Review from K P (Mother of Child) published on 21 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Unfortunately, our experience with kingwood children hasn't met expectations. While we had high hopes based on initial visits and promises, the day-to-day reality has been disappointing.
Communication has been inconsistent, and it often feels like we're left in the dark with terms and conditions changing
with only 3 weeks notice. Concerns we've raised haven't always been taken seriously or addressed promptly, which has been frustrating and at times concerning.
We've also noticed that the environment doesn't always seem as nurturing or well-managed as it should be, and children aren't always offered time outside.
We understand that no place is perfect, but we had hoped for more professionalism, transparency, and care-especially during such an important stage of our child's early years.

Review from Lucy D (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Well, where can I start? Kingwood is an absolutely fantastic childcare setting and I couldn't recommend them enough to anyone and everyone.
The staff are the most loving, caring, kind and fun people I have met.
The activities that Kingwood offer are second to none, they really do go above and beyond
for the children. Their days are packed full of different activities which involve learning through fun and play.
They have their own transport to take the children on many different trips such as the library, parks, farms, rivers, forests, beaches, the supermarket, etc and these are mostly all part of the price for the childcare, so you don't pay any extra for your child to have fun days out!
My daughter has attended Kingwood from 2016 until the present day and I cannot praise Kingwood enough for the care and learning they have provided for my daughter. Her development, knowledge and confidence really has come on leaps and bounds. So thank you Kingwood, you're amazing!

Review from Laura N (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our family love Kingwood!


They're the most caring, nurturing, genuine, fun and professionally run nursery we've seen by a mile.


Our little boy loves going and comes home happy and tired out from a day of fun, what more can you ask? The activities they do with the children are not run of the mill

- they're amazing adventures that have the kids fascinated, learning through play, outdoors, out into the world and full of enthusiasm and excitement.


They log everything and keep in touch via an app, it gives us absolute peace of mind. There's no wondering what our child is doing or how he is, we can see photos for ourselves and they can ask questions (so can we) and get immediate answers. No more waiting for a paper contact book to come home, it's a brilliant app.


The staff are lovely, incredible and clearly love working there - they are a different breed of nursery and preschool and I cannot recommend Kingwood highly enough.

Review from Holly (Mother of Child) published on 3 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kingwood is a wonderful happy friendly setting, the staff are so kind and caring with a warm loving nature!
We could not ask for a better preschool/nursery for our daughter, they have so much to offer they go on trips weekly which includes visiting the elderly, farm visit, pond dipping!
There are
so many opportunities for the children to grow i.e learning French, cooking, looking after the pets at preschool, shopping experience to a supermarket.
All the staff are so friendly they are like one big family their days are packed so full of activities and entertainment.
I could not recommend Kingwood enough. 5* child care in my eyes!

Current Review Score: 2.4 (2.417)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 2.4 (2.417) out of 10 for Kingwood Children Uffculme is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 2.4 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 0 out of 5 from 0 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 2.417 for Kingwood Children Uffculme is calculated as follows: ( (1 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 2.417
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kingwood Children Uffculme is based on 0 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) =
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 104 number of registered child places is 20.8. 0 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.8 = 0
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
