Kido Clerkenwell

My son has been attending Kido Clerkenwell for over a year now and has been enjoying his time. The staff are lovely and caring and have supported my son with his extra needs. The management team have also been very supportive and understanding with the extra care needed for my son. Thank you for being so welcoming.

We had the most positive experience at Kido Clerkenwell. The team is passionate, prepared and caring. Our daughter's development of both social and cognitive skills have exceeded our expectations and we felt she was supported throughout the journey exactly when and as needed. She created very strong bonds with staff and other kids, which was lovely to see. At 2.5 years of age she has a rich English vocabulary despite we don't speak any English at home. The nursery has a large, well equipped outdoor area, which is widely used throughout the year. We very highly recommend Kido Clerkenwell.

The team at Kido Clerkenwell is amazing. From my first interaction with the Parent Relationship Manager, I knew this school was for my child. The kindness and patience shown from everyone is comforting. My child entered at 2 and a half years old not knowing a word of English and now (4 months later) can express himself with ease. I am grateful for the support given to me and my family since day one and recommend Kido Clerkenwell to any parent who is looking for a kind, nurturing, and stimulating nursery for their children.

I'm so happy to have found such an amazing nursery for my little one. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable and maintain the children's best interests at the forefront of all their programmes and decisions. They're also quick to react and find solutions when items are raised by the parents. You can tell they spend a lot of effort developing their annual programme and provide decent size progress reports for the development of your child. My little one was never bored at this nursery and was always eager to tell me all he had accomplished during the day. In all this setting exceeded my expectations and my little one formed incredible attachments with many of the staff, most importantly his key person. The graduation play at the end of their time at nursery was a joy to watch.

It has been great seeing how well she is doing and will continue on to preschool at Kido Clerkenwell. Definitely recommend!

Our 18-month-old loves his days in the Discoverers room at Kido. We were nervous to send him to nursery when he was 10 months old, but there's such a warm, nurturing atmosphere here that our fears were quickly put to rest. Our son is clearly thriving. His key workers are kind, caring and enthusiastic. We love how much time he spends outdoors in the babies' dedicated play area, which has everything a toddler could wish for - bikes, balls, soft play, picnic blankets, water games etc. His confidence has grown massively and we're happy to see him developing both social and cognitive skills.

I have two sons, one who has just started primary school and spent three and a half years at Kido and can only speak highly of our experience. We also have our second son at Kido and he loves the staff and enjoys himself and it is lovely to see how he is developing on a regular basis.

Thank you to the amazing Discoverers room team!

Our daughter has been at Kido since she was 11 months old, moving through from Discoverers to Pathfinders (Pre-school room). We are so happy with Kido: they communicate well with parents, have kind and nurturing teachers, excellent room leaders and many learning opportunities. I feel my daughter has developed leaps and bounds at Kido, and it has set her up for a positive approach to education and learning at school. Highly recommend!

I couldn’t recommend enough the Kido Nursery.

Our son loves Kido Clerkenwell as much as we do. The staff are always friendly, helpful and attentive. We receive regular updates throughout the day via the app on the activities the children have done that day, and it is always lovely to see pictures of our son having fun whilst we are at work, and see what he has eaten. Monthly milestones are also shared in a report and it shows how much our son has learnt over the months he has been at Kido Clerkenwell.

Our son has been attending for over a year and he really loves to come to Kido. We are very pleased with the staff, curriculums and facilities. It's not only helping our son to grow and learn a lot of new things, it's also reassuring for us to leave him in Kido while we are working. The staff are really communicative and helpful. They give us daily reports about his activities in person and there is an app that tracks my son's activities and developmental milestones.

She has a deep and emotional attachment to her key worker who has been amazing. The environment is also amazing, they really do make an effort to create a nurturing, encouraging environment where kids can thrive.

This is the fourth nursery that our just-turned-four-year-old has attended due to house moves etc but it is the first one that he seems truly settled. I immediately loved the light, airy space of the pre-schooler room and the outdoor space during our first tour of the nursery but it has been the care and attention of the staff ever since that has impressed me most. Although happy-go-lucky at home, our son is quite shy but he has really come out of his shell at Kido and actually looks forward to going to nursery every day which is a huge relief as a parent. From the vast array of thoughtful, creative activities that are planned in every day to the enthusiasm and kindness demonstrated by the staff the best testament is that we will soon be sending our 8 month old here too.

We were initially attracted to Kido Clerkenwell because of its airy play rooms, generous outdoor space and its learning curriculum. While all of these matter, the real value has been in the care and kindness of the staff. Our daughter started nursery as a toddler and the amount of time and care the team put into helping her settle was impressive. The staff really listened to us and worked with us to make our daughter’s transition to nursery a smooth one. For example, the team helped us put together a photo book ahead of starting nursery and provided regular updates via the app so we could talk about nursery more easily at home. Our daughter’s keyworker is outstanding and shows enormous sensitivity and kindness, our daughter adores her. All of the early effort has paid off and our daughter loves going to nursery each day. Ultimately, what really matters in any nursery is that the children are seen and treated warmly while away from home. Kido Clerkenwell has this in spades.

We are very happy with Kido nursery for the past year since he joined. My almost-two-year-old looks forward to going, making me much calmer about leaving him while I work. The staff are all friendly and loving. They track my son's activities and developmental milestones in pictures and videos via the nursery app. We are so pleased to have found Kido!

We have been extremely pleased with Kido. The facilities are great, particularly the large garden. The amazing staff are very caring and enthusiastic. They create an ever-changing array of educational and fun activities, on interesting and creative themes, including many activities that are far too messy to do at home! The food is nutritious and sounds tasty. The nursery has responded well to the pandemic. They ask for feedback and look to continually improve. It’s great to see the fun that the children are having via photographs on the app and also get other useful updates. We certainly highly recommend the nursery.

Our daughter has been at Kido Clerkenwell for the last two years and we have seen continual and sustained development in that time. We have been very impressed by the quality and creativity of teaching and learning and the level of care is second to none. The teaching staff are incredibly invested in each and every child and build very good bonds with children and parents alike. The facilities are very good, particularly for a central London location.

I'm so happy we chose this nursery for our daughter! The staff are wonderful, the facilities and technology are very modern and I love that they have a large separate baby room with its own outdoor space, which keeps the little ones super safe. We looked at a lot of nurseries in the area for our ten month old daughter and this was by far the best option. The facilities are bright and airy and the amount of outdoor space is really impressive for a central London nursery. The application process was also very straightforward, unlike some other popular nurseries in the area I could mention! Now that my daughter has started at the nursery we use an app for most of our communications, including lots of photos, which is incredibly reassuring and super convenient for day-to-day admin. The staff have been absolutely brilliant and my daughter genuinely loves her key worker. I have so much gratitude for the staff's hard work and so much respect for their relentlessly upbeat attitudes!

Kido Clerkenwell is a great nursery. Our son has been enjoying himself so much there and the all of the members of staff have been fantastic, especially the nursery manager and our son's key worker. They made a huge effort to make sure he settled in really well, supported him through a fussy eating phase and also helped him take better naps. I noticed his development has accelerated since he's been at Kido Clerkenwell. We chose Kido Clerkenwell because it is an international nursery and we want to make sure our son is exposed to different languages and cultures. It was initially very convenient being so close to my office. Having a busy work schedule, this was practical so I could make sure I was always nearby. However, due to Covid-19 the office has closed, so the location is no longer convenient. This is why we will, unfortunately, be moving our son at the end of the month. Had it not been for that, we would not be moving him. We hope that the next nursery will be just as good.
