Day Nurseries Owned by Kids Inc Nurseries in Essex

Avoid at all costs if your child's safety is your highest priority.

My two-year-old granddaughter attended the Palmerston Road, Buckhurst Hill branch in Essex, starting in March 2026.

Shortly after she started, a serious incident occurred. During outdoor play, she was able to crawl underneath a fence into the car park without staff noticing. We were told that staff only realised she was missing when she returned through the same gap a few minutes later.

What concerned us just as much as the incident itself was how it was handled. Her parents were not informed immediately; they were told about it at collection time. They felt the incident was presented in a matter-of-fact way, with reassurance that she had returned unharmed, rather than with the seriousness they expected.

Every parent expects their child's safety and wellbeing to be the highest priority. In our opinion, the circumstances of this incident and the response afterwards did not reflect that standard.

Kid Inc is one of the best Nurseries in the area we looked at many and kind Inc stood out above all for outstanding Childcare and amazing caring friendly staff, The nursery is organised and very well run the food is brilliant our baby enjoys going to nursery and we can work having the piece of mind that our baby is safe and cared for cannot speak highly enough of kid Inc

Choosing a nursery as first-time parents was always going to be a daunting task for us. We visited many nurseries before deciding to put our daughter at Kids Inc Broomfield and we are so pleased that we did. It only took a couple of weeks for our daughter (who wasn't even 12 months old at the time) to settle in. Any morning tears soon went and now she doesn't want to leave when we pick her up. We quickly noticed her development and she has learnt so much during the short period of time she has been with the nursery. The staff are great. They're all really friendly and caring and we are really comfortable leaving our daughter in their care. We also really appreciate the updates via the app. Overall a fantastic nursery!

Our son has a wonderful time! When we drop him off he is so excited and runs through the door. He loves all the staff and hugs them all to say 'hello' and 'goodbye'. He eats well and a varied, healthy diet. The activities of the day are well thought out.

My nephew has been attending nursery for 4 months now and has come a long way since he started. He is always talking about all his friends at the weekend. The staff are amazing. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

Our little girl has been with the nursery for three months and adores her time there. She has settled in amazingly with the help of excellent support workers. We love receiving photos of the activities she does and she's always so happy when we collect her at the end of the day. We couldn't have asked for a better nursery for her.

Our daughter has been at Kids Inc Day Nursery for just over six months. She absolutely loves it here and has settled really well. The staff are brilliant, so caring and have put us totally at ease. Her development has come on amazingly too! Would definitely recommend.

My daughter has settled in very well and now looks forward to it every day. This is all thanks to the staff who have done all they can to help both myself and my husband be comfortable but also to give my daughter great care. I already recommend the nursery and will continue to do so.

My daughter really enjoys coming to nursery and has settled very well. We have been very impressed with all the staff who have looked after her.

Brilliant nursery.

Great staff who treat the children as if they were their own. Kids Inc Day Nursery - Loughton has been a critical and key role in providing care and support for our children. My immediate and extended family have been using them for years!

I couldn't recommend Kids Inc Day Nursery enough. My twins have been so well looked after for the last two and a half years. The care has always been outstanding.

My son has been coming to Kids Inc in Loughton since he was around 9 months old when I returned to work. The team were so understanding of how hard this was for our family and so reassuring. Being so young, I was worried - would he eat well, would he take a bottle, would he nap, would they know how to comfort him when he was upset? The answers were yes, yes, yes and yes! He’s been attending for over 6 months now and the team are great engaging with him, I get regular updates, including photos, and there’s lots of sensory activities such as introducing him to paints, crafts, drawing as well as water and foam play. Does he still get upset? Yes naturally, he’s teething and there’s colds, but the team are great at keeping him occupied and giving cuddles when he needs them, and knowing that helps give me comfort. The food seems lovely and provides a great variety - and the team seem to have endless patience at meal times. All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend Kids Inc.

My children are vegan and they have catered well for this. They always tell me how they like their pre-school food more than mummy's!

My granddaughter has attended for around a year now and she absolutely loves nursery, when I pick her up in the evenings she is always happy and engaged in lovely activities. All the staff are so happy and friendly and can never do enough for you. Cannot recommend this nursery enough. Lovely nursery and staff.

Both of our children have attended this nursery since after the first lockdown and we can honestly say we've been very happy with the level of care provided. They both have been so happy to go everyday and come home having had such fun bursting with stories! The location and car park make it easily accessible which is really convenient. All the staff are always so welcoming and friendly and were so glad to have found this gem of a nursery!

My son has been attending this nursery for a year now, he always has a big smile on his face when we arrive at the nursery. All the staff are caring and are really good with the kids. They do lots of events for parents to take part in too, which we find good as we get to know other parents. I would recommend this nursery to other parents.

My son has been coming to Kids Inc in Loughton since he was 10 months old, and of course, I was a nervous wreck at first. I did not need to worry - the staff in the baby room were so lovely and caring, and after a few weeks, he went in with open arms. Often when I would look through the window upon picking him up, he would be cuddled up with the girls reading a book or singing songs with a big smile on his face, and I felt so much better. Now he is in the toddler room; he does not even look back when I drop him off! He absolutely loves it, and I know that the staff genuinely care about him. The activities they set up are fantastic; he has so much fun. I think the food is so impressive; he eats better than me at work! It's always healthy and a really good variety - his sheet almost always says that he has eaten everything they have given him, and I'm not surprised. It would be nice to get more updates throughout the day on the app - that's the only thing I can add! Would not hesitate to recommend.

The staff at Kids Inc Loughton are so friendly and caring to my son. I really like the way the children have a little structure to their day with the staff being so attentive at teaching them mealtime manners, kindness to others etc. Would highly recommend.

My nephew has attended this nursery since he was 2 and a half and he is now 4. He adores the staff in his room and they take such wonderful care of him. He is always coming home telling us all about the amazing adventures he gets up to with his friends. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone that is looking for a nursery in the area.
