Review from Emily H (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The nursery has been wonderful for our child. The whole team are so caring, kind and supportive and from the moment we arrive each day there is such a welcoming feel from everyone we see. It seems like everybody there knows our child and this is not really reassuring for us but means he is happy and confident there every day. The range of activities on offer is excellent - there are lots of trips out and the resources used are all excellent quality too. There is also no sign of a fussy eater when our child is there, he eats a brilliant range of versatile, hearty and diverse meals which is great! We couldn't be more happy with our experience here!

Overall Experience

All the staff I have been in contact with have been knowledgeable, professional, friendly and very approachable. If ever I have any concerns, they are dealt with efficiently. I would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone thinking about putting their children here. They are safe, cared for and treated as individuals.

Review from B B (Father of Child) published on 14 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery is extremely good in a number of ways, but still with room for improvement considering the price you pay. Our daughter loves going here and she is hugely supported by the staff. Her key worker is fantastic, understands our child inside out and is extremely good with her. Her development has come on leaps and bounds. The nursery is good, with lovely rooms and the staff put a lot of effort into activities and play. In the summer in particular the children are taken out on day trips weekly and the staff do their best with the limited budgets they have. Overall the nursery is good, however, the price is equally extremely high comparing it to other nurseries in the area, with regular price increases still happening. Although we like the nursery a lot, for the money you pay you would expect as a minimum what they provide.

Overall Experience

My daughter has had a very happy experience at Christie Fields for the last two years. She has been well supported by all staff and made many friends. She enjoys the activities and trips. She has always made excellent progress with support from carers. She even asks to go to day care on weekends. We are very happy she attends this day care centre.

Review from Sarah P (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Well managed, happy and caring nursery. We’ve used the nursery for 4 years. Our eldest is now at school and attended from 1-4 years old. We have another 1 year old who is thriving there. We have seen the amazing improvements the manager brought in when she began her role here a year or so ago; the nursery feels like a really strong and successful place. She has created such a competent calm place to be, every day you go in the staff are enthusiastic, know your child inside out, and the experience and stability this brings has made a huge difference. My eldest went on dozens of trips when in nursery prep school this was such a lovely time for him, and having him organise these as part of his role has really enhanced the children’s experience. We trust the staff to babysit outside of their nursery job roles, as they know our children so well. The catering is great and the meals healthy and tasty, and there’s plenty for hungry eaters. There are always fruit platters in reception too!

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

My daughter has been attending the nursery for 10 months now. She settled in very easily and goes in with enthusiasm everyday. The staff are friendly, hard working and set up frequent activities to assist with her development. She has regular access to outdoor spaces and they go on regular outings too.The food is varied and nutritious. I am very happy we chose the nursery and I am confident in their ability to continue nurturing her development.

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

My daughter started in September 2023 in baby two room. I would like to share my experience of the nursery. My daughter struggled to settle in at first, as this is her first time in nursery. The staff, particularly two specific staff members, have been amazing during this time and have made such an effort and time to bond with my daughter and she is now really settled and loves coming to nursery. It puts my mind at ease every time I drop off and I couldn't be more appreciative. Thank you to all the staff.

Overall Experience

My son has settled into baby room so well, his key worker and other staff members are amazing with him. He gets so much attention, time and care. They go out for walks in the community, out in the gardens, plenty of messy play. He eats well which is another bonus as I struggled to find a decent menu at other child care providers, I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Overall Experience

I couldn’t rate this nursery highly enough. Both my sons love coming here, and the rising 3s are brilliant with both of my children. The management team have also been amazing with me and the boys. The manager is always around to say hello to the point my son even brings her flowers and runs to give her cuddles, as he’s used to seeing her.

Overall Experience

We absolutely love Kids Allowed Christie Fields! Both our children attend here (in the baby room and preschool). The whole team are wonderful; they really care about the children and are always so positive. They carry out a wide range of stimulating activities: messy play, outdoor trips and even Spanish class! We get so many lovely updates about their day and their progress. The management team are fantastic. The nursery is very flexible and lets you swap days/book extra sessions. We would highly recommend it!

Overall the service at Kids Allowed is very good. I have two children at Kids Allowed Christie Fields and feel happy with the care given to both children.

Some staff in particular go above and beyond with their care and interaction with the children, which is wonderful to see.

Review from E L (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been using Kids Allowed for over three years and both my sons currently attend. I never have any worries about my boys when they are in the nursery as I know they are so well looked after. The nursery is clean and organised with friendly staff who genuinely care about your kids. Each day is structured with different activities and a great selection of food it offered each week. The outside space for each room is a real highlight of this nursery. Recently they have started doing more trips outside which my older son loves and it really sets them up for entering primary school with confidence. I would have no reservations about recommending Kids Allowed to any parents.

Really happy with our son's nursery. All the staff are lovely and brilliant and he loves going in and taking part in all the activities. He has loads of fun getting messy and they do loads of activities to help his development too. The facilities are good too, inside and outside space and lots of areas, equipment and toys. Also brilliant that they go on little field trips sometimes to mix it up when the weather is nice.

Overall Experience

My wife and I had looked around many other local nurseries. Kids Allowed seemed so much bigger with lots of additional space and toys. I felt so at ease with the Parent Zone app being able to catch up on the daily events. I can't fault the staff they have all been so reassuring, friendly and knowledgeable.
