Kids Inc Day Nursery - South Woodford

nursery is the right place for my child.

sweet things to be banned as I don't see why a 2-year-old needs pudding at nursery (and I think this should be applied to all schools in the UK).

If snacks are given it should be healthy veg or fruit only.

I think juice should also be banned and have water only (I have already asked for my child not to be given juice but I also think it's a little mean that the others can have it and she can't. I'd rather it wasn't available to anyone).

welcoming! Because of this leaving my son at the nursery is made easier!

The children are well looked after and happy. They have a great outdoor space which was really important to us as we lived in a first floor flat when my son joined. All the staff are friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. The food is great, I often wish I could join them for the chefs cooking! I love that they do various clubs such as cooking and science which the children really enjoy. The pre-schoolers have their own PC and great support in learning. There are lots of events and good communication between the nursery and parents. Both children have both made some lovely friends. We are really happy with the nursery, the staff, the facilities and the care our children receive.

staff are always laughing and smiling. I was also super impressed at the activities they get involved in at such an early age like baking and messy play.
Now that she's a toddler I'm happy that she's receiving the best balance in terms of having fun and learning new skills and behaviour. At the end of each day, the staff tell me specific things she's been doing such as trying to say the names of other children so I can practice with her when we're home.
Pretty much every morning when I say we need to leave for the nursery, she grabs her little red bag and runs out to the car with a smile on her face. For me, that says everything.

(although sometimes I’d like to see more challenging activities provided). Key workers respond to your comments and requests i.e. to support the child’s confidence with writing.

My son loves being there and is only moving due to their inability to provide a four-day per week allocation.

want to have a little cry at how totally unbothered my son is to leave me!
He adores his key workers and loves his time there.

well and has a lovely variety of home cooked meals each day.

what happens is a parent and child has to wait by the stairs to allow a parent to take off or put on their child's coat when picking or dropping off a child at the butterflies. The lounge/space needs to be extended or widened to allow more parents/children at a given time.

The management in the last couple of years has hugely improved, there is a strong manager in place, and the nursery quickly addresses and deals with any concerns. Another thing that is a big plus, in my opinion, is the fact that the food is cooked on the premises and is fresh, varied and healthy.
