Review from Marta C (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has been with them since 9months and our experience so far is great, very caring, very respectful of child routines, she is happy going in, she tells us about her day and play.

The room leaders specially Molly are such a great example of a caring environment. During transition between rooms Rashmi our key person was such a great help, and our girl still talks about her and looks forward to seeing her.

Reply from Angie Russell, Customer Care Partner at Kids Play The Childcare Hub

Review from Allicia C (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is by far the best nursery I have experienced in the area!
My youngest came here after a bad experience at a different nursery which left her shy, quiet and isolated. Shes been at the childcare hub since October and has come on leaps and bound!
Shes excited to go to nursery every morning with no tears or tantrums, she has started to speak more and more and even starting trying to use the potty (she's just turned 2!).
From a parent perspective they are a safe, secure nursery with excellent communication and super helpful staff.

Thank you!

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Care Manager at Kids Play The Childcare Hub

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear how much your youngest has blossomed since joining us. It's fantastic that she's gaining confidence, developing new skills, and enjoying her time at nursery each day. Our team works hard to provide a safe, nurturing environment, and it's so rewarding to know it's making a real difference.

My little one loves it here. He runs in every morning and sometimes doesn't want to leave at the end of the day! Staff are great with him and he's progressed so much being there. The outdoor space was a big draw for us and sometimes they spend most of the day outside which is great

My son started forest school and absolutely loves the classes. He always have a great time, talks about the adults looking after him and brings home a variety of things hes made or drawn. They are treating him with such care and building his independence and individuality.

The team always gives up updates and we work together to meet common goals. Thanks for looking after him.

Overall Experience

My son has settled into nursery so well! He's been in 2 rooms so far and both have been fantastic, as was the settling process from one room to another. Leaving your small baby with effectively strangers is a big deal, and the process was made as easy as could be for both me and my son. Staff are supportive and understanding when raising any issues or when you need support with things that you are working on at home. Staff seem to know lots of the children as well, not just those in their room, which is lovely! My son has developed and learned so much since being here too.

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Kids Play The Childcare Hub

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that your son has settled so well and that the transitions between rooms were smooth and supportive.

My son attended the nursery from 1 years old and still regularly attends the holiday club during school holidays. The facilities are great, the staff are fantastic, overall cannot fault the nursery and the care the staff provide for the children. With the large garden space for outdoor play as well as forest school there is always something going on for the children.

My child has been at the nursery for 2 years. He is so happy and keen to attend. All his key workers have been amazing and really understand Lucas and want the best for him. He comes home talking about his friends and saying how much he loves Molly. All the leadership team know who you are and your child and will bend over backwards to help you. I love the team and the atmosphere they create.

Overall Experience

Kids Play has been absolutely fantastic. My baby started in August at 12 months old and they have been so supportive and accommodating. The staff in the baby room are caring and nurturing and I have no worries about sending my baby there every day. They update the app every day so I know how his day is going and I have every confidence that they would tell me immediately if it was otherwise. The team are so open and friendly and I feel so well supported by them. The settling process was great and they were so flexible about it to meet the needs of my baby and he was always their priority in the process. I couldn't rate the nursery highly enough so far!!

Overall Experience

I have first known Kids Play with my son when he started attending at 1 year old and now mu daughter is attending pre school, and also my son attends activity day camp too when needed during school holidays. I have only had wonderful experiences with all the different teachers we encountered in the various rooms. They're all passionate about their job, they absolutely love the children and my kids have always been very happy with all of them. I cannot recommend Kids Play strong enough!

Review from D S (Mother of Child) published on 15 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am beyond grateful for the staff at the hub. They have helped me identify area of development we need to work on, supported with referrals and setting up IEP's alongside other trackers to ensure we get us much as possible to help with my child's referrals. They have supported me in the process and been incredibly kind as I have found not just the separation difficult but also coming to terms with SEN bits that came to light. They are so loving and continue to work hard with my child to help her reach her full potential. I can't say thank you enough.

Review from Claire J (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started attending preschool, during Covid, having had a really poor experience at our local nursery/preschool. From day 1 the experience was completely different! The staff were fantastic and my son had a wonderful time- he loved playing outdoors, joining in with activities and making friends. He attended the preschool until he went to school, at which point, my daughter started attending the nursery. She was so well looked after, by some of the kindest, caring staff I've met. She then moved up to preschool where she is now- she has so much fun on her preschool days! Again, our experience has been brilliant- she loves all of the staff, especially learning about all their different cultural backgrounds during celebrations throughout the year. The management team are great- so helpful and flexible and understanding when we have questions or requests. Having attended this nursery/preschool for 5 years, we are going to really miss them when my youngest starts school!

Review from G O (Father of Child) published on 1 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Not a good nursery if your child has any additional needs. My son has a speech delay and as such was not as advanced as other children when it came to sitting and eating lunch. On almost every day he would be sent home with us being told he had eaten a solitary cracker. We had advised the nursery that he eats with a high chair at home so as to focus him on the meal, however, they refused to use a high chair and were happy for him to go a while, 8-hour day wasting only a cracker. By comparison, he has now started a primary school nursery and is given access to a high chair and eats the majority of his lunch every day. For how much money you pay for a nursery like this you would hope they would at least feed your children. He was left to his own devices most of the time and we were left with the impression they did not have the time or resources to support him.
