Sidcup Day Nursery & Forest School

We are really happy with Sidcup Day Nursery, our daughter has been attending since September. The staff are very kind and friendly and always have a warm welcome. The garden is our daughter's favourite activity and she's often telling us about how she played in the mud kitchen, collected sticks and had hot chocolate around the log fire circle. The app allows you to follow your child's day-to-day activities and entries are updated with photos and a breakdown of food eaten that day etc. We would recommend this nursery to our friends and family. Thank you everyone!

I viewed a few nurseries around Sidcup and didn't get the feeling I wanted when I did the walk around. As soon as I went through the door here I felt the warmth. My baby girl started at just 7 months old (as I had to return to work) so you can imagine I was worried about leaving her with people that weren't family but all the ladies in the baby unit are just lovely. They care for my daughter like she's their own and they have such a good energy every day at drop-off and pick-up. My daughter goes to Rukky with no hesitation in the mornings she loves it so much. Thank you for making the experience so easy and comfortable. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

My son took a while to settle in at nursery but two teachers in particular and the rest of the teachers were very patient and persevered to help him get used to it. Now my son really enjoys coming to nursery to learn and play with his friends. Thank you baby room team!

As a parent, it's a huge comfort knowing my child is in such capable hands. If you're looking for a friendly and nurturing nursery, I very highly recommend Sidcup Day Nursery!

I cannot thank the staff enough for the care and attention that they have given and the peace of mind they have given me during my child's time there.

Thanks so much for a wonderful and positive experience.

I have had 2 children at the nursery, both have loved their time there and have left being totally prepared for school and having made lovely friendships. The staff are friendly and helpful. The trips and activities are wonderful. There is plenty of food variety and the garden is lovely.

I cannot recommend Sidcup Day Nursery enough! My son joined at 14 months old until he was 2.5 years old and in that time he flourished, his speech developed tremendously, he became more social and friendly, he learnt to like new nutritious foods and he just genuinely enjoyed going to nursery each morning. The nursery provided a varied, stimulating range of activities to do every day and I loved that they have a forest school so he could be outside with nature as well. The environment was made even more appealing due to the amazing staff working there, who were always smiling and welcoming, not only of my son but were also very friendly with myself and my partner. We were always kept in the loop about everything and albeit always professional, it genuinely felt like a little family. The team have really helped my son grow and thrive in such important years of his life and I will always be so thankful to them. I wish them all the very best and again, thank you!

The nursery staff are supportive and caring, my little one has settled in so well and is so excited to arrive each morning! The activities the babies participate in every day are varied and are designed with their development in mind. I’m so pleased with the food that the dedicated chef prepares each day, it’s exposed my baby to foods they haven’t had at home. I love that I’m kept up to date with how my baby is doing throughout the day via the app, and if there’s anything important I need to know about, the staff will call me promptly. There have been a couple of episodes of miscommunication but this is a busy nursery with lots of staff. Overall, I’m very happy with the nursery and my little one is thriving here!

From development skills to independence and the mud kitchen; my son comes home every day full of stories. As a parent, I love the daily updates on the app and also the friends he has made not only his nursery friends but all the parents and teachers too.

I will miss you all when she goes to big school next September.

Thank you.

The nursery is a warm and welcoming environment for both children and parents. It has a ‘homely’ feel and always the smell of good home-cooked food from the kitchen, with a good variety of meals. The staff are caring and professional and there are lots of activities for the children to do throughout the day and a high level of learning.

From the moment we walked into Sidcup Day Nursery, we knew it was the one! It has a lovely homely feel and the staff are all fantastic and showed a genuine interest in our son from the get-go and made him feel really welcome. They've created an inspiring, stimulating and playful environment which our son thoroughly enjoys, evident by the fact that bounds through the front door every morning! The facilities are excellent and our son loves the outside space (including the mud kitchen!) and the forest school is great for him to explore the outside and learn about nature. All in all, I can't recommend this place enough. It's given our son a great start, enabling him to make lots of friends, learn lots of new things and set him up for the next chapter when he starts primary school next year! Thanks to the whole team!

We have been sending our daughter to Sidcup Day Nursery since May 2023. We are having a great experience with this nursery. All the staff are always approachable and friendly. Our daughter is having a great time and she loves going to the nursery every day. We are looking forward to having more wonderful sessions and activities. I would highly recommend Sidcup Day Nursery to everyone.

Knowing the little one will be happy and safe during her time in the nursery puts our minds at ease while we are working throughout the day.

The nursery is very inclusive and children are exposed to a variety of cultures and mark different celebrations. All the staff are extremely personable and listen and respond to the needs of each child. The nursery has a huge outdoor space and the children go out into the garden every day. The daily activities are well-planned and never seem to repeat, allowing the children to explore their senses. My child absolutely loves the food, which is nutritious and varied. I am really glad that I sent my child here as they are thriving and can't wait to get in for breakfast in the morning!

Amazing nursery and pre-school, really helped build my daughter's confidence so she is ready for reception. The manager, the nursery manager and the rest of the team really are so caring and kind. I would highly recommend this nursery as I always knew my daughter was cared for and happy and on the days she was a-bit upset the manager was there to rescue the day.

Our daughter started at Sidcup Day Nursery in February 2023 when she was ten months old. The ladies looking after her are absolutely wonderful, we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives. We were originally at another nursery, but did not have a good experience and thus quickly made the decision to move to this nursery. I felt very apprehensive about the nursery environment based on the first experience, but Sidcup Day Nursery was everything I hoped the setting would be. Everyone is warm, nurturing and welcoming. The staff are really engaged with the children and seem to know all of their characters well. I’ve always found the ladies willing and happy to discuss care, food, naps etc. Our daughter naps and eats really well at nursery, the food always smells incredible at drop off! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sidcup Day Nursery.

Wonderful nursery with the most loveliest of staff. My daughter is always so excited to go and loves being there. They are well looked after and get the most fantastic care. I am extremely happy with this nursery and would recommend it to anyone thinking of sending their children there.
