The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously Kiddies Academy Day Nursery), aims to provide the foundations needed to give children the confidence to reach their full potential.

They firmly believe that in order to do this, their role as an early years’ provider is to facilitate and encourage independence through the philosophy of ‘opportunities without limits’, and continually being responsive to the inquisitive and instinctive needs of the children.

Review from Laura (Mother of Child) published on 13 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When we moved from London, I was apprehensive about sending my son (then 2.5 years) to a new nursery when he was so settled in his previous one. But I had nothing to worry about as he settled quickly within a week and loves Kiddies.
The outdoor space and initiative to keep them playing and learning outside are wonderful. They learn more than the Early Years curriculum, they learn to look after each other and about different cultures too. Before Covid-19, they would go to the supermarket, train station and park to explore the world around them. The staff are so attentive and thoughtful, they point out areas for development and praise all the achievements they see/hear on a daily basis.

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!

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Ryan M (Father of Child) published on 29 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My two-year-old has been attending almost a year, she tells me frequently that nursery is the best place in the world.

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.

Overall Experience
Our son has been with Kiddies Academy since November 2019.
We can't speak highly enough of our experiences with the nursery. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The facilities, particularly the outside section, are fantastic.
Our son settled in very quickly and we feel very confident dropping him off.

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

Great staff and environment.
My daughter has been attending since September 19 and she has settled in very well. Her mental development has been exceptional and so kudos to the staff including the owners who have made this place somewhere my daughter actually looks forward to coming.

I would highly recommend this place to any parent.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Gosia L (Mother of Child) published on 6 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from I L (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My little one is bursting with joy every morning when she sees the nursery.
Staff are great and caring.
They are always supportive of a child's individual needs and take initiatives to teach new things ie potty training.
Children spend a lot of time in the garden and even little ones make their own food.

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

Review from S T (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Brilliant nursery - great staff and management, lovely space for the kids.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
Both my daughters attend Kiddies Academy with the oldest having been there for the past 18 months. We are greeted every day with a lovely warm welcome and I love that all staff are familiar with both of my girls, so they feel at ease as soon as we arrive.
The daily update sheets keep us well informed and quite regularly my daughters come home with pieces of art they have done during activity time.
Both of my girls social and interactive skills have grown since starting Kiddies Academy along with their speech and general development.
The staff are always happy to answer questions and are keen to work with you as a parent on the structure and routine of your child’s day.
Both of my daughters come home happy and cheery and that indicates to me that they have enjoyed their day at nursery.
I feel the manager is doing a fantastic job and is creating a lovely positive atmosphere in the nursery.

I cannot speak highly enough of The Kiddies Academy and the wonderful staff.

Shankeetha Kanesalingam Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2024
Shankeetha Kanesalingam

My name is Shankeetha, and I joined The Beaconsfield Day Nursery and Preschool in July 2024 as Deputy Manager. In May 2025, I stepped into my current role as Nursery Manager. I have been working in childcare for over eight years, and during that time, I have gained a wide range of experience supporting children’s development across different early years settings. I hold a BA in Early Years Education, which has given me both the knowledge and the confidence to lead with a strong understanding of child development.

What I truly love about working in childcare is being part of each child’s learning journey — from their very first steps into nursery life to developing the independence and confidence they will carry with them into school and life.

Seeing children thrive, explore, and grow brings me so much joy, and it is incredibly rewarding to know that I play a part in those milestones.

One of the things I love most about my job is working alongside such a passionate and dedicated team, as well as building strong partnerships with families. Together, we ensure that every child feels valued and cared for. It is a real privilege to lead The Beaconsfield Day Nursery and Preschool. To me, what makes our nursery so special is the caring community we have built — one where children are truly at the heart of everything we do.
