Review from W B (Father of Child) published on 16 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child really enjoys going to nursery at King's and loves the varied activities each day. My child has made lots of friends and constantly talks about them and what they have got up to.
The staff are always friendly and provide daily updates both in the personalised book or at drop off and pickups.
The staff have also supported us recently in transitioning my child away from nappies which has been great.

Thank you

Review from Lydia B (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

There won't be many schools where you see children running in smiling and ready for a full day, then at the end of the day not wanting to leave. My son absolutely loves King's and is thriving in the environment. He is always so proud to come home and tell me what he has learnt in the day and happy to practise it at home. My son has made some lovely friends and lucky to spend time with them at the weekends too. The school is very attentive to a child's needs and also involves the parents in lots of the steps and helps us understand the tools used to teach them as well. I honestly couldn't think of a better school to send him to and I'm grateful we got the spot for him. Thank you King's.

Review from Rachel F (Mother of Child) published on 17 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are very attentive and friendly. That goes beyond nursery staff too and includes staff we see around on the grounds, always willing to greet us etc.
On the whole our nursery experience has been positive for us.
A couple of small things could help improve it more:
1) Please could nursery staff be reminded to pull out the nappy frills when changing nappies- it’ll stop leaks when we get home.
2) Could the food offered be a bit healthier? Cakes and chocolate aren’t something we’ve introduced to our child at home, we were surprised this is offered so often at nursery, especially when they are babies still. Not so much of a problem now but when younger I was surprised to see this offered when we had a no or low sugar rule at home and still do not give our child chocolate. This is something my mum friends have mentioned to me about the nursery menu.

Otherwise, we are very happy with the nursery. Especially the day routine and play and creativity encouraged.

Reply from Marcus Batten, Registrar at King's School & Nursery

Overall Experience
My daughter has been at King's Nursery since she was 9 months old and I have been so happy with all the care and effort they all put into her development.
Every member of staff is a credit to the younger years as they always go that extra mile to support.

I like that it has a structured day along with making it fun and the excellent communication, she always came home smiling and made my life easy knowing she is in a safe happy environment due to all the staff.

Review from Lucy L (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little girl started King's at 9 months and has been there for nearly a year. They really do care, the first month was difficult as I was learning a new routine but she absolutely loves her nursery. We get photos and videos during my day which really does put a smile on my face at work. We have a daily diary so I get all the information on sleep, activities etc. I love the little gifts and artwork she brings home.

I know King's is the right nursery as my little girl loves being there plus she always sleeps really well on nursery days.

Review from Emma R (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

King's Nursery is a little gem. My daughter has settled in so well with all staff working hard to ensure she is safe, active and enjoying her time there. She has grown in confidence, independence and ability and is always happy to go to nursery with the biggest smile on her face. The facilities are great, with 4 lovely outdoor spaces available to the children along with fun yet educational toys and activities. I couldn't ask for a better nursery and start for my daughter.

Overall Experience

I have been well and truly blown away by the staff at King's since my daughter started nursery earlier this year. Not only did they meet my expectations of what a nursery should be like they go above and beyond to the point it feels like I'm leaving her with friends. My daughter has learnt so much so fast and I'm amazed by her speech and understanding she adores the staff and open talks about them at home. I cannot praise them enough for making a nervous mum feels totally at ease leaving my baby in their care.

Overall Experience
I had a phone call saying my child had fallen asleep at 3pm. The keyworker asked me how long I would like my child to sleep for!
My previous childcare would have let my child sleep until they wanted which would result in a sleepless night.

I appreciated the call and the care taken. I am very happy.

Overall Experience

King’s is a lovely nursery with caring and approachable staff. Our daughter has settled in so well and very quickly and that’s all down to the staff who care for her. They have been supportive from the start and always ensure she has a fun filled and exciting day with a wide variety of activities indoors and outdoors.

King's Nursery is absolutely excellent.
Both my children have loved their time at King's. They are very well looked after in a gentle and loving environment.

I feel completely reassured leaving my children for the day knowing they are happy and appropriately stimulated.
