Staff are friendly, caring and well informed. My children love attending. Facilities and food are both excellent.
We've been very happy with the care my daughters received. Communication between staff and parents is good and we've found them very supportive with personal issues. My daughter is happy at nursery which is the best sign that Kinder Haven are doing a good job. Thank you.
The manager and staff at the nursery are very hands-on and so welcoming. A great atmosphere in the nursery, always fun activities for my little boy. Cleanliness is 10/10
Fantastic nursery, my little boy attends here and staff are very helpful and proactive in encouraging individual children's learning and development.
Our daughter has attended Kinder Haven 5 days each week for the past 12 months since the age of 9 months old. The facility is maintained to a high level with well proportioned rooms and outdoor play areas. Security is excellent along with communication between staff/parents. As first-time parents, this nursery has exceeded our expectations and our daughter is benefiting as a result.
I’ve had 2 boys at this nursery from the day it’s opened and I can’t say anything bad about it. I have a great relationship with the staff and my boys have made great friends. They are so well looked after every day and the staff are caring, friendly and will go out of their way to help with anything. My eldest has allergies and they have fully accommodated him since we found out and they make him different food so he never misses out. When he had to start wearing glasses, they had all of the children set up a mini optician in the room and they all got on board with trying on glasses. I get an update on parent portal daily of different activities my boys are doing, nappy changes, naps and food!
My daughter has gone to Kinder Haven since she was 18 months old and we’ve always found them to be exceptional. The staff are warm and friendly and really know the children well. We’ll be sad when she goes off to primary school in September!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kinder Haven to anyone looking for a nursery, we've been extremely happy with our decision so far.
Excellent nursery. Very clean, staff are great - really polite and all seem to know all children's names despite it being a large nursery. Really good meals and my daughter always seems really happy there
My Daughter has attended Kinder Haven since she was 12 weeks old, she is now two and a half, and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of sending their child there.
The staff and facilities are excellent. My daughter enjoys going each day so I have no problems dropping her off in the morning. Her learning and development have continually tracked ahead of her expected ability at her age and this is in my opinion due to the staff.
As well as being highly competent, the staff are extremely caring and my daughter has formed strong bonds with her various key workers and made good friends.
I have friends and family with children at other nurseries and from speaking to them I can honestly say Kinder Haven offers significantly better childcare in all aspects than others I hear about
My daughter started at this Nursery when she was 8 months old, I was so nervous about leaving her but very quickly stopped worrying when she was at nursery. The staff are all so lovely, actually care and build relationships with the children, look after them so well and update you on everything they do, including taking videos of them when they’re learning new tricks, and then upload them to the app. When picking up my daughter they always told me what she’d eaten, how much, if she had napped and how long. As well as all this, I was always amazed by the things she had learnt at Nursery, developed so much while she was there.
My child is very happy in this setting. He is encouraged to be himself and to interact with others. The preschool setting has a good mix of free play and more structured learning.
My daughter never settled at her previous nursery and I regularly had to pick her up because she was so distraught. Since being at Kinder Haven she has grown in confidence and now looks forward to nursery and talks with pride about all of her friends. The standard of classrooms, equipment, staff training and the facilities is second to none. I’ve never seen such a professionally run nursery before. They have managed to retain complete personability and a welcoming atmosphere, whilst operating on an impeccably professional level. No sense of warmth has been lost to organisation and diligence. The whole building buzzes with the excitement of happy children. It is spotlessly clean and the staff are authoritative, confident and clearly very well trained, yet warm and genuinely caring with the children. I would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a fantastic start for their baby.
Both our 2 children attend the nursery and they have done so since they were 7 months old. The care given at this nursery is excellent. Staff are friendly, down-to-earth and professional. The nursery manager is friendly, approachable and resolves any issues very quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.
They do a range of activities that always seem to tire him out.
The staff are great and always enthusiastic.
The app is easy to use and allows me to keep up to date with everything that he does throughout the day.
There is a large outside play area that is split into sections for the different age groups.
There is CCTV in the rooms.
Very secure building with a strict entry policy. Fob access only.
Plenty of space to park for collections.
He has tried all sorts of foods that he wouldn’t have done at home and has met lots of pals. It’s been great for his confidence and he has huge smile on his face at drop off times. We have recommended it to lots of our friends and feel so lucky that our nursery experience is how it is. Thank you.
My little girl has been attending the nursery for over five months now. It didn’t take her long at all to settle in and now she happily waves me off at the door. She loves her key worker. The parent zone system means I can check on what’s been going on during her day, it's also nice to get pictures/videos of her enjoying the activities.
The facilities are perfect to help with the children's development and are age appropriate. The managers do a great job and have kept me informed of my child's progress. They spend their time supporting the caregivers and the children in their rooms, which is reassuring as they are getting to know your child. It is a fantastic nursery and would highly recommend it to other people.
So happy with how my little boy has settled into Kinder Haven. I went to view a couple of nurseries prior and I knew as soon as I visited my child would be happy here. Couldn’t fault them, he is progressing wonderfully and loves all the staff.
The staff that work at this nursery are by far the best I have ever seen in any nursery, you can see they love the job they do which is seen through the care that is given to the children. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a high standard of childcare without comprise.
