Review from Sarah L (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am extremely impressed with this nursery. Due to lockdown my daughter and I really hadn’t had any time apart when I was due to go back to work. She was a year old and wouldn’t settle with anyone. The perseverance and genuine attention paid to my daughter from all of the staff, and especially her key worker, was exceptional. When I picked her up her key worker was able to tell me things that she only would have known if she’s been paying really close attention. (She commented on how she nipped for comfort- and she did do this!)
I felt like my child was almost getting one to one care in a nursery setting.

There are other “flashier” nurseries in the surrounding area, but if you want a small, personalised experience for your child where they are cared for by experienced, kind and professional staff then send your child here. I highly recommend it and both my husband and myself work in education.

My son absolutely loves coming here and the staff are very approachable and kind. I am so much happier now that my son is here compared to his previous nursery! I will be very sad when he has to leave.

Fantastic nursery, my daughter loved it here, we left at the start of the pandemic to relocate with my parents back in Cumbria otherwise she would still be attending! She misses everyone there still. Would highly recommend.

Overall Experience

Our little girl has attended nursery for the last 2 years and we couldn't be happier with the care given to her. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. And they have been so supportive and flexible if we have needed extra care or to change days at the last minute.

Review from Terri M (Mother of Child) published on 9 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was very anxious about returning to work after maternity leave and sending my son to nursery. However, my son absolutely loves going to nursery. He is very excited each morning when we arrive in the car park. The staff and management team are really lovely and have been very flexible and accomodating in supporting my son alongside my work commitments. My son has a food allergy, and they are excellent in managing this. I feel that the staff are very good at communicating with each other, and nothing is ever missed! My son has developed and progressed so much in the last few months. He is such a happy little boy, and I think it's all to do with the love and support he gets at nursery when I have to be at work. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

The nursery has been very supportive in providing care to children of key workers and has helped me out numerous times regarding my work schedule by being flexible and understanding. Both my girls love nursery and I know when I pick them up they had a busy day playing, learning, and interacting with other children. Also, they always eat the nursery food which is comforting during the picky toddler stages.

Review from Deirdre G (Mother of Child) published on 24 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter loves nursery and we are so happy with everything the nursery does for her. She has been going since before she was one and now, nearly 3. The staff are fantastic and the setting is perfect, encouraging her development socially. She has started going back since a few months off over lockdown and has settled into things again very well.

Overall Experience

It really is hard to see how Kenton Park Nursery could be improved. The team are professional, trained, friendly and genuine. The experience is exceptional, developmental and fun. The catering is fresh, nutritious and global. And both of our boys have loved their time there. Thank you to the manager and the whole team.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 9 months old. She has come out of her shell so much since she started nursery and gets excited every week when I tell her where she is going. The care and attention she gets from all the ladies are amazing! Her face lights up when she sees everyone.

Overall Experience

My little girl is flourishing under the guidance and care of the staff at Kenton Park Nursery. She is growing in confidence every single day and is always so happy and friendly. I genuinely believe she is doing so well because of the environment she is in. When we are out and about she always waves hello to other children and has such a caring attitude. I’d 100% recommend this nursery to all parents. I already do!

We chose this nursery as it was recommended by friends. We have struggle's with separation anxiety but her keyworker has been amazing helping her get through this. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to all, the staff and managers are a credit to the company and I can't wait to see how much more they bring my daughter on.

Overall Experience
Both of our children have attended Kenton Park Nursery and it is truly a loving and supportive environment for any child. The staff throughout show a genuine interest in each child and work to ensure they meet the needs of each individual.

I would, without a doubt, recommend this nursery and pre-school to any parent and we feel very fortunate that we have had the luck for our children to be nurtured in such a loving environment in their early years.

Review from Caroline S (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

This nursery has been great for our daughter. The staff are very caring towards her and she is very settled there. My daughter is always offered three meals a day and given a nap. I am always informed with regards to the quantity she has eaten and length of time she has slept. There have been a couple of times where she was in the accident book, one occasion a staff member stood on her hand which I understand is an accident but maybe staff could be more cautious. Overall I am very happy with my choice of nursery.

Reply from Mandy Conway, at Kids Planet Kenton Park

Thanks for your kind comments. We are a transparent nursery and always communicate openly and honestly with our parents, as we believe this is very important to building a strong relationship and trust.

Overall I am happy with Kenton Park Nursery, with the staff and resources being good. The only improvement I would like would be if the staff gave a little more information on what your child had been like that day, what had been done and if there had been any problems/good feedback.

An excellent nursery, staff exceptionally caring and friendly towards both parents and children. Excellent polities in place and if my son has a minor accident all procedures are followed and paperwork completed.
Routine and structured learning, with opportunities for free play. My son runs into nursery with joy and excitement and doesn't want to leave on a night!

I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

Overall Experience

Ever since my little boy started at the nursery he has loved it. The staff are so friendly and make you feel so welcome. It has brought him so much with his talking and learning different things. He always talks about the staff and knows them by name. He will always tell me what he does at nursery if out in garden or painting or singing which to me means he enjoys every minute and always loves the food which is home cooked, which is great. Overall a great family feel to the nursery.

Mandy Conway

I have been nursery manager here since 2008, but I have been in childcare for over 20 years. My passion to work with children was ignited when I had my own children. I work with a fantastic team, with most of them being long term staff members. I hold a Diploma in Early Years Practice Level 5. I am also the nursery’s Designated Safeguarding Lead. I feel so proud of the nursery that I have had the pleasure of being a part of for so many years.
