The nursery is great! It has been renovated and looks nice, clean and with plenty of activties to do like football, tennis, dancing ect. They also have an incredible team. They are professional, always are very friendly and easy to talk to them. Evie she is one of the best, she is a very
professional friendly and lovely young lady, she also keeps an eye on any of the kids who are struggling to eat like my daughter, she cares deeply and is always making sure to provided something else for my daugther when she doens't want to eat the food.

A really lovely team in the baby room, they have done a great job of helping our daughter gain confidence in attending nursery, have helped us work on her weaning, her language development and seem genuinely invested in her.
The overall management has been refining their approach to make sure
staff have as much capacity as possible to focus on the babies.
We love hearing about the variety of activities and experiences our daughter is having when she is away from us and are delighted with the fun bits of art she brings home with her.

Dropping off your kids at nursery can be a daunting thing - but I have two kids at Kingsmead who literally skip in every morning (We have even had tears as they didn't want to go home!). All the nursery staff are amazing and really go above and beyond to look after the kids. There is a variety of
exercises from arts and crafts, playing in the construction room to football in the garden. I'm really impressed that for a pre-schooler my son is gaining in confidence with his counting and skills. Even being able to start writing his name.

Overall we are very happy with this nursery, both of our daughters love the staff and they really enjoy the range of creative and messy play activities. We are very pleased with the facilities and the very caring attitude of the staff.

We have had our three boys at Kingsmead over the last 3 years and our boys have absolutely loved their time there. The garden is brilliant and the exposure to different activities and learning experiences has been so wonderful to see. They have come out confident, Independent and caring young boys.
Would definitely recommend it.

Kingsmead has been amazing for the development of our little boy! I am always amazed at how much he learns developmentally and socially through the nursery. He is always happy and spends a lot of time outdoors playing which has been one of my favourite parts of the nursery. They go on outdoor walks
to see the ducks and explore. The staff have been phenomenal and such a joy to work with. My son runs to them in the morning to grab their hands and as a parent, I couldn't ask for more!

Our son loves Kingsmead, he has been there since he was 6/7 months old and is now 3.5. For a city centre nursery, I am amazed at the amount that they do during the day, especially outside (come rain or shine) which is our little boy's favourite place to be.
He is always creating, learning and
playing. He speaks fondly of the staff, who are patient and always on hand for a cuddle or a laugh. It does feel like they know and want to know your children. Everyone gets involved and the children collaborate together forming really lovely friendships across all ages.
It's a big decision choosing to send your child to nursery. To be able to trust in others to support and care for them, in the same way that you do. We are so pleased with how happy our boy is every day to go to Kingsmead and to come home and tell us of his adventures.

We are incredibly happy with our experience at Kingsmead Nursery. Both of our kids attended, and we couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention they received so far. The staff is genuinely caring, always making sure each child feels safe, happy, and engaged. The range of activities provided
is amazing, offering a perfect blend of fun and educational experiences. Our kids are always excited to go to nursery on their designated days, which speaks volumes about how much they enjoy it there.
Additionally, the initial settling-in sessions were handled wonderfully, making the transition smooth and reassuring for both our children and us as parents.
We highly recommend Kingsmead to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their children.

Our daughter has been at Kingsmead for nearly a year now in the Bears room and will shortly be transitioning to the toddler room. We've been so impressed with the staff to date. They are constantly thinking of new and creative activities for the children to take part in, and are always so welcoming
and attentive. It's so reassuring to know that when you drop off your child, that they are going to have a fun, welcoming and safe place to learn and develop.

My daughter joined Kingsmead in September 2023 and absolutely loved it. It was a big change for her (and me) to stay the whole day at the nursery but the staff there is absolutely amazing and incredibly supportive. They have individual approaches and help children to develop in the way suited for
them. It was a pleasure to watch her confidence and independence grow. Thank you so much!

A truly remarkable nursery! My children simply love going and seeing all their friends. They spend a lot of time outside doing all sorts of things from tennis to 'selling ice creams' or building buses with wooden blocks.
The staff are caring, supportive and wonderful. They come up with all kinds of
fun daily activities and when your child comes home covered in paint - you know that they have had the best day!

The team at Kingsmead are phenomenal and we are so happy with the care that our little boy receives. It is such a big decision when choosing a nursery for your little one but we were made to feel welcome and well informed from the very beginning. Our little boy jumps out of our arms as he arrives
each day and this is a huge compliment to the whole team at Kingsmead. The amount and variety of activities are astounding and he seems to learn something new each week which is wonderful to see. We couldn't be happier. A huge thank you to everyone at Kingsmead.

My daughter is coming up to a year at Kingsmead, in the bears (under 2s) room and will soon be moving to the bigger room. She has had an amazing first year, seems to be developing enormously and has had such a brilliant time with the team at Kingsmead. She has bonded with her key workers as well as
the wider team and has become very comfortable at Kingsmead. They are friendly, caring and thoughtful and the updates and very thorough and cute!
29 July 2024
Both of my children have been at Kingsmead and I have always felt that it has been so good for them. The management and staff make a huge amount of effort to create a lovely, stimulating and nurturing environment with lots of fun activities and events for the children. They have always been very
accommodating e.g. offering extra settling-in sessions for our son who we knew would take a little while to settle, reading his favourite book over and over again, offering lots of comfort etc. Hats off to the staff who are so caring in a difficult job!
29 July 2024
We have 2 children at Kingsmead, one who joined half way through their nursery journey and one who has been there from the start.
Both are completely different characters and Kingsmead goes above and beyond to try and support them as individuals. They have a wide range of activities and help
support developmental growth in all aspects.
However, the things which is most telling about the care they receive there, is the way they happily run in every morning greeting their key workers with big smiles and come home desperate to tell us all about their day.
We have regular meetings and the team are always available for more in depth chats should any niggles arise and work with parents to find the best solution for these curious little minds!

We couldn't be happier! Our daughter has been here for 1 year now (from 8 months) and enjoys every minute.
The staff are great and our little one has developed a real bond with them.
We're always amazed at how many activities they get through in the day and the menu is great.
Could not recommend
more highly.

Cannot praise Kingsmead highly enough. Our daughter has a lot of allergies and was food-averse when she started. The staff have been amazing - they've totally transformed her eating and she loves her time there. Fantastic outdoor space given its central location, and frequent trips to the
park/playground, but what makes Kingsmead great is its incredible and caring staff. Thank you!

Our 17-month-old has been with Kingsmead since he was just 6 months old and it's really become a home from home for him. If anything he's probably more excited to be in nursery! The level of care he gets has far surpassed all expectations and the variety of activities is incredible. He learns a lot
from nursery and comes back with new sign language and words frequently. Far more than a being just childcare, even at his young age Kingsmead has really contributed to his development and happy little personality, creating security and a family feel. We are so grateful.

After a move from the states, our son finished up pre-school at Kingsmead Day Nursery in August 2021. He was warmly welcomed into the Kingsmead Day Nursery community and loved the fun activities he participated in (arts and crafts, dance, sports, baking etc). He was well prepared by the fantastic
staff to start year R. Our daughter then started in the baby unit in August 2021 and based on her excitement when we drop her off, loves it. We have been very impressed by the creativity that goes into the planning at Kingsmead Day Nursery, even for the littlest ones (trips to the park, painting for earth day, baking etc.). The staff is super attentive and have taken the time to get to know her - they even know her favourite song - “row row row your boat”. The garden is awesome and well maintained and the kids go out quite often. The communication is great and we get updates through blossom (+pictures) which has been super helpful. Overall, we absolutely love the staff and the nursery!

My daughter really loves being at Kingsmead Day Nursery. She enjoys the activities and is very stimulated by her time there. The staff are really switched on and know each child very well. The pre-school unit seems a bit cramped but the baby unit is very spacious. The garden is really lovely and
well-appointed. My daughter has been at Kingsmead since she was 6 months old and has always loved it.
