Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Nursery and Pre-school Reviews (16)
Over all time Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Nursery and Pre-school has 16 reviews.
My little one has been at this nursery since she was 9 months old and she has always loved every day here! The staff are so engaging with her and she has learnt so much from everyone. They spend lots of time outside which was a deciding factor for us when choosing a nursery! She also comes home covered in paint/pen most days which doesn’t bother me one bit because I know she’s been having the best time!
Kiddiwinks is the most amazing nursery. We tried a childminder for our 2-year-old and it was so traumatic for us all, she always sobbed when dropped off and looked unhappy in all the photos we saw. We decided to try Kiddiwinks instead and I'm so glad we did. Our daughter settled in so quickly thanks to their settling sessions, which they allowed to go at her pace and ours. Then she had the most wonderful keyworker who she chatted about all the time. Now she has moved up to the 'bigs' room and is making friends. She runs in happily every morning. Life has been transformed for us knowing that she is happy and well cared for in the day so we can work. The staff are affectionate and warm, they teach the children to treat each other with respect and kindness and there is such an amazing variety of activities. I cannot recommend this highly enough and feel really lucky to have found this wonderful nursery.
Her key worker is wonderful, she knows my child inside out and takes such care to know her as an individual and recognise her likes and dislikes. She is so warm, welcoming and clearly passionate about enriching children's lives too. In fact, the whole team is passionate, community-minded, and their imagination for the activities the kids get up to every day have blown us away. The atmosphere, the organisation, the communication, the exploratory learning and the way my little one is respected for who she is... it's all fantastic. Honestly, it just feels so nice to have these awesome people in my child's life, such a family vibe!
Kiddywinks were so supportive when my daughter's younger sister arrived earlier this year too and helped her enormously. I really do believe my daughter's place here is helping her thrive!
Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Nursery and Pre-school is more than just childcare for us, they are friends and they feel like family. The level of care and compassion for my children is higher than anywhere else I've experienced and as a parent I feel fully supported by them too. The staff are wonderful, so kind, welcoming and they love the children like their own. The setting is beautiful and there always seems to be new developments and areas being created and improved. The outside space is amazing! We love the Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Nursery and Pre-school ethos and it suits our family and lifestyle perfectly. The children, pre Covid-19 are mixed together in all ages which was another bonus for us as we believe it's great for their social development. We've noticed a real boost in our son's confidence and independence since attending the setting since September, he asks to go every day, which I think says it all!
We love having you part of the Kiddywinks family, thank you so much for your lovely review.
My daughter absolutely loves her nursery! She runs to the door every time and doesn't even think to say goodbye to me. She never cried! She even reluctantly goes home sometimes. As a mother, this is all I need to know that Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Nursery and Pre-school is the right nursery for my child. I have no doubt they will provide a safe and enriched environment for any child so that the child will be as happy as mine. The ladies are awesome and very supportive toward us as parents. Cannot recommend this place enough.
Thank you for taking the time to publish such a lovely review.
Their ethos is wonderful for children; free play and exploration! My oldest girl loves it there! She hates being home hah!
Best nursery around would most definitely recommend to other parents!
Both me and my three year old love this nursery. They have lots of open space while still giving plenty of activities and invitations to play around their settings. They have two amazing gardens and do outdoor play and activities as often as they can. My daughter started there very shy and quiet around other children, now she is extremely friendly, loves all of her friends and all of the ladies there. She enjoys all aspects of the nursery and has asked to go more days! They do lots of different activities and are always busy learning new things, I couldn't recommend this nursery enough and I have to numerous people. Everyone here is lovely and are always happy and welcoming. They keep me informed and I particularly like that we get written updates about the children's day in their own books. If I could keep my daughter at this nursery longer, I would. They have a great style of learning and love for each of the children that attend.
My child has been at Kiddywinks Nieghbourhood Nursery and Pre-school for nearly two years and we have always been really pleased with the level of care they provide. The staff are professional but also very friendly and caring. I always know that my child will have a fun day when he attends and he has developed well in all areas since he started. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery, in fact I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Nursery ren't just my child care provider, they are family. They support and adore each and every child. They are so helpful and always there when we need them. Through both my children attending I cannot recommend them enough. My children love all the outdoor time they get and all the fun things they do at Kiddywinks. My son loves all the staff and has progressed so much since he started there.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words, we aim to create the feeling of family so for you to feel that warms our hearts.
The ethos is so different, special and unique, I couldn't imagine a different setting for my little one!
All the staff are so loving and friendly and have made my daughter feel cared for and safe from the very start. They are so good at building good relationships with the parents, I really feel like I can trust the whole team. Their ethos and learning styles are natural and imaginative. They are very conscious of the environment and encourage outdoor play and for children to express themselves. My daughter is so confident around other people and happy to be handed over to the nursery every time she goes. She even gets excited before we even get in! It's made the daunting decision of placing my child in the care of others a pleasant and smooth transition, I only wish I could join in the fun and stay with her!
No other nursery has a better outside space locally in my opinion, its a great garden with so much to do and its always open so children play wherever they choose. The focus is on the children and how they want it to be, which allows them to grow and learn through doing what interests them and being at ease with their surroundings. We're very happy that our two children spent time here growing up. Thanks!!
I would highly recommend Kiddywinks nursery, my son attended this nursery until he started the school nursery and now my youngest daughter who is two goes here, the time, dedication and attention to detail regarding each child is above and beyond exceptional, my daughter is always learning new things, eating a wide variety of healthy meals and snacks and always comes away very happy. The staff are very attentive and easy to get along with and also make you feel very welcome. Kiddywinks is not just a nursery it’s one big family, my children have come on so much since attending this nursery, and I am proud to say that we love it here, all the children are so well looked after and the staff really do go above and beyond. Kiddywinks is something a little bit different and that’s what makes it stand out against other nursery settings.
The staff have been brilliant at communicating about my child's day and always have something positive to say.
This is a fantastic setting and my son loves it.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff are fantastic! Communication is great, I feel totally up to date all the time. I love that my daughter has constant access to an amazing outside space and a hot lunch in her belly. My little girl goes off in the morning happy and excited to be at nursery, so I couldn't ask for more!
The way Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Nursery and Pre-school works is different from other nurseries. They don't separate their age groups, as they say, they try to achieve a home from home atmosphere which we feel as soon as you walk in. The staff pride themselves on building a bond with their Kiddylinks which you can see with how much they care and love all the children. I am so grateful to all of the staff as my daughter is so confident and fun loving which is down to the staff allowing her to learn through play and giving her the best experiences that just aren't available to her at home. The garden is one of the things that I personally love as we don't really have one at home and I love being able to watch her play, explore, run ,climb, build, take risks in a safe environment,play in water, and create memories with her friends. Thank you from the bottom of my heart as going back to work is the hardest thing to do after having a baby and I am proud to say we are part of the Kiddywinks family and we love you all ! Xxxxx
