Both of my children have been very happy at Activeplay nursery. The staff have been great with them, really getting to know them and helping them to grow. They get a lovely cooked meal each day for lunch which they have both enjoyed and a nice garden space to play in.

Review from Megan C (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to active play for nearly 2 years, starting in the baby room and now moving up to pre school. She has grown so much and learnt so many new things whilst being there. All the staff are so lovely and all know and treat her as if she is their own, they are her best friends and she runs in every morning to see them. She has her key worker that knows her so well and they have the best relationship. I highly recommend Activeplay and trust them with looking after my baby. Thank you!

Review from Parris A (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would highly recommend Activeplay to any parent / carer looking for a nursery. My child has absolutely thrived in this setting and that is thanks to the staff who have tailored their approach to her needs and individual personality. When she started she had separation issues and I was worried I wouldn't be able to go back to work, but they worked with her and myself and now she is excited to go into nursery.

The staff are all incredible and seeing how happy my child is at Active Play is amazing!

Review from Sarah W (Mother of Child) published on 20 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff at Activeplay are fantastic. I've worked in nurseries myself and this is the second nursery my twins have been to and this is by far the best nursery in Sittingbourne. The manager is just brilliant and the staff have been excellent not only settling my twins, helping with transition, potty training, creating strong lasting bonds and keeping them highly entertained and helping improve their learning daily. I recommend them to everyone. All the staff are fantastic and friendly. My niece and nephew still remember their time there and staff from 5 and 13 years ago!

Review from Rodica B (Mother of Child) published on 8 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

At first, I was a little worried because my child didn't speak English. The first 2 months were a little difficult with her settling but because of the friendly, supportive and caring staff she became happy at nursery, she started speaking English, and she was developing skills. She learns a lot thanks to all the staff. Food was good, my daughter ate almost all from the plate every time. The inside is clean. Very happy mum and daughter!

Overall Experience
My little boy has just graduated from Activeplay nursery and is now going to big school, he has been attending for 2 years and comes home every day with a smile on his face having an amazing day. The staff are lovely, informative, caring and overall outstanding. I can not recommend them enough, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my children with anyone else. They are excellent!

Thank you for all you have done for my child.

Review from Abbi J (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

In October 2023, my son started attending Active Play Nursery. As a parent, it can be a worrisome time when searching for the right nursery for your little one and entrusting their care to someone else. However, I can confidently say that I have no concerns about leaving my little boy in Active Play's care. He absolutely loves going to nursery and gets excited every time. As a parent, that's all I could ask for - to see him happy and eager to go. The staff members at Active Play are incredibly caring and always strive to help with his progress. They make sure that I, as a parent, am satisfied with what they are doing. They provide a wide range of activities for the children, which has helped my son develop so much. I am truly grateful that my son attends Active Play Nursery, and I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff members for their dedication and hard work.

Review from Katie K (Mother of Child) published on 1 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child very much enjoys his time at nursery and has bonded well with many of the carers. It is a great comfort to feel that he is in a happy and safe environment. In the last year, he has developed very good social skills, improved with speech, general knowledge, and recognition. He was even potty trained alongside the support of the nursery team. It is always lovely when he comes home with small arts and craft gifts, especially for occasional days such as Mother's Day. I know that he really enjoys art projects and messy play! The communication from staff and management is always very friendly, prompt, and clear. I am glad that in recent months they also decided to go electronic with their billing system, much improved. I would certainly recommend this nursery.

My kids all seemed to settle well at the nursery. The carers seem nice too and my kids bonded very well with them. I get detailed feedback about my kids' welfare throughout their daily stay at the nursery. They are hands-on with answering any queries I may have.

Review from Sarah J (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Activeplay is such an amazing nursery. My daughter (who is now 5) went when she was 2 until school-aged and absolutely loved it there. I now have a 6-month-old boy who now goes and has done since he was 4 months. The ladies that work there always make time to discuss what’s been going on and treat us like family, especially as my daughter went a couple of years ago. The online journal is updated daily with what he’s had to eat, how much milk he’s had etc, and then gets weekly updates with pictures of what he’s been up to.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery, amazing staff! Wouldn't send my children to any other nursery. They were amazing during covid times and I always felt safe! I currently have twins attending and they have helped them develop so much one of my girls barely spoke when she started now she barely stops! They were amazing when they were first settling in and now they wave goodbye and say, bye mum! It's so nice that even they feel safe there! 5-star nursery by all means!

Overall Experience

My child had been to Activeplay since she was a year old, she had a heart condition which put her a little behind in life and not very trusting of people. But the staff were great with her she loved going and soon started to catch up. She often asks to go to nursery for the day during lockdown.
