An amazing, friendly and very caring nursery My son has been coming here since he was 9 months and he is now 3 years old. He absolutely loves this nursery and so do I. All the staff are very lovely and caring and make you feel at ease that your child will be taken good care of. My sons development since starting has improved so much and his social skills have grown a lot. I highly recommend Kidz Kabin.

We absolutely loved having our son Ben at Kidz Kabin. All of the staff are so warm and loving to the children. It was a pleasure watching Ben run into the room to hug the staff each day. The children are regularly taken to the parks and playgrounds nearby. The staff are really communicative and also so helpful with accommodating extra sessions when you need. I cannot recommend them enough!

We love Kidz Kabin so much the staff are so welcoming and loving and our little girl has come on leaps and bounds in confidence, eating and speaking skills. We love the little reports we get and how much our child gets out of her nursery days. We also love when we had concerns about our childs eating habits they really helped us monitor it and took so much time with us.

The team at Kidz Kabin at Shropshire Hall are exceptional. We chose the nursery because they were clearly very kind and interested in making our little boy feel we viewed even as a baby. Since he started he has developed quickly, we get good feedback on his day to day activities, his wellbeing and his development. He loves it there, which I can only say is down to his key worker’s great rapport with the children and the wider team. I love all the ingenious activities they do with the children and how flexible and child focused they are.
