My two year old little girl started at Kinver Garden Day Nursery this year. I was very nervous about the idea of a nursery as my eldest child went to a childminder. But after a lot of research my husband and I decided on this little gem. What can I say? Well, this nursery is beautiful, clean, cosy and so welcoming. The staff members are absolutely amazing, maternal and such a great team. The Nursery is a treasure to Kinver village and I’m so delighted our daughter is apart of it. I would 1000% recommend Kinver Garden Day nursery to anyone. Homemade meals, children enjoying the outdoors, an App that keeps parents updated with pictures throughout the day, crafts and lots of messy play! The love, care and dedication the staff show to every child and family they care for is outstanding. Our little girl loves attending every week, which as a parent is so heartwarming, it completely puts our minds at ease and we are excited for her future there. Thank you Kinver Garden Day Nursery, you are all angels 🩷

Can’t recommend this nursery enough. Having used other settings with our first child, we’ve been so pleased with every aspect of KGDN. It’s such a home-from-home environment and the team take a real genuine interest in our little one which is really lovely to see. They make the whole process so easy and stress free :)
