Kindergarten Kids Day Nursery provides five-star childcare for your little VIPs in fantastic, newly refurbished premises right beside Londonderry Park in Newtownards.
They care for babies from as young as 12 weeks up right up to after-schools in P7 Mon- Fri 7.30-6.30pm.        

VIPS need Very Impressive Playrooms to ensure they reach their full potential. The nursery's rooms are carefully designed to meet the age-appropriate development needs of each and every child.
        
Kindergarten Kids is there for each stage of your Child's journey as they grow and progress through each of the rooms. Each of the rooms is equipped with resources and toys perfectly matched to their stage of development.

Your child is looked after by caring staff who organise age-appropriate activities and will monitor your child's progress to ensure they are meeting their milestones and give you regular updates on their progress. The nursery is run by a team of caring, qualified and experienced nursery professionals who provide structured, safe, caring and stimulating environments to enrich children’s overall development with encouragement of independence, and social skills.         

The superb location on a main route in and out of Newtownards is convenient and allows us to use the fantastic facilities of Londonderry Park for daily walks and outdoor playtime.

They are available for Covid-safe show-rounds in the evenings after nursery closes where one of the experienced management team can show you their amazing facilities and answer all your questions.

Review from Jasmin H (Mother of Child) published on 1 September 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having been at a few nurseries, we were naturally anxious about starting over, however, our little boy has loved every minute at Kindergarten Kids. They treat him so well and we are kept really well updated throughout the day. Every member of staff knows him by name (even those who don’t work with him!)
- it really is a home away from home. We have already recommended Kindergarten Kids to so many of our friends, couldn’t speak highly enough of them!

From day one our daughter has loved going to the old location and the new premises. Now our second child has just started, it has been less stressful as we already know how good Kindergarten Kids is.
Have already recommended them to work colleagues who are pregnant.
Big thank you to all the staff
for the updates and images of the girls via their app. Nice treat when in work.

I have two boys at Kindergarten Kids (3 and 6) and they have been at the nursery from 7 and 9 months. They both love it! As parents we love the home-from-home care they get while we are both at work. Would highly recommend it to anyone in the area!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my sons have been attending Kindergarten Kids nursery for nearly two years now and I have to say all the staff are friendly, professional, helpful, and doing an amazing job, they have both received so much care and love from the staff. The boys are enjoying spending time outside in the park and
playground. I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic nursery. My daughter absolutely loves it and is kept entertained all day. The staff are brilliant and always helpful. The new premises have been finished to a really high standard and are right next to the park, so the children get plenty of time outdoors. Would highly recommend.

Kindergarten Kids have the best and caring staff that you would want for your children. Our 2 always look forward to going and we love to hear all about their action packed day at handover and also via the parents app, where you get to see what fun they have had and also how much they are learning.
Invaluable care and amazing staff.
Sterling job, it’s good to know our boys are in such great hands.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.952) out of 10 for Kindergarten Kids is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 63 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 63 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 4.952 for Kindergarten Kids is calculated as follows: ( (724 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 756 Ratings = 4.952
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindergarten Kids is based on 63 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) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 63 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
