Review from N T (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started with Alphabet House in Oct 2021 at 10 months old. The staff were fantastic at helping him to settle in, with the same people each day he quickly became familiar, comfortable, and happy to go to them each morning. We had one occasion where he was under the weather and I needed to fetch him but it was over an hour before I could get there. The team were amazing, reassuring me and looking after him as if he were their own until I got there. Couldn’t recommend them anymore.

Review from Bethan N (Mother of Child) published on 31 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot thank the staff in the baby room at Alphabet House enough for making my daughter's first month at nursery so amazing! Even though she’s missed a few days of nursery due to illness she has come on so much in this time and settled in so well. I love that all members of staff take the time to talk you through the day on pick up so you get an insight into what they’ve been doing/eating etc and for a first-time-mum who’s had massive ‘mum guilt’ about sending their 1-year-old to nursery this has been so helpful. A special mention to several members of staff, in particular, you’re all so lovely! Thank you Alphabet House!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Alphabet House for the last 5 months since she started at 8 months of age. We’ve been so impressed with the nursery, in particular, the staff have been great. Not only at making our daughter’s time at nursery fun and rewarding but also at reassuring us as parents that she’s in safe hands and they genuinely care about her.

Overall Experience

I have 2 children at Alphabet House and they both started attending from about 7 months. It's been so nice to watch my eldest progress through the rooms and develop. All of the staff are so friendly and you can tell they care about the children. They plan different activities for each day and I really enjoy looking at the photos on the online learning portal. Nothing is too much trouble and they cater for my children's individual needs.

Overall Experience

The staff are outstanding and make every day varied and fun for my child. He has developed so quickly since he started attending this nursery. The food is healthy and varied, and the children are encouraged to make their own choices by self serving food (at an appropriate age). Communication from the staff caring for my son each day is fantastic. This also applies to any communication with the manager, with quick replies to any queries. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

Overall Experience
Alphabet House is a great setting. The staff, from the management down, are all brilliant. They provide a warm, caring and stimulating environment, and it is clear that the children thoroughly enjoy themselves whilst there.
My eldest is particularly shy, and they spent lots of time getting him comfortable at nursery and really tailored their approach to changes etc, knowing his particular needs.

We always had confidence our boys were in safe, capable hands here, which was very reassuring. Thank you, Alphabet House.

Overall Experience

My daughter has just started at Alphabet House in Lowdham, I was really worried about how she would settle in due to being a lockdown baby and not been socialised much. But the staff at Alphabet House were lovely. They put us all at ease and made the transition so easy. My daughter absolutely loves it there and has seemed to settle in beautifully. The staff in the baby room have been so good at meeting her needs and send lovely photos on the app, so I can see how she’s getting on. I would recommend anyone who is looking for childcare to contact Alphabet House. It’s perfect.

Both my children have attended Alphabet House Day Nursery since they were 8 months old and during this time we have had nothing but praise for the staff and nursery setting. The staff are amazing and are so accommodating to each individual child’s needs, development and personality and also very flexible to meet our needs as parents. Thank you for all you do.

This is a lovely nursery, it’s so cosy and every detail of the setting is thought through to get the best out of the children. All the staff are friendly and make you feel like your child is the only child. I’d recommend this place in a heartbeat and my little girl has absolutely thrived.

Overall Experience
The manager and the team are great. My son loves going to nursery and I feel he gets so much out of his time there.
His key worker in the baby room is great and he always has a huge smile on his face as soon as he sees her.

My work schedule often changes and the nursery is always very accommodating.

My son started the nursery in June and has come on in leaps and bounds with his learning and communication. He really enjoys playing with the other children and staff, and they always give him a warm welcome when he arrives.
The staff are friendly and very helpful.

I would definitely recommend the nursery.

Review from Julia K (Mother of Child) published on 13 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started at Alphabet House when he was just 3-months-old and I cannot speak highly enough of how the whole team there made both him and I feel welcomed and safe in a homely family environment, especially given his young age.
Every member of staff has such a genuine love for what they do and a personal connection to the children.
Their handling of the uncertain and unpredictable time we are currently navigating with coronavirus has been both calm and strategic - always keeping the health and well-being of the children, their families and the staff at the forefront of all decisions.
Being a new mum and having not come from a family who use the services of a nursery, I was unsure what to expect. But Alphabet House have superseded every expectation that I had and in a relatively short space of time really feel like an extension of our family.

Thank you so much to the Alphabet House team!

Overall Experience
My son started nursery in February and settled in really well straight away, the staff was great with reassurance and shown me lots of photos of him playing. Lots of different activities out for my son to explore, from painting, pretend play, storytime, outdoor play. After my son had an unsettling time at a different setting it was brilliant to see him so happy, interacting and talking lots and really being himself.

The staff and nursery are brilliant and I thank them for being so great especially with a nervous mum.

Overall Experience

We are really pleased our son goes to Alphabet House Lowdham. The staff are friendly and genuinely interested in the children. At 20-months, my son knows all the staff by name, gets excited to see them and toddles in without looking back. The different activities they put on are great, I especially like "home corner", the small wooden kitchen where the children play and learn about kitchen safety. The variety of food the kids eat is excellent. We are very grateful they remained open to key workers during the Covid-19 pandemic, as key workers, our son continued to attend. All the staff were great in giving clear information, creating a warm, safe and happy place for the kids and were very fair in how they billed parents.

Review from Jordan B (Father of Child) published on 12 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have two children that have attended Alphabet House Nursery since January 2019. In all areas of the nursery, we have had nothing but good experiences, with both the staff and management. Whilst drop-offs can be challenging with my two, staff have always been quick to update me on how my children are getting on, which is very reassuring. During the COVID pandemic and as a key worker, my children have had to remain in the nursery. I'd like to add that during this time the manager and her team, that have remained at work have all been exceptional. The messages about the guidelines and expectations around protecting the children from COVID have been clear and given me full reassurance. I will and have recommended this nursery without hesitation.

Amazing welcome back for my daughter post COVID-19. All the staff have adapted beautifully, they are happy, positive, encouraging and make everything feel as normal as possible for the little ones. My daughter can’t wait to get there each morning. Don’t be afraid to send your children back, Alphabet House have got it covered.

Overall Experience

Alphabet House in Lowdham is an exceptional nursery. Both of my children attend, one child is in the baby room and the other is in the preschool room. The nursery staff are exceptionally kind and caring. The management team are excellent and engage the parents at every possibility. The staff genuinely care about the wellbeing and development of the children. My children are so happy in the nursery and love going each day. It would be nice if the nursery had a bit more outside space but the nursery do an excellent job if taking the children out into the village and they have some gardening space outside of the main play area.

Kelly Bell

Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm the nursery manager here at Kindred Lowdham.

I decided to begin my career in childcare after helping out as a parent at my son’s nursery, and I saw the rewards of working with children.

I now have over 20 years’ experience, as well as a Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management and qualifications covering first aid, food hygiene and child protection.

Most importantly, I have a passion for helping children develop and having worked my way up from a nursery practitioner, I now manage a thriving nursery with happy children and caring staff.
