Review from Z L (Mother of Child) published on 6 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter recently started in the Tweenie room at Kids@BT9. Being a first-time mum, I was scared and rather anxious at leaving my child but the girls have been simply amazing. Everything was explained to me thoroughly and thanks to the new Ipad system I can read how my child's day has been, a huge weight of my mind! The nursery itself is beautifully decorated, well structured good outside garden area and very well run. My daughter has completely come out of her shell and loves going to nursery in the morning, this is all down to the caring staff. I can't recommend this nursery enough.

Overall Experience

Words cannot describe Kids@BT9. I have two children attending babies and junior Pre-School and cannot praise the staff enough. A very high standard is set by the management and staff with quality, care, love and real empathy for my children. On Saturday we had a daycare to raise money for a defibrillator fantastic. We sneaked off for breakfast and my children enjoyed Jo Jingles, face painting and a Magician with a real rabbit. Fantastic nursery. Would never send my children anywhere else. Keep up the good work all the team.

Overall Experience

My little boy is in the Wobbler room of Kids@BT9. Each day he attends he is cared for by the best staff possible, who really put me at ease and reassured me when my child was settling into the nursery. As if the staff here don't do enough they opened for a Saturday fun day to raise money for a defibrillator. The entire morning was so well organised with lots for the children to do, giving us parents a few hours to ourselves. I highly recommend Kids@BT9 and when my next baby comes along I will definitely be sending them.

Overall Experience
Kids@BT9 is an excellent nursery with dedicated and caring staff. My son has been attending this nursery for almost two years and is very happy here. He regularly doesn’t want to come home when we come to collect him!

The pre-school onsite has worked so well for us as our son could stay in a familiar environment and the wrap around care is all in the same place, I would definitely recommend this to other parents.

Overall Experience

Our experience with Kids@BT9 has been excellent. Our 4yr old son has been there for the last 2 years and has really been happy there. The staff in both the rooms he has been in are all very nice and the manager is also excellent. The facilities are great and the preschool better than what is available in local schools with an 8:1 ratio. I also appreciate the trips and visits they organise (for which there is no extra charge) unlike some other nurseries. I cannot recommend it enough!

Overall Experience

The whole team at Kids@BT9 do an excellent job overall. Naturally, a parent is very apprehensive about leaving their 1-year-old in someone else's care for the first time, but our minds were put at ease very quickly, as they provide a very safe and wholesome environment for the children. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

The staff at Kids@BT9 are great. Very attentive to the kid's needs - always coming up with new innovative play activities to help them learn and grow. They really care about the kids and it’s truly a lovely place to drop your wee one into - you know they’ll be in good hands.

Also, the kids definitely get great quality food and lots of it and the facilities are excellent.

Overall Experience
There is nothing bad I could say about Kids@bt9! My child is in the preschool room, and she runs to the door every morning. She is greeted by the preschool team with enthusiasm and a smile and the care they give is second to none. I can see how well my wee one is developing and she is going to be well prepared for heading off to primary one. Kids@bt9 have such a wide range of activities, for example, a visit from the police a few days ago, my child talked about it all evening when she got home! I couldn’t think of a better nursery for my child to attend and I would highly recommend it.

P.S loving the new iPad system, can’t wait for it to go live!

Overall Experience

My son has been with Kids@BT9 since 6 months old and has moved through all the rooms and is now in pre-school. All the staff have shown care and attention to my child's needs. Each day I receive a comprehensive handover on what he has eaten, slept, toileted and the activities he has enjoyed. He cries leaving as he wants to stay. It's brilliant and would recommend to any parent looking for first class childcare.

Overall Experience

My child has been in Kids@BT9 since 2016 and they will be joining their pre-school this September. Every room has shown love and care towards my son and all of the girls are flawless between making me birthday cards, giving my son those extra cuddles and genuinely having a positive attitude towards working. The manager herself is always welcoming me in the mornings with a big smile and her deputy couldn't be nicer. I couldn't be nicer. I couldn't recommend Kids@BT9 enough.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone in the Belfast area. The building is fresh and clean and the staff are so welcoming. All the staff show a high standard of care towards my daughter, throughout her day. She is given the opportunity to grow and develop her learning.

Review from N L (Foster Parent of Child) published on 12 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was so nervous about dropping my child off to nursery as she had never been to any playgroups etc before and didn’t know how she would react. The girls in the Tweenie Room put me at such ease and everyone was so friendly! The manager talked me step by step through the settling in process and I was able to leave knowing that my daughter was in safe hands. She now runs in through the door in the morning and it’s such a great feeling to know how much she enjoys nursery. I had previously looked around 5+ other nurseries but none compared to Kids@BT9.

Overall Experience

I had the wonderful experience of seeing my son perform in his first nativity in preschool at Kids@BT9. The staff had clearly put in a lot of hard work and it was clear to see that the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I continue to be impressed by the units dedication, communication both face to face and through regular newsletters, relevant themes each month to stimulate learning and enjoyment and day trips to local facilities. My son has made some close friends and forged close bonds with the staff also.

Overall Experience

I have experience in numerous nursery settings in NI and abroad over the years. I've also tried in-house nannies. All have been good but I keep coming back to Kids@BT9. They've had all five of my kids now! Whilst the facilities cannot be bettered in South Belfast (large, new, clean, garden etc) it really is all about the people, the staff are wonderful across the board. Leadership from the manageress is outstanding - the proof being in the retaining of staff (after a three-year hiatus all the same faces were still there!) Unheard of in an environment with usually such rapid staff turnover. Highly highly recommend.

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Kids@BT9 for nearly 2 years - he absolutely loves it. The staff are so friendly and approachable. Fantastic with the children. The nursery who provides a great education for kids in their developing years with relevant themes every month such as 'All about me' exploring each child's individuality and cooks their own food on site, which is actually hard to find in nurseries. They provide excellent feedback in our son's development with a very informative rundown of his day, every day.

Review from Fiona H (Mother of Child) published on 8 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have just relocated from Belfast to Glasgow, which meant we had to take our son out of this wonderful nursery. For me, it was actually the worst part of leaving. Our son was very well cared for by the lovely staff and management. He was in the baby room and then the wobblers room. The staff in both are fantastic and took a real interest in our son's development and personality. Management is lovely to deal with and take the time to get to know the parents and their needs, as well as those of the child. Meals are great, and reporting at the end of each day is thorough. Our son really loved it here. I couldn't have wished for a better nursery - there's just one problem. I can't lift the nursery and bring it over to Glasgow!

Overall Experience

This is the second time we have used Kids@BT9 for our children. I haven't come across any other nursery that immediately satisfied all my initial needs in terms of comfort and security of the environment, visual appeal to decor to assist in sensory impact and a sense of a combined and happy team who are proud and happy to be there for the children. Every aspect of Kids@BT9 is of the highest standard, driven by a strong management team who ensures everything is impeccable for the children. I have recommended it to others on multiple occasions and will continue to do so.

My daughter is 14 months old and has been attending Kids@BT9 since she was 8 months old. She loves coming to nursery and seeing the girls who look after her - she beams from ear to ear and hardly notices when I leave! As she is happy, I am happy!
