Review from Susan G (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child goes to LKK one day per week. He absolutely loves it, he actually tries to get us out of the house to get there quicker! The staff are so professional, friendly and attentive. During the day there is a great selection of activities for the kids and a mix of indoor and outdoor activities when weather suits.

In Feb/March my mother in law was unwell. She normally looks after my son two days a week. The team were so accommodating, they assisted to make sure I got additional days until my mother in law was well enough. They were lifesavers at this time to ensure all my childcare needs were taken care off.

Great place for the kids, can't recommend highly enough.

Great nursery and very friendly staff. Lots of updates via the family app which is great. My little girl has come on leaps & bounds since joining LKK. They provide kids with plenty of fun and activities throughout the day and also have great outdoor space. The food plan is updated weekly and always has a great selection of nutritious meals provided. Would happily recommend this nursery!

Review from J P (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff are always so friendly and I trust them 100% with my kids. If they have any incidents I'm informed immediately and if they are a bit under the weather they always fully brief me when I collect them. I believe the staff genuinely care about my kids which gives me confidence they are in the best hands. In general, fees for nursery are high however it's not within the individual nursery's remit to control this, the government need to look at the fees!

Overall Experience

I'm really pleased with this nursery. My child took a long time to settle in but the staff persevered and now he is gaining confidence every week and seems to be enjoying his day. He definitely prefers the girls he normally has each week but they are so good at making sure they take him off me which helps him have a better start to his day.

My little boys just runs into nursery. The staff are beyond fantastic with the children. The amount they do in one day with the children is incredible! They are always in ratio, willing to help and give advice.

LKK plays a massive role in his life and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Review from T B (Father of Child) published on 4 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter absolutely loves going to Little Kingdom Kids and we have never had any issues. The staff are all lovely and take good care of our girl, and she is very comfortable with them. We get updates all day on how she is getting on, what she has eaten if she's gone to the toilet and nap times and we also get pictures throughout the day so we know she is doing well. The food is great and our daughter always eats well at the nursery. We can't fault the nursery.

Overall Experience

The staff are all lovely and they keep you well updated with pictures etc. throughout the day on the system. My daughter has been going since January 2023 and she loves it. Sometimes she will still have a little cry going in but I feel so at ease knowing she is in the best care and gets loads of extra cuddles when needed. The level of learning and daily activities are very high. They always have themed sensory trays etc. and feel nursery has played a massive role in her development. She has even been out on day trips. I would highly recommend Little Kingdom Kids.

Absolutely wonderful staff who really care about the children. Every day is different, plenty of free play but great organised activities too. It's a joy to send my child to them, and he loves going too. My child has allergies and I have complete peace of mind leaving him at Little Kingdom Kids.

Good settling in time period.

Our son absolutely loves going to nursery - jumping out of my arms as soon as we walk in. It gives me such delight to see him so happy with the staff and feel so comfortable. They are all excellent and caring, with so many different activities to do each day along with being able to keep in check with his home routine.

My daughter who was three at the time loved her time at Little Kingdom Kids Carrowdore. The staff were lovely and always had a smile for my daughter. She had lunch there and it was always freshly prepared and delicious. Great weekly menu. My daughter was always sad when she had to leave at pick up time. I would highly recommend Little Kingdom.

Overall Experience

My daughter attended Little Kingdom Kids Carrowdore for a few months and she absolutely loved it! Lots of different activities and games so she was always kept busy! The meals and snacks provided were amazing and I was able to see on the peekaboo app what exactly she was doing and when she was doing it. I had never left my children before and this was a big load off my mind because I could see she was having a great time, was playing loads and eating very well! My daughter always came home singing and even now when we drive passed the nursery she waves at the Manager and says that’s her playschool! So thank you all for welcoming her and making her feel very at home! You have made more of an impact on her than yous know and we are very grateful to you all. Very friendly and attentive staff makes all the difference!
