Since joining Zone4kids, my son has enjoyed every second of his time there. As a parent, I know he is safe, entertained and loved. I can't ask for more from the friendly, approachable staff.

Review from K G (Father of Child) published on 28 September 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son who has been attending Zone4kids at Whitley Lodge for two years. The staff have gone over and above to make sure he's settled in and major efforts have been made to fix any problem that occurs. eg. after changing rooms at age two he got upset as children, teachers were different. To address this one of his favourite teachers was moved to his room every day he attended so that he had someone he knew, which made a massive difference! They also do lots of fun activities, I'm very jealous. I have offered to swap so I will go to nursery and he goes to work, but he said no...

Zone4kids is a great nursery. My daughter loves her time there. The activities they get the kids involved in are so diverse from games to animal antics to African drums. It's great.
Everyone is very caring and enthusiastic.

We as parents love how our daughter has progressed whilst being at the nursery. Thank you to everyone at Zone4kids.

A lovely bunch of ladies work here. You can talk to either one of them about anything and they go above and beyond even if you need childcare outside of their work hours. My kids love the food they serve and seem to eat more. They were so easy to register and be enrolled.

I cannot thank all the staff enough for helping my son fit into the nursery so effortlessly. He is so happy and loves going into the nursery. The staff are fabulous, friendly and dedicated and greet my son so warmly each morning. It is really reassuring to leave him in their care and each day, a comprehensive written summary of the day is provided.

Overall Experience

I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the staff at Zone4kids - you are all brilliant. Due to work commitments, my two girls have attended Zone4kids and you have been fantastic, changing arrangements to suit us all at the very last minute. I love to hear the girls sing and talk about what they have done through the day and reading the update, explaining what they have eaten and done so I can prompt them too. Thanks again.

Overall Experience

My daughter always looks forward to going to nursery and that says it all. The staff are all incredibly warm, friendly, caring and responsible. Knowing my daughter is being so well looked after is tremendously reassuring. She is stimulated and entertained and it is obvious she learns so much. Zone4kids is a vital part of her development, thanks to the efforts of the staff. We are both delighted with and grateful for, the high level of care she receives and would heartily recommend Zone4kids to other parents.

Overall Experience

My boys love going to Zone4kids. I, as a mother, feel so much better in the knowledge that they are safe and happy. Every child has it's own needs and personality and I feel the staff treat each child as an individual. All the staff are just lovely and I will be sad when my boys stop going.

Reply from Jayne Turnbull, Nursery Manager at Zone4kids at Whitley Lodge First School

Thanks for your great review, it is much appreciated. I am delighted the boys love coming to Zone and will pass on your comments to the staff, who love getting such positive feedback.

Overall Experience

Brilliant nursery, our daughter has been at the nursery for two years the staff are very friendly and caring. All the staff do a fantastic job and have really helped our daughter's development. Our son has recently started at the nursery and I can’t thank them all enough for how they have helped him settle in - nothing is too much trouble. The professionalism is second to none and they have done an amazing job, remaining open and providing the same excellent level of care and learning. Would highly recommend this nursery.
