Our daughter started at 9months and has been incredibly happy here ever since! The baby room is a really lovely and nurturing environment for children to grow, and the staff really do go above and beyond. They were very kind when settling my daughter in and have been very supportive with her transition to the toddler room which she loves! The nursery has a nice outdoor space for the children to use and they always seem to do lots of great activities to improve motor skills and general learning. Kelly, the manager, has really introduced some brilliant events and schemes and we’ve felt part of a friendly, welcoming and lovely nursery community. We will be sending our son and couldn’t be happier with the nursery to date! The food variety is always brilliant and so nice to see our daughter eating well and getting updates of her day via the app!

Under Kelly's leadership, the nursery became a fantastic environment for my eldest child. She's loved every minute and still talks about all her experiences. The staff, especially Hannah, has made a lasting impression on her. I've even had to cook like David or the food will not be eaten at home! With its Good Ofsted rating recently, I am sure the nursery will continue to provide such a wonderful experience for other children. Thank you for everything you have done for our eldest. We look forward to seeing our little girl thrive with you in September 2025 when she joins the nursery family! Unfortunately since Kelly has left the nursery it seems to have gone down hill!!! Be wary!

This nursery, honestly don't send your child here, they give someone else's blanket to your child and teddy when they put them to sleep even though my child had his own things there, they also lie about how much your child will eat and how much he sleeps, in my experience this nursery really neglected my child, he was not the same child as pre nursery so me and my husband decided to move him out of this nursery and he is so much healthier unlike here he lost soo much weight and they wouldn't encourage him to eat and he's happy. Please take my advice on this.

I can’t recommend the baby room highly enough. My son has been cared for so well there. He currently has bad nappy rash and they have worked tirelessly to help him and keep him comfortable; I just logged on the app and was greated with detailed notes regarding his special care around it. I’ve also received very detailed observation sheets and they do a lot of great activities at a young age. The food is also very healthy and he eats and sleeps very well there. He’s very close to the staff and they are genuinely very caring.

Kiddies Academy have been brilliant for both of my girls. We've had about 6 years of care between 2 girls and it's always been first class. There are plenty of educational and play activities and the staff are always looking to create an sensory, educational environment. The facilities are great and the nursery have made the outdoor space a cool place for the children to play.
