I cannot recommend Creative Kids in Shenfield enough! Both my children have attended and the care and support they've received has been absolutely incredible.
When my eldest attended, she was showing signs of autism but didn't yet have a diagnosis. The team were so understanding, patient and supportive
from the very beginning. They really took the time to get to know her, support her needs and work closely with us as parents. It made such a difference during a time that could have felt very overwhelming, and I will always be grateful for how much they cared and advocated for her.
Now my 18 month-old attends and the same warmth and kindness is there every single day. The staff are genuinely caring, attentive and create such a nurturing environment for the children. It's clear they truly love what they do.
It's such a reassuring feeling knowing both of my kids are in a place where they are understood, supported and encouraged to thrive.Thank you to the whole team for everything

We're so pleased with Creative Kids Shenfield. The staff are brilliant with our little boy and it's clear he feels happy and comfortable there. He genuinely enjoys going, which is always reassuring as a parent.
The girls look after him so well and create a really warm, and supportive environment. They
organise lots of different activities for the children, which keeps them engaged and learning through play.
We've also noticed a difference in our little boys development particularly the last couple of months, and I know this is all through the support he has at nursery. His character and confidence is growing too, and it's lovely to see how much he is thriving there.
We're very grateful to the staff for the care, attention, and effort they put into looking after and supporting the children there. Thank you ladies!

Wonderful management and staff. My grandson is safe, happy and has progressed so much, despite only starting a month ago.
The staff are great with him and genuinely care and support his emotional wellbeing and encourage his development. He learns something new each session and we are updated electronically
(with pics and words) during each session. Staff are always happy to chat and answer questions. Staff and management have been incredibly supportive of us as a family.
Could not rate high enough!

Creative Kids is a fantastic nursery that I would highly recommend. My children absolutely love attending and speak so warmly about all the staff and the wide range of engaging activities they take part in each day. The team are always friendly, approachable, and informative at collection time, keeping
us updated on how the day has gone. The building itself is clean, well-maintained, and feels very safe and welcoming. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

We couldn't be happier with this nursery! From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. The teachers are absolutely fantastic - nurturing, patient, and truly invested in each child's development. It's clear they love what they do, and it shows in the happy, positive
environment they create every day.
Our son is absolutely thriving. We've seen such wonderful progress in his confidence, communication, and social skills since he started.
The team are also incredibly helpful and approachable. Communication is excellent, and they always take the time to listen and offer support or advice when needed. It really feels like a partnership between parents and staff.
We feel so grateful to have found such a caring and dedicated nursery. We would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and inspiring place for their child to grow.
Thank you Creative Kids Shenfield

My son absolutely loves Creative kids- the staff are so kind and always make so much effort every week to educate, play and come up with so many creative ideas of themes of the week-
The effort that went into the Christmas nativity for three year olds was amazing!!
My son talks about the staff as
his best friends. I can't wait for my next son to start this year too!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved to the area in May 2025, and my daughter started here at the age of two. She had previously attended a well-known nursery, so we some experience to compare the two. I've been incredibly impressed with the staff - truly lovely warm friendly women, the quality of care, and the facilities at Shenfield.
What
stands out most to me is the spacious outdoor area and how often the children are taken outside, both in winter and summer, for fresh air and play. It's wonderful to see how much they prioritise outdoor time.
I would highly recommend Shenfield to other parents-just be sure to join the waiting list early, as spaces fill up quickly.

We have had a wonderful experience at Creative Kids. Our son has been attending the nursery since March 2024 and we have been very impressed with the teaching staff across all the rooms our son has moved through over the last two years and the management team also. The facilities available to him are
also great. The staff have been very supportive and our son really enjoys his time at nursery. There are a good mix of activities completed throughout the day and the access to football classes in the week and dance is great as our son has moved to the older class. The playground for the children is a great size and well thought out with a lovely little library room within it also. We would certainly recommend the nursery to other parents for their children and have done so on several occasions. Keep up the great work Creative Kids!

A fantastic nursery - my son has been attending since he was 1 year old and is so happy and thriving at the nursery. The staff are amazing and create the perfect balance between a caring, nurturing environment whilst focusing on children's development. The menu is varied and lots of different activities
including a dance and football coach coming in every week. Such fantastic facilities and events throughout the year. Couldn't recommend more!

One of my children previously attended Creative Kids in Shenfield and the other currently does. I feel so lucky they've attended this nursery. The staff care so much and there's a real variety of fun activities. They teach the children important skills such as sitting down together and eating themselves,
as well as phonics, maths etc. Both my children have been so happy and gained so much from Creative Kids. It's wonderful knowing they're safe and being given lots of care and attention from the wonderful staff there. All staff, from cleaning, cooking, nursery staff and management all seem to really care about delivering an excellent experience for the children.

Harry, has absolutely thrived at this nursery. From the moment he joined at 9 months old, he has been welcomed with kindness, patience, and genuine care. The staff take the time to really get to know each child, and it shows in how confident, happy, and settled he is.
The learning environment is fantastic-engaging,
creative, and perfectly suited to curious little minds. Harry comes home excited to tell us the friends he has played with, and all the new things he has learned. We've seen such positive development in his communication, independence, and confidence.
What truly stands out is how nurturing and supportive the team are. They communicate brilliantly with parents, celebrate each child's achievements, and create such a warm, family-like atmosphere. It's clear that Harry feels safe, valued, and encouraged every day.
We couldn't be happier with the care and attention he receives. A huge thank you to the team for giving Harry such a wonderful start!
Reply from Emma O'Doherty, Manager at Creative Kids Nursery BrentwoodThank you so much for the lovely review. We take great pride in all the children in our care! And it's also lovely to hear that's it doesn't go unnoticed by our families.
Thank you again.

As a mum, handing your little one over to someone else's care is one of the hardest things you'll ever do.But from the very beginning, the team have gone above and beyond to make the transition not only smooth, but truly special.
They took the time to really get to know my little boy - habits,needs,
his unique personality - and tailored their care in the most thoughtful and attentive way. Just two weeks in, and he's already running into the arms of Millie, Brooke, Grace, and Nicole (apologies if I've missed anyone - you're all amazing!).
What felt like one of the hardest moments has been transformed into a beautiful experience, all thanks to the genuine love, empathy, and nurturing care that comes so naturally to every single member of staff.
I'm already seeing such wonderful development in my little boy - from his confidence to his communication - and it's clear that the work they're doing with him is making a real impact.
I honestly couldn't have asked for more.

I feel incredibly lucky and grateful that my daughter has had the chance to attend Creative Kids Shenfield. As her nursery journey comes to an end with school starting in September, it's the perfect moment to reflect on the truly wonderful experience she's had.


The entire team has been amazing-always

kind, caring, and genuinely committed to the children's wellbeing and development. A special thank you to the manager, whose leadership sets such a positive tone throughout the nursery. We're also especially thankful for 4 other staff members who are my daughter's absolute favourites have each played a big role in making her days so joyful, nurturing, and fun.


It's clear that the staff always have the children's best interests at heart, and the warm, supportive environment they've created has made a lasting impact on our little one. I couldn't have asked for a better start to her early years.


Thank you, Creative Kids Shenfield, for everything!

Creative Kids is a friendly, fun and educational nursery that has brought out the absolute best in my son.
He has been attending since he was 10 months old, and I have always felt he was safe, looked after and nurtured.
In his current room, I am sent daily updates with photos of all the activities
he is enjoying, and he is now on his way to being fully potty trained - thanks in no small part to their efforts. He has grown and developed so much in his time there.
The staff always have time to help and provide advice when needed, and they support the local community such as the recent charity food bank donation.
The girls there feel like family and my son loves them all - its so nice they have watched him grow through the years.
I would recommend to anyone.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.965)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.965) out of 10 for Creative Kids Nursery Brentwood 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.965 for Creative Kids Nursery Brentwood is calculated as follows: ( (278 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.965
  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 Creative Kids Nursery Brentwood is based on 24 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 115 number of registered child places is 23, which has been reached with 24 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.
