Review from Rachel M (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

There is a strong educational element to this nursery which has benefited my kids enormously. They're learning so much here - songs, language development, maths, social skills, etc. The staff are really dedicated to making each day fun, interesting and varied. They keep you informed as to what they're doing and take time to celebrate special events (the preschoolers had a carol concert, for example, which obviously took a lot of effort and was wonderful to watch). The food is tasty and healthy, the place is always clean, and the staff do a great job running the nursery. They're friendly, professional, obviously dedicated to the kids, and always willing to talk to parents about any additional needs or special circumstances (they've helped me out a couple of times). My children are thriving!

Overall Experience

My sons have attended Kidsunlimited Didsbury for 5 years between them. They ask everyday if its a "nursery day". They are greeted each day with a smile from the friendly staff team! I would recommend the nursery to any parent in the Didsbury area.

Overall Experience

MY child is now in the Toddler Room, and started when she was 6 months old. The care she has received has been amazing. Staff are dedicated, kind and passionate about their work. My child's needs have been met fully, and my expectations blown away. The staff go above and beyond every day. I have just registered my second child due in January as I know spaces are limited. The food is of high standards, all the staff from the house keeper - to chef- to nursery nurses - the the management, are excellent. Thank you Kidsunlimited Didsbury!

Review from Deb S (Grandmother of Child) published on 15 October 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My granddaughter attend Kidsunlimited Didsbury as part of the back up care service provided. We needed a few days emergency care.
She attended Preschool for 3 days and loved her time there.
On picking her up there was always plenty of activities going on and play outside in the garden.
We would certainly recommend the back up emergency care it was so easy to book in without any long term contracts.

The staff were helpful and friendly, parking was easy in the car park outside. The only issue we had was my granddaughter never wanted to come home.

Review from Laura F (Mother of Child) published on 14 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We chose kidsunlimited in Didsbury due to the closeness of my work and recommendations from friends. Our son has quite a few dietary requirements (egg allergy, lactose intolerance) but he is properly catered for and eats a variety of different foods. The staff are lovely and there are no worries or issues when dropping him off in a morning. Our son goes to nursery 2 full days a week and we feel due to this environment, his development has progressed quickly. We would definitely recommend kidsunlimited Didsbury.

A very good nursery, very happy with the staff and food. Very clean. My little one loves it here. A bit on the expensive side though.

Overall Experience

This is my second child that has been to Kidsunlimited Didsbury. During the time that they have both been at nursery we have been made to feel very welcome. The boys have come on in leaps and bounds. The staff take the time to listen and take a genuine interest in your child. I would recommend kidsunlimited to any parent.

Overall Experience

I LOVE THIS NURSERY. My daughter is in preschool at Didsbury, she has been through every room from baby 1 all the way through to preschool. The care and attention from every single member of staff is incredible, each and every one of them from management to housekeeping have been dedicated to the welfare and development of my little girl for the past two and a half years. They all have a smile and a warm welcome when you arrive at drop off. The management team are very happy to help in anyway they can and whatever your question or query is everyone strives to help you.

Overall Experience

My child loves coming to this nursery. The staff are all so lovely, it's nice that my child has such a good bond with the staff in the room. My child even asks to come at the weekend! My child needs additional support with eating and the staff have done enough to aid this as my child has really come along with this since attending nursery.

Review from Akeela H (Mother of Child) published on 29 September 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

During summer time and inset days both my girls attend Kidsunlimited Day Nursery. The welcome is warm and they are encouraged to take part in activities making them inclusive and feel part of the nursery. The activities are extended further for them to meet their age level. Outdoor activities were wonderful and my daughters didn't stop talking about what they did during the day. The nursery took into account their diet personal interests and choice of activities. They were encouraged to join in and play independently too, enjoyed exploring in the home corner with real fruits and vegetables which they loved. Would definitely recommend it to all worth every penny.
