We cannot thank the entire team at Sidcup day and forest nursery enough for the exceptional care they provided to our daughter in the baby room. From the very beginning, they supported her development with so much warmth and patience. They carefully nurtured her milestones and encouraged her
curiosity, independence, and wonderfully strong personality.
Communication was always thoughtful and reassuring. With very detailed reports semi annually of her progress.
Her transition into the toddler room was incredibly smooth, a real testament to the preparation and care she received in the baby room. We are so grateful for the strong foundation the team has given her and would highly recommend the nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment.

Thank you to all the staff at baby room for looking after my youngest daughter. When she arrived in the class, she was just past her first birthday and was yet to take her first steps - but staff made sure she was continuously involved in all the activities with the other children, often giving her
a helping hand when she needed it before she found her feet. She's loved the interactive side of the classroom, dancing, singing and playing, which she has brought home with her. Staff created a brilliant relationship with her, made her feel welcome and she couldn't wait to join her classmates every morning, often rushing in without saying goodbye and looking forward to the day ahead.
My eldest child will be leaving this year after beginning her journey in the baby room shortly after her first birthday. She entered the nursery not knowing anyone and quite nervous - but the staff made her feel so welcome and she quickly made friends. We've loved seeing how she's grown since attending nurse

Thank you so much for making our experience (with our first child) starting at nursery such a smooth, supported and enjoyable one. Our daughter has settled in so well and has loved all of the fun activities you do, the variety of food on offer and the fabulous staff. It's really comforting knowing
she enjoys her time at nursery and has built great relationships with the team.
We have also felt very supported as parents, with great communication from the team, always happy to answer our questions or discuss any developmental concerns we have had.
Many thanks for all the hard work you and your team put in to support the children and running engaging sessions. Our daughter has come along so much since starting at nursery and it's so wonderful to see.

When my daughter started nursery, we were quite nervous as to be expected. My child was breastfed and very close to me (mum) before starting so the transition was difficult for her. She also has a particular temperament which means she tends to be louder and often more active then others her age.
The baby room team were so patient and care oriented with both baby and us as parents. They took the time to get to know baby personally, to respond expertly to her needs and offer her comfort. They encouraged her bold and curious personality and ensured that activities satisfied her interests whilst aiding her development. You can tell there is a lot of love for the children in their care. It made our daughters transition seamless, and in the 6 short months since joining she is now talking, climbing, signing and interacting with so much more confidence. I am very grateful for the time and care they put in to support my daughter's early experience .

We were very happy with our experience with the baby room. The staff is lovely, the app and daily updates well run and our son loved it!
We could see his learnings every week and he was very happy being dropped off in the mornings.
He attended 4 days a week and the nursery was very accommodating
for swapping days around with enough notice if needed.
We would have liked to be introduced to new staff members as there was a bit of change throughout the last few months.

My daughter recently moved to Tots room after eight months in Baby room. Although she took a little while to settle into the nursery initially after having just been at home with family, the staff were always lovely and reassuring. They always kept us updated on how she was getting on and we never
had any concerns about how well she was being looked after, and once she was settled she loved her time in Baby room. She developed lots of new skills and confidence during her time there. Thank you to all the team!

Our son started in the baby room at Sidcup Day Nursery and we honestly couldn't be happier. Since joining, he has learned so much - from recognising colours and animals to using a few Makaton signs to communicate, which we think is amazing. He has also built lovely relationships with both staff and
peers, which has been so special to see. The staff are fantastic - always welcoming us with energy and warmth at drop-offs and pick ups, and constantly coming up with creative activities that make learning fun. We love the regular photo and video updates; it's such a joy to see him singing, playing, and joining in, while the app updates on meals, naps, and nappies give real peace of mind. The nursery itself is brilliant, with spacious rooms and a great outdoor area, including a sheltered space for the summer. Most importantly, our son has gained so much confidence since starting here and is always happy to go in, which says it all.
30 September 2025
My daughter recently completed her time in the baby room at the nursery. The current staff are very attentive and I had no worries about leaving her there full time. I felt reassured that she had enough attention and great care. My daughter had such a wonderful start to her nursery journey thanks to
your care and dedication. I always felt completely at ease knowing she was in such attentive hands.
You always through of a wide range of activities you offered from sensory play and messy activities to music, outdoor time, and creative crafts - it was clear how much thought went into keeping them all engaged and happy. The food was always well thought out and a real verity. You kept me up to date at pick up and I knew she was well looked after.
Thank you to the whole team!

We could not be more pleased and confident in our decision to send our daughter to Sidcup Day Nursery. The staff work incredibly hard to create a real home from home environment, and they all made incredible bonds with our daughter. The care, support and range of daily activities are all amazing.
She developed hugely in confidence and skills while at the nursery and was always so excited to go in each morning. We could not recommend the nursery more highly.
28 August 2025
As our daughter moves onto primary school, we say farewell to this wonderful nursery. Our daughter has thrived at Sidcup nursery going through each room with love, encouragement and kindness, since she joined shortly after her first birthday. She has developed wonderful life skills and amazes us
each day with her vocabulary.
We could not have wished for a better start to our daughter's education. As a Key Stage 1 primary school teacher, I would certainly recommend this nursery.
02 July 2025
I would certainly recommend this nursery extremely highly. I have two children attend this nursery and We have the best experience. The teachers are the sweetest.They have all been so amazing with both of my children who attends this nursery. My daughter had attended a different nursery prior and we
changed to this nursery and so when i had my son I sent him to this nursery at 6 months old as well due to our positive experience. I have no regrets in fact I regret not finding this Nursery earlier! I have no complaints my children absolutely love the nursery and adored the teachers and management. Special thanks to two members of staff. When my kids are at the nursery i have my peace of mind as it feels like home.

Since my daughter joined the nursery, she has developed more confidence and doing really well. She cried so much in her previous nursery but with sidcup day nursery and forest school she didn't take long to settle once she gets that lovely morning cuddle and she knows all the staff by name. Their
visits to the farm is a fantastic experience for her. All in all, it has been a relaxed journey for myself as an anxious mum.

We highly recommend this nursery for its outstanding approach to early childhood education and care. The staff are incredibly supportive, nurturing, and attentive, always creating a warm and welcoming environment for the children.
The range of activities offered is exceptional sports day and
engaging dance classes that encourage physical activity, teamwork, and creativity. The outdoor space is truly impressive, providing children with plenty of room to play, explore, and develop their physical skills.
Additionally, my son loved the nursery's forest school is a fantastic feature, giving children the opportunity to connect with nature, learn about the environment, and enjoy hands-on, outdoor learning experiences.
Overall, this nursery offers a wonderful balance of care, education, and enrichment activities, making it a fantastic choice for any family.
12 February 2025
Management and the entire Baby Room Team, I can't thank you enough for the incredible care and love you've shown my child. It truly means the world to me. I know she can be a little madam sometimes (and definitely strong-willed!), but you've nurtured her with such kindness and understanding. Seeing
her grow into the strong, independent, and loving little lady she is today is all thanks to your dedication. I'm so grateful.
From my child's very first day, she was completely at ease with you. She absolutely adores you all, and honestly, so do I! It's such a comfort knowing how much she loves being with you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making her transition to nursery so smooth and positive. You gave me the confidence to leave her in your care and return to work, knowing she was happy and loved. That's the most precious gift a parent can ask for. I'll be forever grateful.
With love and appreciation.

Our little girl started at Sidcup Day Nursery in the Tots room in September 2024 after having to move suddenly due to a prior nursery unexpectedly closing down.
She's absolutely thriving at the nursery! The staff are all wonderful and so friendly. She loves the crafts and running around with her
friends in the lovely outdoor space, and devours all the delicious meals. And she's a huge fan of the weekly dance class too!
She's come home singing songs, identifying colours, and picking up her counting and alphabet, and she's not yet 2!
As a family we've also loved the Nativity play in the local church, and her art from the year is now hanging on the walls.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Sidcup Day Nursery and Forest School for making her transition so smooth and settling her in so well.
04 December 2024
As a parent, it's been a joy to watch my child grow and become so independent at such a young age. She always comes home happy, and we can see how much the staff genuinely care about her. She often speaks so positively about them, which reassures us about the supportive environment she's in.
The
staff have been fantastic in helping us with key transitions, from potty training to managing her fussy eating habits. It's no exaggeration to say that they truly help each child flourish. Their experience, warmth, and dedication give the entire nursery a wonderful family feel. We are really happy with experience in the nursery.
27 November 2024
When my daughter joined the school she had just gotten into the UK from Africa. English was the least of her worries, she was clueless and could neither speak or understand it but within a short space of time she now understands and is very confident in front of others. Though at 3 years she can't
read, she is now able to interpret pictures from story books. We look forward to yet another amazing year ahead with the nursery as EVERY member in the facility is loving and very patient with the kids.
12 November 2024
I'm so happy with Sidcup Day Nursery, my daughter loves going every day and she is thriving with her development. The staff are warm and caring and take care of all the specific requirements.
The cost is one of the most affordable out there which makes life that bit easier too.
Thank you to the
lovely team at Sidcup Day Nursery.
11 November 2024
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!
30 October 2024
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!
