Review from J P (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our daughter loved the nursery from the very first day and she's looking forward to being back every day. She adores all of her teachers and friends. She's learning quite a lot and we know it's going to benefit her when she starts primary school. We can see how happy she is when in return we can be content going to work knowing she's in a safe environment our daughter became more independent and developed her social skills. We would highly recommend this nursery to our family and friends.

Overall Experience

Kids@BT9 is a fantastic nursery. My child loves every minute. The staff have made him feel so welcome and part of the nursery family. There is always plenty of activities and time outdoors. The food provided is healthy and my child eats everything provided. The staff are always happy and excited to see the children and very approachable. We are kept up to date with everything and are informed of any policy change as soon as possible. They have handled all the changes due to covid 19 very well and I feel safe sending my child here.

After viewing the nursery and seeing how friendly the staff were I immediately knew my kids were going to settle in. The kids always have fun and there are so many activities for them to do. Couldn't recommend Kids@BT9 enough!

Overall Experience

Right from the moment I viewed the nursery I was so at ease with the procedures in place due to the current situation (covid 19). The staff were very welcoming and interacting with the children. The nursery manager who showed us around, explained everything in great detail, which put us at ease. I would highly recommend Kids@BT9.

Overall Experience

My daughter attended the preschool session at Kids@BT9. She absolutely loved it. The staff were brilliant in helping her settle in, especially because she had not previously attended daycare/nursery before. She loved all the messy play i.e paint, soil, sand, water, playdough, etc. She particularly enjoyed the musician who came in every fortnight to sing and dance with them. She still talks about her often. Brilliant nursery with brilliant staff and management.

Review from Hannah M (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Kids@BT9 is an exceptional daycare provider. Since our son started just over 12 months ago we have seen such amazing progress in his physical, mental and emotional development. The staff encourage all sorts of play and interaction between the children and he comes home with so many stories about what a fantastic time he’s had. Everything is so well organised and with the monthly newsletter we feel very involved in the themes so we can also join in at home.
Since all these uncertain times of 2020, the manager and the team have taken great care in ensuring staff and children are safe at all times with numerous new policies and procedures. I always feel that I can approach the staff with any questions and they are always so helpful.

I couldn’t recommend this daycare enough.

Review from Y W (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Kids@BT9 have been so kind and engaging to our baby girl. I was very worried about leaving her as she isn't a great eater or sleeper, but she has now settled in well.
Activities seem to be fun and the updates on the parent's app are very reassuring.

I'm looking forward to seeing her grow and develop as she moves through the rooms.

Review from Scarlett D (Mother of Child) published on 27 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The baby room is very well organised with lots of structured activities. Toys are orientated towards sensory experience and learning. Various activities throughout the week eg. sensory play (rice, shredded paper, paint) and outdoor activities ensure children are getting the stimulation need for development. I'm very pleased with the high level of professionalism from the staff and they seem genuinely interested in the children. Food is prepared on-site and appears of a good standard. Very happy with the overall level of care provided.

Overall Experience

Both my children attend Kids@BT9 (the one-year-old in the baby room and the four-year-old in preschool). Both have developed considerably since attending. The staff and management are knowledgeable and friendly. The premises are conducive to learning and developing. We are very pleased with our choice of nursery.

Review from Joan M (Mother of Child) published on 12 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My two older children attended Kids@BT9 crèche and pre-school, with my third child soon to join crèche.
I have no hesitation in recommending both crèche and pre-school. The staff and management are second to none. You can go to work with the confidence that your child will have a fun-filled day and on some occasions, won’t even want to come home with you!
I have found management to be really supportive at times when I’ve needed to change/reduce days etc.

My daughter completed Kids@BT9 Pre-School in June this year and I have watched her grow into a child who is very ready for P1. This is all down to the great team of staff who show so much dedication to their job. Their graduation ceremony is one not to be missed!

Review from Karen K (Mother of Child) published on 18 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I found the transition back to work very difficult and leaving my son was particularly difficult but I know he was in safe hands. His settling in was handled very well and compassionately (for both of us). In particular, the mynurserypal facility is excellent and the updates (especially the photos) are fantastic! This brightens my day and I appreciate the time it takes the staff to do this. It is particularly good to hear very specific details of my son's day and his development at pick up, staff are very tuned into his needs. The care and attention given to ensuring a varied day are also excellent, particularly the time outdoors. The little events and celebrations are also fantastic. The nursery is also very well managed and organised, the staff are so pleasant and it is really clean.

I was doubtful if my 9 months old daughter would settle at daycare or not. But the staff at Kids@BT9 are very caring and supportive who made us feel at ease. Our daughter got settled quicker than I thought, very happy with the staff and overall facilities.

My daughter (2 years old) has been at Kids@BT9 for over 2 months and absolutely loves it! The staff are very professional and caring and it's great to see the photos on the activities she is doing during the day. The nursery is clean, bright and very welcoming. We could not be happier with Kids@BT9. So glad we chose it.

Review from Stephanie D (Mother of Child) published on 8 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. From going to my initial walk around when I was still pregnant (yes, I am that organised), through settling in, to now. It has just got better and better!
My daughter started when she was 9 months old in the baby room and although we had a few teary moments, in the beginning, she loves the place now. She will literally run in through the door.
She is now in wobbler room, which she loves as she gets outside as much as possible.
All the staff have been excellent, it was sad to move from baby room, as she had formed such a bond with the girls there, but the wobbler room girls are just as great. They all get hugs and kisses each day.

Everyone of the staff, including management are so friendly, and if you've any issues, which is very rare, they will happily resolve asap.

My daughter has been attending Kids@BT9 for over a year now and as a young mother, I feel very comfortable around the staff to share and ask for advice.
I love checking and seeing her wee photos and the wee activities she's doing each day on my nursery pal.

I would highly recommend Kids@BT9.

I have been using Kids@BT9 for over 2 years and they continually go up in my expectations. The quality of care, love and affection they show my children is unbelievable. I am a clean freak and can honestly say how clean and fresh and well maintained the rooms and buildings are. The nursery always smells fresh. Keep up the great work.
