Kamelia kids in my opinion is a fantastic nursery. The administration staff are excellent, they send timely and informative emails. They provide additional guidance on how funding works and reply to emails quickly. They have been great since day one.
The nursery carers are also excellent. My youngest attended another nursery for a year before we moved him to Kamelia kids and the difference in his happiness was striking. My son loves his key worker but is also very happy with all the other team members who collect him at drop off. We don't have any morning battles to get him in. The staff have been great with getting him to nap and supporting his potty training. It's really evident that all the staff at the nursery are dedicated to their role and are there because they want to be. They come across as professional, fully trained, patient, knowledgeable and most importantly happy in their work. I'm so impressed by the level of care given to my son.
Your lovely feedback means so much to our staff, who work hard to create a caring, supportive, and happy environment for every child.
Excellent nursery, wonderful staff. Highly recommend. My children love it. They're well looked after and are encouraged to learn and have fun at the same time. They get to play outside a lot which is fantastic
Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We're so pleased your children are happy and enjoying their time with us. It's great to hear they're benefiting from both learning and plenty of outdoor play!
The staff have have been brilliant with my son's work hours and so accommodating.
It's a brilliant lovely nursery
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear how happy your grandchildren are and that they enjoy spending time with us. It's great to know our team has been able to support your son's schedule too-flexibility is really important to us. We truly appreciate your kind words!
This is a brilliant nursery which is so inclusive. The staff here are amazing and very attentive. They are so good at keeping you informed of everything that goes on during the days. My son is so haply here and always looks forward to going in and playing with his friends or going out on little adventures. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're thrilled to hear how happy your son is and that he enjoys his time with us. We really appreciate your kind words about our team and communication, and your recommendation means a lot to us.
Fast forward two years, and she absolutely loves it. She comes home counting to 10 in Spanish, with pockets full of shells from beach trips, and excitedly tells me about helping with cooking and playing on the garden slide.
The staff are warm and friendly, and we always get a lovely summary of her day at pick-up, which is reassuring as a parent. I think it would be great to see more photos of the children's activities and adventures.
Overall, we're very happy with the nursery. Our youngest is due to start soon as well.
We're so pleased your daughter has settled in well and is enjoying her time with us - it's wonderful to hear about her growing confidence and all the fun she's having, from learning Spanish to outdoor adventures.
Your kind words about our team mean a lot,...
My children never separated from me very well but both have run into the nursery with beaming smiles.
Not only is my child happy here but I am, I know my child is safe and very well looked after ,
My eldest has even asked to go back to Kamiella instead of school haha!
There extremely inclusive which is what I love!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting us with both of your children-it really means a lot to us.
We're delighted to hear they've both been so happy here and that you feel supported too. Your lovely feedback, especially about their big smiles (and wanting to come back!), truly makes our day.
There are frequent trips, a brilliant SENCO team and the admin are also fab. I couldn't fault any of the team's they have.
Thank you Kamelia!
Thank you for your kind feedback - we truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We're delighted to hear that you're happy with the level of care that Kamelia Kids has provided, and continues to provide, for your children and your family. Our entire team, across all areas of the nursery, is committed to putting children and their families at the heart of everything we do.
Our daughter has been at KK since she was 11 months old she is now 2.5 years old. She loves going in every day, anytime weather permits they go in the garden, parks, beaches, forest etc. They do lots of arts and crafts. The staff are all so nice and caring. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We are so pleased to hear that your daughter has had a lovely experience with us, and that you are happy with the level of care she has received.
My daughter loves the garden & outdoor space, so every day is different. She has thrived here & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kamelia Kids!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We endeavour to be inclusive of all children and we are so happy that your daughter has enjoyed her time with us!
My daughter has attended Kamelia Kids Nursery since she was 8 months old to now being 4 years old. I have had a very pleasurable experience throughout every class she has been in. Staff have always been very involving and kept us up to date with any activities my daughter has taken part in, what friendships she has made, areas where they have tried to help improve such as her confidence. I would happily bring any other children I have back to Kamelia Kids.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We are so pleased to hear that your daughter has had a lovely experience with us, and that you are happy with the level of care she has received. Wishing you all the best for big school!
Lots of support during development stages.
Thank you for your review, we are happy to hear that your daughter has had a lovely time with us. We wish you all the best at school.
My children have attended KK for the last 4 years, from the baby room up to (almost!) graduating from preschool. We have had nothing other than an exceptional experience thanks to their kindness, passion and professionalism. My children are truly treated like family and they are incredibly happy going in every day. The kids learn Spanish, their facilities are excellent, they spend lots of time outside, and my daughter loves the day trips. My kids have somewhat unusual medical needs and have been shown the very highest level of care, with the nursery having made adaptions and given staff training to help the day-to-day experience for both of them. I cannot recommend KK more for children with medical or senco needs. They've been a huge support for myself and my husband through the last few years, i.e. calling us daily for updates on our children when they have been hospitalised and being a shoulder for me to cry on at times. You won't regret choosing KK, it was the best decision we made
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We are so happy to hear that you are pleased with the level of care that Kamelia Kids have provided, and continue to provide for your children and your family. The whole team, across all areas...
Great food, amazing attentive care, lovely friendly staff really appreciate everything they do here for children of all different needs.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, the staff appreciate hearing your comments.
I cannot praise Kamelia Kids enough for the care they provide for my daughter. Two particular staff members are brilliant SEN support and have advocated brilliantly for my daughter. The staff have been brilliant over the last nearly 3 years my daughter has attended across her toddler and preschool years. Kamelia Kids have supported me through some really difficult challenges with my daughter on her road to an Autism diagnosis. The staff are great with the kids have a genuine interest in ensuring the kids are happy and healthy. I'll be so sad to say goodbye in September when my daughter starts school!
Thank you for your feedback, it really makes a difference to us knowing how the nursery team have support your daughter and you.
Kamelia Kids Day Nursery has been really helpful in my son's development. I am a proud mum because of their help ensuring that l have peace of mind as l go to work. They have offered more help in getting him ready for school in September. My son was very shy and quite when he started, they have groomed him to be a confident boy. He's now a chatter box as his speech has improved. Thank you Management and staff for your continued support.
Thank you for your detailed feedback, we are so happy to know that you are pleased with your child's development.
We love Kamelia Kids. The staff are super friendly and helpful and my daughter has thrived since being there. The consistency of staff is appreciated and grateful for the support and advice for issues both at nursery and home. They have gone out of their way to help our daughter, prioritising her wellbeing and limiting change around the time her sibling was born by accommodating her in her new room early- taking a weight off us!
Such lovely feedback, thank you. It's really good to know how friendly the team are.
My daughter has been attending Kamelia Kids since April 2023. I was drawn to the nursery as a not-for-profit charity with compassion and motivation for the best interests of all the children. The staff are incredible, genuinely showing an interest in our daughter, her interests and developments as well and you can see the genuine connection she has with so many. We have valued and found each handover to be supportive, informative and authentic. The admin is always responsive and has always tried to accommodate where possible requests when needed to change days or add ad hoc days. Thank you for making the nursery a supportive and comfortable transition and experience.
It is lovely to hear how you feel about our amazing nursery. Being a charity with a focus on children and families is at the heart of all we do.
My son has been attending Kamelia since June 2023, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff have been brilliant; they have gone above and beyond for us. I would highly recommend Kamelia to anyone in need of a great local nursery.
Thank you for your detailed feedback; the team really do appreciate you taking the time to provide a review.
We chose Kamelia Kids for our nursery because from the moment we stepped through the door on an open day, we were welcomed with a bright and open space, friendly staff, plenty of engagement for our child and generous outside areas suitable for each age group. Since attending, it’s only cemented our first impression as we’ve found our child learning new skills and greatly increasing their confidence.
We appreciate your time in giving us such detailed feedback about the nursery and the environment.
The staff is lovely and really cares for the kids. Our son learns a lot there and the staff always makes time to tell us about his day. They know the kids well and help them through their different phases (terrible 2s, etc).
The kids also have the option of spending a lot of time outside if they choose to.
We appreciate you taking time to provide a review.

Meet the Team (12)
I enjoy sharing my fountain of knowledge and experiences, and I will ensure that the children are at the centre of every decision. I am committed to providing a safe and stimulating environment that supports the children to develop and be ready for their next stage in learning. I aspire to lead the nursery team to deliver outstanding childcare.
I have worked in early years for 30 years, spending the last 15 years as a nursery manager.
I am passionate about empowering children to become autonomous and resilient, and ready for the next stage of their learning. I support and encourage children to become independent, think for themselves and have a ‘can-do’ attitude.
I am passionate about making a difference to our children and families and do this by reflecting, evaluating, and adapting practice.
I joined Kamelia Kids in January 2023 and have worked in the early years for over 10 years. During this time, I have gained many skills through experience and training, and I continually pass on my knowledge to my colleagues to enhance their knowledge to be the best they can be.
What I love most about my profession is being a positive role model to children, supporting them to use their own imagination to be creative, and listening to their wonderful ideas. I love creating a nurturing environment that encourages them to explore through play and learn through their own experiences to reach their full potential.
I have worked in early years education since 2007 and am currently one of the Deputy Managers at Kamelia Kids, where I began in July 2025. I hold Level 3 qualifications in Early Years Education, Special Educational Needs Coordination, and Forest School Leadership.
Throughout my career, I’ve gained experience in eight different settings, each shaped by its own unique educational ethos — including Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and other child-led, holistic approaches. These experiences have helped shape my flexible and reflective practice.
With several years of leadership and management experience, I am passionate about empowering children and their families, supporting staff development, and creating inspiring learning environments. I am a strong advocate for outdoor learning, the child’s voice, and practices that nurture confidence, independence, and curiosity in every child.
I also have a keen interest in mental health and trauma-informed practice, and I strive to embed these principles into everyday practice to support children’s emotional well-being and resilience.
Since leaving school, I have worked in early years in a variety of nurseries and positions. I love working with all the children, seeing and supporting their development. I enjoy supporting the nursery team and new staff to develop their skills and see them progress within their career.
I am an Early Years Teacher with a deep passion for working with young children, a journey I have been on since 2007. Since joining Kamelia Kids in early 2022, I have continued to be inspired every day by the wonder and excitement in the children’s eyes when they learn something new. Their curiosity, engagement, and joy in exploration never cease to amaze me and remind me why I love this work so much.
I joined Kamelia Kids in March 2026 and have over 17 years of experience working in childcare. I have worked in 4 nurseries where I have learnt a lot of skills and have developed my knowledge. I also have 8 years of experience working as a nanny.
My skills have evolved over the years, caring for and educating children from 8 weeks old to their teen years. I come from a huge family and have loved growing up with younger children and extended family.
It has been my passion for as long as I can remember to support children in their development, watching them progress and achieve their interests and skills.
I began working at Kamelia Kids in October 2019 as a Relief Educator. Since then, I have completed my Level 3 Apprenticeship and progressed to my current role as Lead Educator in the Poppy Room (Toddlers). I am now studying towards my Level 5 qualification to continue developing my skills and knowledge in early years education. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience working with both toddlers and preschool-aged children. I’m passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families, supporting each child’s learning and development. I particularly enjoy engaging the children through storytelling, conversation, and outdoor play in the garden.
I joined Kamelia Kids in July 2024 and have over five years of experience working in childcare. During this time, I have developed my skills across three different nurseries, caring for and educating children aged from four months to four years.
I am passionate about supporting children from their first day at nursery through to their last, and I love watching the progress and developmental milestones they achieve along the way.
I have worked in childcare for over 10 years. I started as bank staff at my previous employer, and worked my way up to become deputy nursery manager, completing my level 3 qualification in the process.
I am very passionate about supporting children in being their best possible selves and giving them the best chance to thrive when transitioning to school.
I have worked within the Early Years sector for over 30 years in both Specialist and mainstream settings and bring a wealth of experience to my role.
I recognise that each child is a unique individual and will do all that I can to ensure that every child, no matter what barriers they may face, is supported to reach their full potential.
I have been working in childcare/early years for over 20 years. I love to watch how children grow and develop through play. This fosters the development of language, socialisation, and creativity. This is all in readiness for the next stage of their development as they transition to school. Being part of this next stage of their development is extremely rewarding.
