Day Nurseries Owned by Kid 'N' Play Ltd

they always seem friendly when I come in, with a big smile and say hello. I will miss coming to nursery, but I wanted to thank them all for all their hard work and for looking after my grandson so well.

staff and transparency of daily routines gave us instant reassurance. He has enjoyed moving up through the rooms and we have enjoyed getting to know all of the staff as they have helped him grow and develop. Making strong connections with his key workers as they have played a big role in his time there. We look forward to sending our youngest there in January and I know this will help to ease me with the transition of going back to work.

is her favourite place. I can’t thank the team enough for what they have done for my little girl- she truly loves her happy place. The manager and deputy manager are wonderful and very helpful - nothing is too much bother - they go above and beyond with me and my daughter. The girls, likewise, they too do more than I expect. Yes, there are some gripes, but considering what we get back, they are very, very minor!

to start the day at nursery and cry whenever they have to leave. It’s an absolute pleasure to see the happy faces whenever I pick up. Handovers are great and I am always informed of changes to routines and anything of interest. The staff seem happy and supported and genuinely seem to care for my daughter and my son when he attended. I can’t recommend them enough!

if you urgently need help (we have no family here).
You provide nappies and wipes even though they are the most expensive nursery setting in the area. Again mentioned many times but never acknowledged.
A number of parents have made valid suggestions in the past and nothing has been done. The desserts were changed from high sugar items to fruits for a short time.
A number of times my child’s bum wasn’t wiped properly/checked.
No aprons when painting and numerous clothes are stained.
Everything is talked about in front of other parents, sometimes sensitive issues.
No air con, very very hot in the summer months.

feedback on her day at nursery.

in any way they can. I simply could not replicate the number of activities and the amount of socialising my children have experienced at nursery. I am most grateful to the staff for encouraging independence and confidence in my social little children.

is a secondary teacher and I was a secondary teacher of 10 years, so I know a little bit about education and expectations. St Gabriels has far exceeded any of the expectations I had and has given us hope and confidence that our children can reach their full potential. Especially our son, who was recently diagnosed with autism. I’m not exaggerating to say choosing St Gabriels was one of the best decisions we have made. I have already recommended them to my sister and she is going to enrol her daughter. If you are reading this review and you’re still not sure, then please take my advice and send your child there. It will be one of the best things you will ever do for them.

which are invaluable to us as full-time working parents. The setting is great too; well stocked with lots of educational toys, books and other things to keep little people busy and super safe. It also has a lovely little reading library, a soft play area and well-equipped bathrooms, which really help with the dreaded potty training! My children would always have outside time in the amazing gardens to run off lots of energy and the food provided was of such a high standard as well. The boys have also made lifelong friendships with lots of other children who attended this nursery and they still talk very fondly of all the staff. Definitely would highly recommend.

along with. 100% recommended!!!

plan daily activities to support to enable them to progress further and reach their full potential. Staff are always friendly and approachable and go out of the way for both parents and children. Staff care for each child and take interest in them. It’s an outstanding nursery, and I am so glad I chose this one. I would highly recommend to everyone.

fun and have helped him to learn lots of new skills. I can't thank the nursery enough for the very positive start ourselves and our son have had to nursery life.

throughout the nearly three years where we didn't know something probably because we are busy but the staff in the office are a great help and will always talk through any problem you may have. I don't have a bad or constructive thing to say, the way they handled the pandemic was brilliant and I know many parents at different nurseries with very different experiences. Send your child here you won't regret it.

for my disabled child. Happy to learn and make adaptions, always supportive and helpful. Wish they could keep children till 18!

day. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a place within the area.

as parents also formed great relationships with the staff. Communication between key workers and parents is fantastic. Your child will thrive in this nursery. Meals are always nutritious and yummy, boys never had a complaint.

Our little girl settled in so quickly and is excited to go there.
