Little Garden The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School

My son has been attending Kiddies Academy for the last year after having been at a childminder for 2 years prior to that. While he did well at the childminders, he has thrived at Kiddies. The activities before the lockdown were absolutely amazing, from French lessons to cooking and baking to sports. The mud kitchen just fields the imagination. How they handled the situation during lockdown was inspiring, using Zoom to engage the students who couldn't make it in. My boy a lot of times didn't want to come home because he was having too much fun. His academic skills were already advanced, but Kiddies helped hone them. They also helped with development of his social skills. I have nothing but praise for the staff at Kiddies Academy.

We will definitely be using them again. My daughter skips to camp in the morning which is the best recommendation as far as we are concerned.

My daughter started at Kiddies at 13 months and was quite clingy but now happily leaves me to have her day of fun - listening to music, playing in the mud kitchen and painting! I recommend Kiddies to anyone I know that is looking for a nursery!

Before he started Kiddies, my son never wanted to leave me for childcare. His childminder was great but he still did not want to go. Now he's at Kiddies it's the complete opposite. He is raring to go most mornings and never wants to leave. I think they have been fantastic with encouragement and development of his skills and are always on hand for advice. Can't recommend them enough.

Our son has been attending Kiddies Academy for the past 2 years and we could not be more pleased with the nursery. Kiddies Academy offers a warm, caring and nurturing environment for children. The staff go above and beyond in every respect and the management are incredibly responsive. I once mentioned that it would be great for the kids to do some gardening and within a week they had incorporated an entire growing segment to the nursery. The pre-school space is second to none, a big, light-filled room with the free-flow for the children from inside to outside. My eldest son has now moved on to school but we are still able to use the wrap-around care at Kiddies as and when it is needed. They also have drop-in summer programmes which are great when you just need a couple of kid-free days. Overall we have been incredibly happy with this nursery and would recommend to anyone.

She comes home having had the best day ever, she will access activities that develop her life skills. The nursery provides exceptional opportunities that really make me feel like she is learning more than I could have envisaged. Very pleased. Would highly recommend having a look round.

The management team have communicated brilliantly in what has been a very uncertain time during the pandemic.

I would highly recommend this place to any parent.

The Kiddies Academy is a fantastic nursery. My 20 month old absolutely loves it. He is happy to go every day. The settling sessions are flexible and the nursery works very closely with parents on an individual basis. There is a lot of focus on outdoor time, activities and good behaviour. The staff are lovely and very caring. Exceptionally clean and friendly place. Feels like family.

It has taken a while for my daughter to settle into nursery but the staff and management have all been so good with helping with the transition and giving me peace of mind too. It is a big thing leaving your child for the first time but I am confident she is in good hands at The Kiddies Academy and would highly recommend.

Highly recommended.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she the age of 1 (she is 3 now). From the very beginning, everybody has been very welcoming and my daughter settled in very easily. She has created strong bonds with a lot of the staff members and everyone seemed to be very caring and warm towards her. Her key person was brilliant with her, I always received very detailed feedback each day so I did not have to worry if I could not attend parents evenings. Everything has been passed onto me each day. She also was very caring and understood all of my daughter's needs. The nursery has been redecorated recently and it has made a big change. Everything seems very tidy and organised, with ideas still to be implemented. My daughter has also been really fond of the food served by the nursery and on many occasions, having seconds for her meals and loving her snacks too. The garden area is very well organised with plenty of space for children to run around. Management is also very efficient.

I like that the nursery is small as every child gets the attention they deserve.

My son loves the staff here. He is so happy with his key worker and I love how happy he is and how much fun and learning and I am very happy with the new Manager. Very welcoming and friendly.

The staff are knowledgeable and welcoming giving the great balance of safety and comfort that any parent or guardian would wish for.

My nephew has settled in well and has becoming more engaging and confident with his time there.

They fully supported our son who needed some extra help with learning and joining in - plus had speech and language delay. Management and staff pulled together to do everything they could - much appreciated. The staff provide lively encouraging games and learning for the kids - with a view to preparing them for school. He loved his days there and would ask to go back at weekends. The spaces are well designed, lovely open areas with lots of variety for the children - especially the use of the outdoor play space that becomes an extension of the indoor space in summer. Would recommend this nursery.

After meeting the caring and friendly staff I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kiddies Academy to anyone. Great fun for the kids and peace of mind for the parents that they are in safe hands :)

Overall I find this to be a lovely environment for children to thrive. The facilities are excellent and the whole nursery is always clean. The staff are dedicated and caring and clearly committed to wanting the best for the children under their care.

You can tell they take pride in providing care and teaching to the kids.

The nursery is welcoming and friendly and very much a 'home from home'. The positives are that the children all seem genuinely happy there and the staff are wonderful. They have a real passion for their roles and children are given plenty of activities to do. In terms of improvement, I would suggest more variety in terms of food given as snacks options are often repeated and the baby room could be a larger space.
