My son really enjoys his nursery days at Zone4kids, we feel it is excellent preparation for him starting school. He enjoys the social side of nursery and loves to tell us about his day when he gets home.

Great how flexible Zone4kids is in adding, changing days when available. Really good to provide holiday clubs and after-school clubs for older children too. Really like the healthy meal options too.

Overall Experience
My daughter is very happy here, always asking to go to nursery. Her confidence has grown and she has really flourished.
A lot of effort has been made to prepare her for the next step - starting school.

The staff are so friendly and caring.

Review from Sarah M (Mother of Child) published on 21 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter is almost 4 and has been happily attending Zone4kids at Whitley Lodge First School since the age of 1. The setting is everything you would expect a nursery to be. The staff are so patient, kind and loving to the children, teaching key stages that support and improve their development. Day sheets let the parents know what activities have been undertaken and what food eaten. The varied menus are nutritious and the activities are a fabulous mix of fun and learning. Holiday club and after-school care is also excellent!

Our daughter has come on so much from attending Zone4kids at Whitley Lodge First School, her social skills and vocabulary have noticeably improved after her days at nursery. She loves the outdoor area and I always feel she is in very safe hands and has had two fantastic key workers.

Every part of Zone4kids is superb. The staff are amazing with the children. My oldest son attended the nursery a few years ago, and there were no questions about where I would send my son, who currently attends.

Review from J M (Mother of Child) published on 6 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Both of our children have attended Zone4kids and both thrived there. All staff have been nurturing towards our children and they have had such varied and exciting experiences. Our youngest one was particularly shy and everyone did all they could to help her settle more quickly. We could not recommend Zone 4kids, highly enough.

Overall Experience

We were so happy to get a place at this wonderful and highly recommended nursery, for our son. He has been coming to the nursery since September 2021 and the staff are amazing with him (and us), from the very first day. He always finishes the day happy, well fed and wanting to go back again. He has built close bonds with a lot of the staff and loves the freshly prepared food that is provided. It's nutritious, the menu changes each term to reflect the seasons and there's always a scrumptious dessert! The activities and learning opportunities are fabulous. We love it!
