Overall Experience

My daughter loves going to KK every week! She has progressed from the toddler room to the pre school room and is thriving! Tells me so many stories every time I pick her up and has lots of fun! She loves her teachers and friends and always eats so well there too (much better than home lol) keep up the good work! I love hearing about her day and seeing them photos and updates! The staff are great and have so much for the kids to do and I have no worries at all when I drop my daughter off. Thank you!

Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have 2 children currently at Kindergarten Kids who started in October 2025. I also had my eldest here for 3 years prior to the current two so have had experience of all the different rooms within the business. The staff really do treat the children as their own and have a genuine care for them and their wellbeing. My children are happy going in and whilst there they do a range of activities. They are fed well each day with a range of meals and snacks provided (both are df which is catered for). Although they dont have their own proper outside space as such, Londonderry Park is utilised well. I would and have recommended Kindergarten Kids to other parents.

Great nursery, friendly staff! They have been very good with our twin boys, and they have also been very flexible and helpful!

Our boys only attend one day per week, but everyone always remembers their names and they are treated no differently to the kids in full time!

Review from Meghan O (Mother of Child) published on 3 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We've had such a wonderful experience with Kindergarten Kids for almost three years. From the very beginning, the staff made our daughter feel safe, happy, and excited to attend each day, which gave us real peace of mind as parents. The team are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children's development, and we've loved watching our daughter grow in confidence, social skills, and independence during her time there. The activities are always creative and engaging, and it's clear how much thought goes into supporting both learning and play. We're truly grateful for the love, attention, and support she has received, and we couldn't have asked for a better start to her early years.

Staff are very attentive, and Ezra has settled in so well. After his sister had such a great experience at Kindegarten, we're so glad Ezra is there too and have no concerns dropping him there when we're at work.

Review from Aoife D (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have just finished settling our daughter in and started regularly attending Kindergarten Kids and I am so impressed at how well they have handled everything. From reassuring us as first time parents to our daughter being comforted and feels safe with all the team. At 8 months old to be able to leave her in and she is excited and smiling we couldn't have asked for anymore!

Being kept up to date throughout the day and their quick response to communication is brilliant. Would highly recommend.

My daughter has been attending Kindergarten Kids for just over a month and I cannot recommend them enough! She has so much fun inside and out, eats well, and loves all her friends and 'teachers' The whole staff have been so lovely and helpful. I have had no issues at all and she looks forward to going every week and I am so comfortable knowing she is well looked after. Thank you all!

The team have been amazing with my son and have really brought him out of his shell. When he started he was just under 2 and had never been away from us. Thanks to the team, his confidence is growing everyday and he doesn't even look back for us anymore. Their patience and care is endless and I am thankful for everything they do.

Overall Experience
My 4 and 1 year old go to kindergarten, have been with them for over 3 years now and it's been the best decision for our family. My girls have really developed in so many ways, every member of staff go above and beyond for them.
Management and staff have been so accommodating to our situation, we are always kept well informed of how our girls are doing and the extra activities they put on at the holiday times are lovely to enjoy as a family.

Your kids are in good hands if they are with kindergarten.

Overall Experience
I couldn't be happier with my experience at Kindergarten Nursery. My daughter Belle started later than most, but she settled in so well, which really speaks volumes about the wonderful staff. They are incredibly kind, attentive, and supportive, making the nursery feel like a safe and nurturing place from day one. Belle now looks forward to going every day and comes home full of excitement, sharing lots of stories about the fun activities she's enjoyed. Knowing she feels happy and secure there gives me complete peace of mind, and I'm so grateful to the amazing team.

Thank you all so very much.

We love kindergarten. Our son moved nursery's when we moved back to NI and he absolutely loves it here. Every time we drive past he'd love to be dropped off. Thanks to all of the staff for making R feel so welcome and his nursery days so enjoyable! S
