Kenwood Day Nursery Stretford

undertaken a cellar conversion to almost double the space in the nursery and have created a lovely new activity room. They also spend as much time as possible outside in the garden and take the children out on walks to nearby Longford Park or further afield when they can which both my boys found really exciting. The staff are so caring and dedicated - we can't thank them enough for looking after our boys over the last 5 years

base our decision nor any friends who could make personal recommendations. However, we haven't once doubted our decision. Our son has been so happy there - hardly a glance over his shoulder when we drop him off in the mornings! We're in the process of moving to a different part of the country and one of the hardest parts of the whole move is knowing he won't be going to Kenwood any more.
Thanks to the whole team for such wonderful care and support.

of mind leaving him, knowing he'd be so well looked after. The atmosphere was one of fun and laughter and there was always great communication about what he'd got up to and how he was progressing. Thank you so much.

into confident little kids.
Highly recommend Kenwood to anyone thinking of sending their little ones there.

updates on your child’s progress via an online app, so you can see pictures of activities they do in the day, which I loved.
The staff are amazing, really well trained and qualified and my child adored her key workers and they adored her. There’s a really low staff turn over - only a couple moved during our time with Kenwood, so you know them and they all know your child.
The outdoor space is smaller than other larger nurseries, but it’s more than enough for the small number of children at Kenwood.
The home-cooked food and snacks are nutritious and varied every day, which is great.
Overall our experience of Kenwood was extremely positive and my child loved going there.

follow through with, both my kids have thrived here. It’s a well-kept secret (nursery) within Chorlton/Stretford and we were very lucky enough to find them. Make sure you sign up early as spaces are limited. But rest assured if you get in, your kids will be looked after above and beyond your expectations.

there are lovely and seem to have been there a long time - one member of staff, in particular, seems to have a real bond with my daughter and still pops in to see her now she's in the 'big room'. It's such a small nursery so you feel like they really know your child, and have a genuine affection for them. My son still loves going in and saying hello when we pick up his sister. The food is home cooked and nutritious and my kids loved/love it. They also do nice things like hatch out eggs (ducklings this year), caterpillars, frogs etc and go on trips to the local park. I feel really lucky that both my kids have had a chance to go there.

in him after a month being in nursery. Confidence and language development soared as you could tell he was happy in his new environment.

The older and younger children socialise together at various points in the day and I think this helped prepare my son for being around his new sister when she arrived. The nursery was fabulous at getting him ready for being an older sibling and dealing with that change.

The staff at Kenwood are fantastic at what they do and if I had any questions relating to my children they would be only too happy to help. I felt like parents and the staff work together as a team to care for the children.

on the early year's development in preparation for school, but with an emphasis on play.
Highly recommend this nursery!

As this is a small nursery all the staff know all the children in each group and form close bonds and it is almost like a little family. There are daily updates given at the end of the day letting parents know what food they have eaten, nap times, nappy changes, which is really useful. We are kept up to date with a private Facebook group, showing pictures of what they have got up to, which really makes me happy to see. My children both settled into Kenwood brilliantly, have thrived and enjoyed their time there. I would have no hesitation recommending Kenwood to anyone interested in the nursery.

food provided and how content they are when at the nursery. It is a smaller nursery which was important to me as I wanted somewhere that felt home from home.

with lots of messy/wet play. The outside space is a really good all-weather area which means they really do go outside every day. I would happily recommend it to anyone.

two in the school system Kenwood also sets the children up well for school. My daughters are doing extremely well in attention, learning, imagination, numeracy and reading and writing. Also, I found toilet training quite stress free but again this was largely due to the nursery staff! It’s a small nursery so has a nice ‘homely’ feel. There is minimal staff turnover (odd changes mostly for maternity covers). Also, the staff arrange a special leavers day out for children which was probably the girls first independent adventure and they both sleep with their leavers photo with their nursery friends by their bed!

and keep us up to date with what they're doing with daily forms and photos.

suit the needs of the child. Communications are great through the use of daily sheets for the younger ones, and of course, face to face contact each day. The nursery provides lots of fun and engaging activities for the children which help development and promote independence. We are looking forward to the Christmas party coming up. Kenwood provides a great start to education.
