Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great activities provided on a daily basis and children reach milestones. Good communication with parents. Regular nursery update with emails. My son loves coming into the Buttercup room and has made strong relationships with all staff members. Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery have a fabulous outdoor space
with two very large gardens and they spend a lot of time in the garden which is excellent for physical development. During the Covid-19 period, activities were emailed and we received videos of staff singing nursery rhymes. Very happy with Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery. My son has developed so well at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery with the two days he attends.

My son started at Kiddies' Cabin after the 1st lockdown in 2020, we are so pleased with how much he’s developed in that time, especially after having 3 months at home with us. He went into the Buttercup room and we’ve felt supported and cared for by the staff in there. We also find the nursery management
team extremely helpful and approachable. My son has become a happy confident child and we would definitely recommend the nursery to others.

Really happy with the nursery and staff since my son started just over a year ago, at 2 years old. Everyone working there is friendly and my son settled in really quickly after leaving his last nursery. He is learning lots and the staff give good individual feedback each day. Facilities are good and
great inside/outside space.

Our son is very happy at Kiddies' Cabin and we have found all the staff to be friendly and professional. The nursery maintains good communication with parents, including through lockdown when they continued to check in on our son's progress and wellbeing. Overall we are happy with our experience.

My son attended Kiddies' Cabin for 4 years and my daughter is currently attending - it's a great nursery and they've both had a great time there. The carers have built great relationships with the kids and are very pleasant to deal with.

The environment at Kiddies' Cabin is light, fun and welcoming. The spaces for different activities both inside, on the terraces whatever the weather or in the garden are varied and educational. The staff are very sweet, thoughtful and kind to the children. Would highly recommend this nursery.

We are very happy with the care provided by Kiddies' Cabin to both our children over the years. It provides the best value in the area, has excellent staff and facilities, and the children enjoy a lovely range of activities.
Our first child has recently left to start school and believe her experience
at the nursery has helped enormously. Our second child joined at 10 months old just before the pandemic. The staff have settled him in well and he is always eager to go to nursery each day!
We would highly recommend Kiddies' Cabin.

Review from Helene B (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is all you want as a parent. They feel like family to us. Both carers and management are outstanding.
What I like the most about this nursery:
- The team and their professionalism: There is barely any turnover in the team, most of the people I met back in August 2016 with my first child
are still there. They enjoy their job.
- The children are their top priority and they want to make them happy. They are extremely creative in the way they interact with them. No children will get bored there!
- The communication is excellent: you receive a good overview of your child's day to day. Also, you will get notified if they notice something unusual (eg child crying when having a wee - possible wee infection etc).
During the first lockdown, they were very good at keeping in touch. We received activities ideas per email each week from the manager, we even got a handmade birthday card for my son's first birthday from all of his carers!
I highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The children's safety is most important and they are good with that. The reason why I am not so happy to recommend the nursery is that I think they are just doing the minimum. The activities are not creative and nothing is really organised, they are just watching the kids. They could do much more.
Reply from Leigh Kelly, Nursery Manager at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery
Kiddies’ Cabin provides a wide range of activities and learning opportunities for the children. This is reflected in the learning journeys, artwork and photographs displayed around the nursery.…read more

The best decision I made moving my sixteen-month-old to Kiddies' Cabin. Staff have been great from the get-go. I know my child is safe, taken care of and developing new skills so often. Will highly recommend the nursery to all parents without any hesitation.

Our daughter has been going to Kiddies Cabin for one year and she has loved it. She has a great relationship with all the staff and they are very helpful.
They have a great programme of activities and lots of artwork. My daughter did lots of phonics this year and this has really got her prepared for
school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kiddies Cabin Maidenhead is a welcoming friendly fun place for your children to learn and flourish. The whole team are hard working and committed to each child. The time the staff take to build relationships with the children is unremarkable. My child has been at Kiddies Cabin since 2015 and he has
grown and developed with the help of all the staff into a smart inquisitive young boy. When asking him what's he has done that day he reels off a list of things they have done (sometimes endless) Reading painting playing singing and he does so with such excitement. The whole nursery is kept clean to a very high standard and the children's rooms are more than adequate to stimulate and engage the children. I can honestly say I feel it's is a safe and caring environment for my child to be in and have no concerns in regard to the care of my child when in their care. Fantastic staff and a fantastic place :)

My daughter recently started at the nursery. She has settled remarkably well and so quickly for her young age (12 months). The warm welcome in the morning to the many cuddles and fun games make this a wonderful environment for her to thrive in. Her carers are a great professional face for the nursery
and demonstrate genuine care for us a family unit. We feel very lucky that both our children have had the joy of attending this nursery and would happily recommend them.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.862)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.862) out of 10 for Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.910 for Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.91
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.952 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 63 number of registered child places is 12.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.952
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
