it's amazing to see how much she has changed in the last 12 months since being there. My daughter has lots of friends and talks about them when I show her pictures. You can see why the nursery has been awarded outstanding in Ofsted. I would highly recommend the setting.",

What it's like to attend

Children flourish in this truly nurturing nursery, which continually strives to recognise, develop and support every child's individuality. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the nursery is providing children with even greater support in relation to their communication and language and social and emotional development. Pre-school children have impressive language skills and natural care and consideration for their friends.

Inspector highlights

-   Children challenge themselves during outdoor play, taking managed risks as they skilfully climb ladders, negotiate balance beams and race on scooters and tricycles. 
-   Children identify the ingredients in their lunch and talk about the different tastes in the homemade soup, demonstrating their exemplary vocabulary. 
-   Leaders understand the precise needs of the children in their care and have designed a curriculum that is tailored to those needs. 
-   Staff use what they know about the diverse heritage of the children who attend the nursery to help children celebrate their own backgrounds and learn about each other. 
-   Leaders ensure that a keen focus is given to delivering the highest level of support for children's health and well-being.

Kids Start is a fantastic, well run nursery and fully deserves its ‘Ofsted Outstanding’ rating. My 3 year old son has been attending since he was 12 months old and my daughter is due to start in the next few months. We love how each room has its own dedicated outdoor space and how the children play and explore outside every day regardless of the weather. The menu changes every week and is varied and nutritious - my son is a much more adventurous eater at nursery than he is at home! The staff have all been excellent - they are so caring and communicative, my son adores them. We have been so impressed with the range of different activities on offer to him each day and his development is thriving as a result. The nursery was recommended to us by friends and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

My son has recently joined the nursery and I cannot believe how quickly he has settled in! The whole process was absolutely amazing, Jodie and Debbie came to my house to meet with my son and to get to know us as parents too. They showed a genuine interest in our little boy and asked all the right questions to make sure they could help him settle into nursery and feel happy there. Following that he did various settling sessions in the nursery and I was kept completely up to date with photos via the app. All of the staff at Kids Start have a positive attitude and make the children feel excited about spending the day with them. I have seen a huge difference in my son since he started, and it’s lovely to hear when his key worker notices the things that my son really enjoys without me having to inform her. I am so glad we chose Kids Start and highly recommend them.

Since our child has started at Kids Start we have been really happy with the standard of care and all of the activities she gets up to. The team always communicate what has happened in the day and how my daughter has got on in terms of meal times, sleeping and playing. I love how much time the kids spend outside, in all conditions and in appropriate clothes. The nursery and staff have all contributed to her development and it's amazing to see how much she has changed in the last 12 months since being there. My daughter has lots of friends and talks about them when I show her pictures. You can see why the nursery has been awarded outstanding in Ofsted. I would highly recommend the setting.

My daughter has been at Kids Start for almost 2 years now and she has loved every second. The management are approachable and personable especially Jodie and Natalie. Regular updates are given on their online platform, and my daughter has thrived while being here. The food that the chef cooks is delicious and the kids get unlimited outdoor time which was initially what attracted me to the nursery.

My little boy started Kidsstart over a year ago, from the very start we found Kidsstart to be such a lovely, welcoming place! My boy has some developmental difficulties, and the staff are just amazing with him. They go above and beyond in supporting him (and our family) and he is so excited every morning for nursery! Thank you so much to all the lovely staff, you deserve all the praise and accolades the nursery receives!
