Overall Experience

Zone4kids is an exceptional nursery. We have been very fortunate to have our son grow up there. it has been so comforting to know that our son has been nurtured and supported by a fantastic team. Our son is a happy, positive and caring boy, which I'm sure Zone4kids have contributed to. Thank you Zone4kids - Jayne and the team.

Review from Sarah C (Mother of Child) published on 1 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I am so grateful that my daughter got her place at Zone4kids. I know the setting well as they cared for my 4 previous children & wouldn't choose anywhere else. My daughter has thrived here. She always looks forward to coming which is testament in itself. Staff go above & beyond for the children. They are nurtured and cared for in a holistic way. Children always have a smile on their faces. I will be devastated when my daughter starts school full time.

Overall Experience

Could not recommend Zone4kids enough. My little one has settled in so well and that's down to the staff & their care. The setting in process was gradual & they made sure my little one settled in over a good period of time. She now loves it and smiles going in. Would recommend.

Review from C E (Mother of Child) published on 1 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Both my children have attended Whitley Lodge (eldest now at school) and I have always been blown away by attention, kindness & care given to them. My son took a long time to settle & staff made a bespoke plan to help with this and ensured me, son & husband happy at every step. Activities & food are varied, my children have learnt lots of skills to make them school ready and they both are excited to be dropped off in the morning!

Review from Holly E (Mother of Child) published on 1 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Zone4kids at Whitley Lodge is an outstanding nursery, all of the staff members are incredible. My child has come on so much since he first started in September '25. We couldn't be happier. Seeing his little face when he runs into nursery is heart warming. We 100% made the right choice sending him here. They are all a credit to our employer. I feel so comfortable when leaving the nursery after drop off. 10/10.

Overall Experience

Zone4kids and all the amazing staff are like our family. I feel blessed and grateful that my kids get taught by this incredible bunch of 'aunties' and 'uncles'. The care the boys have received is second to none. I have never had any issues or concerns. The way they smile and embrace the kids is just so special. They offer a wide range of education and learning for all ages.

Overall Experience

Excellent care is provided in both nursery and after-school care settings. Staff take time to build strong and caring relationships with boys and have shown care to parents. Activities are engaging and dedicated to early years development, and learning, and activities are very much enjoyed by both children.
