An Exceptional Nursery –Kids Lab A True Gem for Children and Parents! We have been with this wonderful nursery for the past two years, and both of our daughters have attended. It has truly been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredible — warm, caring, and genuinely devoted to each child’s well-being and development. Knowing our girls were in such safe and loving hands gave us complete peace of mind every day. The nursery provides a rich, exciting, and nurturing environment. From twice-yearly trips to the theater to joyful celebrations for New Year, Easter, and other special occasions, there’s always something magical happening. Every day is an opportunity for children to discover, learn, and grow. The variety of activities is amazing — sports classes, dance, drama, and endless creative play that sparks curiosity and builds confidence. Our daughters have thrived, made wonderful friendships, and created memories that will stay with them forever. One of the highlights was the graduation party — a beautifully organized, emotional, and unforgettable celebration that truly honored the children’s journey. It was the perfect send-off and a clear reflection of how much love and thought the nursery puts into everything they do. As we say goodbye, we are filled with gratitude and emotion. We will deeply miss our Kids Lab family. Thank you for creating such a magical, supportive, and inspiring place for our girls — and for us as parents. Highly, highly recommended!

My little boy just graduated from KidsLab! It’s been an incredible year full of wonderful surprises and so much learning, both for him and for me. A huge shoutout to Juliana and the entire school team — you are amazing! Thank you so much.

Kids Lab has been part of our lives now for nearly 3 years. From day one, it has truly been a wonderful, nurturing and happy environment for our daughter. The staff are amazing! All of them kind, caring, supportive and warm...the feel of a close-knit family, and that warmth carries through in everything they do. The nursery has a good solid structure in place which allows them to give our children more in terms of education or activities. Another standout feature is their large garden — a huge plus in our area — giving the children ample time to enjoy the outdoors. I honestly can’t recommend Kids Lab enough!

This journey was not supposed to be an easy one for my kid - super demanding, super emotional, super attached to me - nor for me, torn apart by guilt, crying on the nursery parking, when i first left him there. But we had the best guides we could ask for, not just professionals, but people with really big heart, the ones, who’s always ready to give an extra attention, one more hug or kind word, second helping of pasta bolognaise (happens often). People, who can rock your child to sleep and stay with him holding his hand, if needed. My son has lived the entire life during this year, spent in Kidslab, life filled whith dancing, new friendships, ducklings hatching and planting strawberries. His first trick-or-treat, his first West End show. And i can see, how this time, spent away from me with other people, shaped him in a very best way - more brave and independent, more grown up - cause those are people who loves and cares. Of course, this would be impossible without Juliana, who’s giving a perfect example of what a business could look like, if it’s driven with a real passion. It takes a village to raise a child - which you don’t have, when you are alone in a big city. With Kidslab i always had this feeling of my village and community, and it’s made and inspired by Juliana. We are really lucky to have this happened in our life.
