Review from E W (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little one had been at Kindergarten Kids for over a year and all the staff are super. They keep parents up to date throughout the day with photos and details of what they are doing that day.

The staff are all amazing with the kids and my child has formed such a strong bond with all the girls in her rooms.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Kindergarten nursery since she was one. I am so sad this is her last year before starting school in September. She loves going to nursery, has so much fun and always talks about the girls who look after her. They are so creative in learning activities, take them out daily to the nearby park for a walk, are so loving to my shy girl who has really came on leaps and bounds in confidence. They are so accommodating when I speak to them, send regular updates and are so patient with the children. 5 star nursery which I recommend to all my friends with young children.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 8 months old, and we've had such a positive experience throughout the years. The staff are always so lovely, caring, and attentive - it's clear they genuinely care about the children. She's now in the pre-school unit and absolutely loves it.

She looks forward to going in every day, and it's been amazing to see how much she's grown and learned in their care. I couldn't be happier with the support and environment they provide.

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!

Review from L M (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from H C (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of my children started Kindergarten kids as babies. I cannot credit it enough for the support it has been over the last 3 years. From support with settling the kids in when they started or as they have moved into different rooms to check ins through the day if they seem "off" some mornings and support with the dreaded potty training. The support also extends to me as a parent with staff and management being as flexible as they can be to last minute requests, whether it be swapping days or pick ups from pre school etc.
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.

Review from C M (Father of Child) published on 28 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from A E (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

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!

Review from Rebecca S (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Would highly recommend Kindergarten Kids. I have my little girl here and she loves it. It took a little while for her to settle in and during this time the staff were nothing short of wonderful, very patient with her (and an anxious mummy) and took things at her pace.
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!

Review from Ryan H (Father of Child) published on 3 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Emma C (Mother of Child) published on 31 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Carly D (Mother of Child) published on 27 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Jessica B (Mother of Child) published on 23 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.
