Our daughter has been attending Kids Inc. in Bluewater since a few days after her first birthday. We could not choose a better nursery for our girl. She loves nursery, she looks forward to it and loves the staff in her room. The staff genuinely care about the children they look after and the activities
tie in with the EYFS and we get updates on the app. They play outside every day, and she comes home every day having learned something new. Price is quite high but she gets three healthy meals and two snacks a day and the only thing we need to supply is nappies and wipes. Would recommend Kids Inc. to anyone!

My third child has recently started at Kids Inc, Bluewater and has settled extremely well. It is very comforting knowing that he is left in safe hands and lovely that the same staff members that looked after my two eldest children, are now looking after him too!
The management are very friendly and
always helpful! Five-star review and I would have no doubt in recommending Kids Inc, Bluewater, to anyone looking for childcare.

Kids Inc Bluewater is great, our son loves it. The staff are so warm and supportive with the children, and always ready to give them a hug.
Our son was scared of something outside in the nursery garden and his key worker took the time to understand his fear and help him resolve it - in no time he was
back outside with a smile on his face.
I feel confident that the nursery is setting my son up ready to start school next year.

I am very satisfied with the service at this nursery. My daughter loves it here and more importantly I feel that all staff have a genuine love and care for all the kids they look after.
No place is perfect but they are professional and I have no complaints.

I've always been so happy with the way both my son and daughter are cared for at Bluewater. The staff are amazing and show great care and affection. You are always greeted with a smile and nothing is ever too much trouble.
All of the management are assets to the company and are always on the ball.
I couldn't recommend this place anymore to people as they've made the whole process of nursery an overall great experience for both of my children and us. There always so happy to go.
Thank you for taking such good care of them.

Amazing nursery! The staff are so welcoming and friendly in all the rooms and at the reception! My child is very happy there. Very clean and looked after. Home from home. Every morning there are different trays set up in each room with something new to explore each day which is excellent. Great location,
whether you drive or get the bus. Overall a really lovely nursery.

The manager and the team at Bluewater were amazing with my eldest daughter.
She started at 15 months, back in 2018, through to pre-school and had so much confidence from being there, she also had wonderful relationships with all her key workers. She was always happy that we had no doubts about sending
our youngest daughter there, she started at 5 months old and we felt extremely relaxed about her starting so young, again she is very happy and flourishing being in their care. Thank-you girls.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children have attended Kids Inc. My daughter who is now 7 and in year 2 at school started at 9 months and loved her time there, she never wanted to come home each day! Through the nursery alone she developed a passion for reading and writing and left well prepared for school and academically
well ahead for her years. My 2-year-old son attends Kids Inc now and has done so since 9 months old too. He is happy and developing very well through learning at nursery. The team were very supportive through his early months there when he experienced many food allergies. They worked with me to get to the bottom of them, helped manage his diet and showed concern for making sure he was getting enough protein in to which they were accommodating. Overall, we've been extremely pleased with the nursery and highly recommend it. The staff are all very warm and friendly and the management team are brilliant.

Absolutely chuffed with our babies progress and happiness since joining Kids Inc
Everyone of the staff are fantastic and the team really helped our baby settle in.
She's now moved onto a new room and loving the step up in activities and engaging with her new carers. They all seem awesome too and I
look forward to seeing her develop over time as she grows alongside her journey through the Kids Inc age ranges.

Since our son has started I have nothing but good things to say about this nursery.
The staff are amazing, they been nothing but supportive of our son who finds it difficult at times with social interaction.
All staff are so friendly and welcoming and this has been the case since the day we looked
around.
I am so thankful and grateful to all the staff and I am so pleased that we found this nursery.
My son is developing so much already and it's thanks to the staff.

My son attended the Bluewater branch for 11 months. He started at 2 and a half years old and left at 3 and a half years old.
Whilst there were some issues with a temporary management team and a particularly uninterested manager, (who has now left) the rest of the staff were amazing. Two members of
staff in particular. My son has now transferred to another branch and we are so grateful to the Bluewater staff for their attentive care of him. Staff are fantastic as well as part of the management team. The outdoor space is a little small and there are no outings but honestly, I cannot fault the care. My little boy has left after being so loved and still talks about staff every day. The location is fantastic too. I cannot express how warm and loving the staff are. We have gone through grasshoppers, ladybirds and butterflies and each room has exuded warmth and the sound of contented children. My son is very verbal and chatty and has no qualms about saying when he is upset - and he never has been.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is non-verbal and has been attending the nursery since 2020. He struggled to begin with and required a lot of reassurance, but the staff were fantastic in providing us both the support we needed and very quickly he began to not look back on drop offs he loved it there so much! He has been exposed
to a variety of activities, foods and play-all of which have been key in his development. He also has a fantastic SENCO specialist who has guided us through the process of referrals for various additional support for his personal development and prep for primary school. All the staff know him and myself by name and the nursery as a whole has a lovely personal approach to all the children who attend; catering to each individual need with ease. I cannot recommend this nursery enough and they have given my son the support and foundation he needs to be ready for the jump to primary school in September.

My son has attended Kids Inc Bluewater since he was 9 months old and he has just turned 3. All the staff are fantastic I know he is safe and well cared for, he loves taking in a different teddy/toy every day, nothing is too much to help him be settled.
Any concerns, however small, are addressed. Don’t
let the lack of outdoor space put you off, kids see things differently and when they are digging in the sand and riding the bikes/scooters with their friends they are having great fun.
The messy play is amazing - my son's favourite (which can stay at school) he experiences things he wouldn’t at home and he just has the best time whilst learning without even realising!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is really good, we have a good relationship with the staff who are always helpful and tell us all about our little ones’ day at every pickup, as well as having a diary with all the information regarding nappy changes, food, drinks and what they’ve been up to on that day. They upload some
pictures on the parent app every week and we feel our son has made friends and enjoys going there. There was a settling period where he seemed to be catching all the viruses around which is quite common but once his immune system had strengthened a little it was all good. There are parent's evenings to discuss development and they are always telling us what they are working on (speech, taking turns, motor skills) which is reassuring. I would definitely recommend this nursery to friends.

Our child has been coming to Kids Inc since April 2022 and we cannot thank the staff enough for help settling him in. He cries every morning (still) but the staff are so patient and have helped him adjust to nursery life. His speech and development have come on leaps and bounds since starting and he
is excited to tell us about his day when he comes home. We feel confident leaving our son there and comfortable that he is in safe hands.

My younger son is non-verbal and the staff at the nursery have been so supportive in helping us do the speech and language referral. I would not have known where to start! Not only have they helped us with the referral but they have given us, as a family, so much support with how to deal with this sort
of thing. Every healthcare professional I have spoken to has been surprised at the amount of support the nursery has given us. I could not recommend them enough. They also gave my older son a great start in his education.
A fabulous nursery - 5 stars.

Current Review Score: 7.6 (7.630)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.6 (7.630) out of 10 for Kids Inc Day Nursery - Bluewater is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.0 out of 5 from 1 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 4.583 for Kids Inc Day Nursery - Bluewater is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.583
  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 3.047 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Inc Day Nursery - Bluewater is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 106 number of registered child places is 21.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.2 = 0.047
  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.
