Our son started nursery here when he was 8 months old and he has absolutely loved it since! We are so happy with the staff and care at Creative Kids Shenfield. He eats like a King here, and the activities they do are so lovely and varied. The facilities are brilliant.
I love the updates and we receive
and when we pick him up he is very happy.
Thank you

Would recommend creative kids Shenfield to all parents looking for a nursery in the area. We have had a positive experience from day one. The staff are fantastic, super friendly, fun and attentive to all the children and their needs. Excellent communication and regular photo updates of what your child's
been doing that day as well as what they have eaten. The chef is super at making healthy food more appealing for children and on special celebration days there may even be a homemade cupcake!
I've noticed a boost in confidence and development in my child due to all the activities they do from sensory play, outdoor fun, arts and crafts, phonics, numbers, football coach and now we are in pre school, preparation for primary school.
I really do feel they go above and beyond for each and every child.

My toddler attends the Shenfield branch and the staff are very caring, loving and calm. They have been very supportive with her settling also by encouraging the children to take part in various activities indoors and out. I love receiving regular photos of her day through the app. Thank you all. Suzan.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been so pleased with having our twins at Creative. The girls that work there are always so warm towards the kids and build such lovely, caring bonds with them. We always get detailed feedback at the end of the day and the extra details for Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day etc that goes into the
kids (and parents!) is really special. Our eldest went for a year (2022-2023) before we moved him to another nursery due to our circumstances at the time, and we always say we wish we'd kept him at creative. The twins love it there and are thriving and that is thanks to the staff there and the activites they do, attention given etc. One of the twins has a dairy intolerance and we've had to step back again on our progress and the staff have made sure that everyone is aware of what she can't have now. Cannot recommend this nursery enough.

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!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.968)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.968) 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.968 for Creative Kids Nursery Brentwood is calculated as follows: ( (337 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.968
  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 29 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 29 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.
