Absolutely love Kindergarten Kids such a great nursery and would recommend to anyone everyone so friendly and my little girl loves going I love all the little updates you get throughout the day keeping me informed on how she is getting on
Peace of mind returning to work after maternity leave, knowing my little one is having an enriching and fulfilling day, learning social skills and making friends! Also to monitor and progress with milestones like talking, mobility, learning varied interactions with different toys, arts and sensory experiences!
My little girl absolutely loves Kindergarten Kids nursery! The activities are varied and the staff are brilliant with the little ones! The management team are always quick to respond if I ever have any queries and are all very approachable and friendly!
Our little boy started in February 2025 and we could not believe how quickly he settled which hands down speaks volumes for the staff. We are very grateful for the communication during the day with the Famly app. This makes being at work much easier alongside the photos we receive. He has brought home such beautiful craft, been on walks and has progressed so much in the little few months he has attended nursery. Management and staff are always so welcoming and we understand how much dedication, patience and time goes into their job on a daily basis. My little one also has allergies and knowing the attention to detail that goes into his meals and snacks gives me a huge peace of mind.
All staff and management are happy to give a full day run down of what the children have been doing, making it really feel like you know everything they have done with their day. The days are jam packed with activities, evidenced by the craft/art coming home.
Depending on the weather they take the kids for a walk (at least once!) and if the weather isn't suitable will have them playing in the big area at the back of the building. I have recommended to friends.
We've had a really positive experience so far. My son settled in surprisingly quickly, which I think is a real testament to the warmth and professionalism of the staff. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and clearly invested in the children's development.
The nursery provides a good variety of engaging activities that balance learning and play, and there's a nice routine that helps the kids feel secure. We also really appreciate the healthy meals and the attention given to each child's needs and preferences.
One small downside has been the quality of the photos we receive through the nursery's app. While it's great to get daily updates, the photos themselves are often blurry or poorly framed, which is a bit disappointing since they're our only real window into his day.
Overall, we're really happy with the care and environment the nursery provides, and most importantly, our son genuinely enjoys being there.
I could not recommend a better nursery to keep your child safe and well cared for. My daughter loves going to Kindergarten Kids, and it makes me feel at ease knowing she's in great hands. From signing up, to the settling in process and transitioning to full time days, the staff is so understanding and informative. Every time I go in for drop off the staff always greets my child so warmly; it's lovely to know they are so kind and caring. The app updates are great, definitely makes me feel reassured she's being well taken care of. The site itself is exceptionally clean and organised, and it's very apparent they do a lot of crafts and activities with the kids. Best nursery you can find in the Ards area!
Lovely, friendly staff who really care about the kids. Clean and tidy nursery with lots of toys and a variety of fun activities going on. I love getting artwork sent home! Food is healthy and varied. My son has made lots of friends and enjoys nursery so much!
As parents, we couldn't ask for more. Immediately the staff put us at ease and helped our little one settle in so quickly. The App is great for keeping us up to date with what our little one does each day. Thank you for making my transition back to work so much easier!
She has settled well and I love seeing the updates the team provide on the app and upon pick up.
They prepare freshly made lunches every day, can take the children out for park walks and I've also recieved some lovely paintings home from my little girl which are so special.
Great facilities and the staff are even better!
My little boy started here in July at 5.5months old, as a first time dad I was very nervous about leaving him and wondered how he would get on but he absolutely loves it. He settled amazingly and didn't fizz from the moment he went in and when I get him at the end of the night he puts his arms back out to the girls to go back to them. They have been brilliant with him and he gets so excited to go in each day. They are brilliant at following routines for my little man and nothing is ever too much of an ask. They are brilliant with updates and knowing he's in safe caring hands means the absolute world to me.
My son first started Kindergarten Kids in 2018, when he was 9 months old. Three years later my daughter started in 2021, when she was also 9 months old. Kindergarten Kids have not only been an amazing childcare provider for us, they have also always been on hand to provide any advice/assistance when needed. Both our children have absolutely loved going to Kindergarten Kids and we always know they are extremely well looked after and cared for when there. The staff are so dedicated to making sure the kids are always having fun with their many arts and crafts activities and time spent outdoors. We couldn't recommend them enough and thank them so much for all their help and amazing care to our children.
My daughter joined Kindergarten Kids just before she turned one and is now nearly four, she has enjoyed every minute! The staff are very caring and treat the kids like a big family. They have always been so supportive as we have reached every milestone, potty training, etc. They have created a great space for the kids, including the barn, and they are right beside the park. My daughter tells me about all the adventures of her day. I recently realised how much she has learned while at Kindergarten Kids as her transition to preschool was so smooth. We can't recommend Kindergarten Kids highly enough.
Outstanding childcare! Both my children have always thrived in their environment, the staff go above and beyond for the children and make it such a nice environment to be in, my kids always have a smile on their face going to and from daycare which really puts me at ease as a parent knowing my children are safe, happy and well looked after by an amazing team of workers. Thanks for all your hard work!
It is an amazing nursery for both of my children. My little boy started when he was 1 and is now nearly 4, my little girl started when she was 1 as well. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure your children are happy and comfortable at all times. They do lots of lovely activities and keep you well updated through the app. The facilities are brilliant but it is the staff who make it. The nursery also put on special events for Halloween and Christmas, with staff going out of their way to decorate and work at the weekend to provide a special time for the children. It's clear to see how much they care about the children. Thanks so much for keeping my babies happy and entertained, and for putting my mind at ease while I'm at work.
Kindergarten was highly recommended to me when looking for a suitable nursery for my now nearly 3-year-old. I was demented at the thought of leaving her for someone else to look after her but she has thrived! She absolutely loves it. She started in the baby room, is currently in toddlers, and is set to move to pre-school come Feb all the staff are amazing, and couldn't do enough even though I have them tortured. My baby girl who is 1 has been going from around 6 months and loves it too. Nothing is too much to ask and they both jump out of my arms when I bring them in. Both are meeting all milestones and it's down to the hard work of the staff across all the rooms. Thank you all so much.
The range of activities that they get up to is wonderful. from art activities in class to walks in the park and even a trip to the zoo.
The communication is fabulous. The app they use is really useful and helps answer some questions you might want to know by the end of the day.
I am very pleased we chose here and have recommended this nursery to friends.
Fantastic nursery and staff that go above and beyond for all parents and children, my son goes one afternoon a week and the difference in him is unbelievable he has learned so much, and he loves going to the nursery and runs straight in every week. All staff are very friendly and welcoming. My daughter who is now 16 attended kindergarten kids and now my 2-year-old son goes I wouldn't go anywhere else for childcare definitely the best day nursery by far!
I was very worried about my little boy going to any day care/nursery, but the staff were so lovely and very understanding of my worries and anxieties and my little boys. My little boy has been attending for a year now, and the changes I've seen in him have been such a breath of fresh air. His speech development, potty training, and becoming his own little person. I couldn't be prouder, and I can't thank the staff enough for everything. The staff have been so patient and caring, and have always tried their best to work with myself and my child. I couldn't recommend Kindergarten kids enough! The amount of support and advice I have received has been amazing and it really feels like a home-from-home environment. I'm so pleased to have my child attend.
So we are now 2nd time round with kindergarten kids, it was without a doubt that our second baby would go there. This is why, when we first met the employees at Kindergarten Kids they were fabulous, they made sure to not only look after our pride and joy but also take care of us 1st-time parents. They made sure to always check that we were happy with what they were doing with our son, keep us up to date with pictures, and update the app with all the information we would like to know. They were fantastic with our son and 2nd time around, it's like we are now family, they care for not only my son, and daughter but us as a family. The Christmas cards, the birthday cards, all the little details they do make it everything they are. I can go on about it all from the people themselves to the food to the amazing quality of their building and opportunities for our little ones. They help the little ones feel safe and dream big. Kindergarten Kids deserve to be recognised for how they run their childcare.
