Kingsmead Day Nursery Chandler's Ford

The gardens/play areas are a fantastic space which our little one enjoys and offers a wide range of activities indoors and outdoors.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kingsmead to anyone.

We absolutely love Kingsmead!

The staff, setting and activities are all fantastic. Our eldest (who is almost 4) has been at Kingsmead since she was 18 months and looks forward to going every time :) She feels very safe there and loves re-enacting games and experiences had there over the last week - often getting into the role as one of the fabulous staff who look after her! I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and how they go above and beyond to make sure they get to know the children and what goes on in their life outside of nursery.

The garden is beautiful and my daughter loves that it feels like they're going into the woods to explore and play as it's surrounded by trees. The activities on offer are excellent and I am amazed at the things my daughter can talk about or do that I know I haven't yet taught her.

My son is due to start next month and I am confident that they will make him feel as settled and cared for as my daughter does and that they will help him to flourish too.

I could not wish for a better place to leave my boy.

My daughter has been attending Kingsmead since October 2016. The staff have helped settle her into nursery very well as she is a clingy child. The staff are very approachable and friendly with good communication skills. Kingsmead offers a wide range of resources for indoor and outdoor play. I am very happy with the care given and so is my daughter.

This nursery provides excellent care in a wonderfully re-assuring and intimate 'home-from-home' setting. We can only describe this nursery as a very positive environment for small pre-school children to spend their time and develop. Communication between nursery staff and parents is great, and we have never had cause to escalate anything beyond the key worker, as anything that requires action is immediately dealt with.

Our daughter has been attending Kingsmead for 14 months. Since her first day she has been made to feel so happy and safe, offered comfort when needed and has been very well looked after all round. Staff are always friendly and supportive and I'm 100% confident in their safety measures. Overall I would recommend Kingsmead to anyone locally looking for childcare for their children. Our daughter feels nursery is an extension of her family. :)

A wonderful, caring environment with friendly staff who work hard to make the children happy. There is a low turnaround of staff, so the children really know their key person. My 1 year old is being looked after by the same ladies who cared for my 6 year old!

We are very pleased with Kingsmead Day Nursery. Our son enjoys going, has made lots of friends and often refers to the staff fondly. We like the mix of ages and experience of the staff who are caring and approachable. Our older son also went to Kingsmead Day Nursery and also enjoyed his time there. He loves the outdoor wooded area and space in particular.

I am absolutely delighted with this small, friendly nursery. The staff are excellent, proactive, enthusiastic, engaging and supportive. The management are extremely efficient, knowledgeable and excellent communicators. I am very pleased with the range and level of activities organised, baking, painting. singing etc. There are 2 superb events organised each year where children and parents play an active role, baking, cooking or making costumes. Children play outdoors every day (unless terrible weather) and there are great toys and activities from cars to a mud kitchen to a fairy garden.

Entering our 5th year of using Kingsmead, our children love it. They have gone through a year of changes in staff but it has had no effect on the day to day running or care of the children. The garden and outdoor area must be the envy of other nurseries. A recent introduction of "Golden Tickets" has been very positive, teaching the children about rules and encouraging positive behaviour. Old and new staff appear to build strong bonds with the children and are very supportive of their additional needs. I will be upset when we leave next August, I feel Kingsmead has been a major part of our children's younger years and it will be sad not to be part of the nursery community anymore.

Kingsmead has always been great ever since my son joined in 2014, they take the time to get to know him and us easily adapting to him growing up and liking different things. They are so helpful with potty training and took the worry away about sending him to nursery without nappies. All the staff are friendly, polite and always happy to help.
