My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 9 months old and she is now 3yrs. She loves it and the staff are fantastic with her they have really brought her on tremendously. Its reassuring for me to know that I can leave my daughter in their capable hands and whilst she is having a great time playing with her buddies she is also learning so much. Great parent feedback also.

Our little girl loves it here. She goes one day a week so we were slightly worried about how she would settle. She has the best time and learns so much. The staff are great with all the kiddies

I love Kids World, my son has blossomed and grown since attending, he has made some great friends who he doesn't stop talking about and is always excited to share the things he's learnt with me. The teachers are wonderful and have such great interaction with the children as well as the parents. Was definitely a good choice of nursery!!

My son has been going to this nursery since November 2016. He's 2yr 2mth now and absolutely loves it! Before he started, he didn't play unless I played with him, he didn't leave my side, literally! He has taken to his key worker Lindsay and looks forward to seeing her, she has been fantastic with him. He speaks more, he plays more, he is more patient and so much happier than he was. He has friends and is so social now, I never thought it possible. The nursery staff are so friendly and actually bond with the children on a personal level. It's like home from home, it's obvious these ladies love their job and its clear to see the children are safe and happy there. It's much better than main stream nurseries, where children are numbers and a job has to be done. I'll be keeping my boy here for as long as possible.
