There's plenty of room to play at Chiswick. Our preschool features huge indoor and outdoor play areas, expansive learning spaces and lots of natural light. We're the officially affiliated preschool for Chiswick Park, and the heart of the development is a one-minute walk from the center. Kido Chiswick is also just a two-minute walk from a nearby nature trail. This means children can enjoy hiking through the nature reserve.

May 20, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son absolutely loves his time at Kido’s Chiswick! I am so glad that we sent him to this nursery. His settling in process was seamless. This is testament to how warm, friendly and welcoming the Kido’s team are. He has formed an amazing bond with all of the nursery staff and is always so happy to see them. The team are also very supportive and accommodating. They recognise every child is different and really focus on his individual needs and skills. As such my son has thrived at Kido’s. He is exposed to lots of new activities, games, words, songs, life skills and so much more. His development has accelerated since starting there. I love that we get lots of messages and photo updates throughout the day and I really enjoy the catch-ups with the staff when we pick him up. The facilities are fantastic – always clean and tidy, with light open playrooms and a spacious outside space. The management team are great with communication – always super professional, informative, helpful and responsive.

November 15, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter has absolutely thrived at Kido Chiswick! We were very nervous about sending her to nursery as she spent most of the first year of her life in lockdown and not interacting with others. The settling-in process is fantastic at Kido and the staff really took their time to get to know our daughter and understand her. The staff are warm, caring and so helpful. I love the range of activities they have on offer – they’re extremely varied and exciting! The staff recognised areas to develop with my daughter and also really looked out for her best interests when moving her into a new room. She has really come on leaps and bounds – she’s so confident and happy. All thanks to the amazing staff at Kido.

November 26, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter literally loves being in the nursery. The team is amazing: extremely caring and kind.
They are very flexible and the communication is excellent.
We feel very pleased with the way our 8 month old daughter reacted to her new routine and definitely the environment in the nursery helped her to settle in.

December 16, 2021 at 12:00 amKido is a fantastic nursery that makes us all feel extremely welcomed! My son is a very shy child, which made settling, after lockdown, very challenging; but all members of staff were so understanding and patient that after 4-weeks, my son absolutely loves to go to nursery! All info on weekly activities is shared, and there are loads to get involved in, which gives a lovely familiar feeling to all of us. The space is great, feels like there is enough room for every child, and there is a gorgeous garden so that the children can have fresh air every day. Would definitely recommend!

January 14, 2022 at 12:00 amOur 1st child went to this nursery for a few months pre-school and when the time came to pick a nursery for his younger brother we were very happy to return to Kido. The facilities are great and both kids loved/love it! The staff is very nice and polite.

January 14, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little one joined Kido when she was 5 months old in October 2021. The most impressive things Kido provided to us are summarised below:
1. Brilliant setting-in session – my baby is extremely happy in nursery everyday!
2. Wonderful in nursery activities – I never thought there were so many cool stuff that a young baby can do! I always feel sorry for my baby at home as it is so boring v’s what nursery provides for her
3. Qualified and professional staff – I really appreciated the manager’s support as I am not an ‘easy mom’ and always ask for extra requests and share direct feedback; the manager always supports me and gives me satisfactory answers ; my little ones’ teachers are super nice and professional as well, they are brilliant and they look after my little one beautifully every day and also help us to set up my baby’s individual development plan;
A truly top-level nursery, and also reflected by their price.

January 24, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son started at Kido Chiswick in November 2021 when he was 11 months old. The nursery offered a great settling in schedule, taking it very slowly, increasing our son’s time at nursery every day – as a result, he settled in very quickly – adapting almost immediately to the nursery routine. All the staff are incredibly friendly and 2 months in our son is loving it! He seems very simulated and is really enjoying all the different activities the nursery does on a daily basis – as a result, he is progressing really well. He is very happy at drop off and pick up which is very reassuring. The nursery are also very organised which we appreciate – it makes working with them that bit easier and very stress-free! I could not recommend the nursery more highly!

January 24, 2022 at 12:00 amWe were impressed with the facilities and staff from the start. All rooms are large and situated on the ground floor. There is a covered garden that allows for kids outside play even on a rainy day. On the nursery app I get pictures of my daughter and can see how well she eats and sleeps. There are a lot of activities and international celebrations organised by the nursery on a weekly basis. Kids days are always varied with lots of imaginative sensory play, singing and reading. My daughter loves going to this nursery and I feel at ease knowing that she is well looked after.

February 10, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter joined the nursery when she was 13 months old, and being a lockdown baby, she had a really hard time the first few weeks. However, the staff were amazing with her and took great care of her. I was frequently updated via the app, especially in the first few days, which was extremely relieving. She is now 5 months in and loves going there.

March 29, 2022 at 12:00 amIncredible experience! I received a lot of support during the settlement process.
My little one enjoys the time she spends there. The app is incredibly useful and the weekly reports help to follow the kids progress.
Really happy with the experience so far.

April 11, 2022 at 12:00 amI have two children with Kido Chiswick, my eldest has been there since she was 18 months and my youngest has been there for a year starting in the baby room.
I have nothing but praise for Kido Chiswick who, throughout the whole of the very difficult last two years, have provided nothing but exceptional care for the children at the nursery. Filling their days with lots of fun while also enhancing and encouraging their education. My eldest will shortly start her primary school and I know she will be so ready for this next challenge thanks to the excellent teaching at Kido throughout her time there. They ensure that all their leavers are fully prepared for the challenges ahead.
The staff at Kido are wonderful, kind, generous with their time, thoughtful and always encouraging. Both of my kids have very strong bonds with their teachers and will be so very sad when it comes time for them to move on to their primary schools.

April 13, 2022 at 12:00 amSuper helpful and caring staff! From the first moments, I always felt at ease and knew my son was staying with a team that are more than good professionals – they are personable, loving, friendly and genuinely interested in the wellbeing of all children at this nursery. Thank you Kido Chiswick staff!

April 13, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves the staff at Kido. She says goodbye with a smile on her face and comes home full of energy after a long day. The nursery provides engaging and fun activities and kids often have some sort of choice as to which activity to join (e.g. water vs. sand). This gives them freedom and confidence.
The nursery is not overcrowded. The outside area is fantastic (a roofed garden) and practically usable pretty much all the time, despite the awful weather in the UK. Overall, highly recommended nursery. It is just on the pricy side for us, and I assume most working-class families.

April 20, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son has been with Kido since September last year and moving him there was the best decision we made. He has really come out of his shell, grown and developed in all aspects and is now a confident little boy. The staff are wonderful, happy to chat and listen to any concerns you have and happy to work with you to achieve the best for your child. They are very caring and build great rapport with the children. The subjects and things they learn stand them in great stead for school. Food is nutritious, varied and dietary requirements taken seriously and catered for.
Overall, I would highly recommend Kido Chiswick!

April 29, 2022 at 12:00 amIt has been a wonderful experience. At the beginning my wife and daughter were a bit anxious because they had never been separated (for almost 2 years). Both of them received a lot of support from the staff. Now my daughter loves to go to the nursery she is learning a lot, she eats by herself and enjoys a lot of different activities every day.

July 26, 2022 at 12:00 amI have no words for Kido nursery that would go far enough to describe how amazing they are to my two daughters, ages 1 and 3 and a half. Kido and the staff are a huge part of our family’s life and we adore them. The duty of care they give to the children as well as the formal education coupled with genuine love and emotional care is second to none – I wish they had a follow on school!
From a working mum standpoint, every day in this crazy world where women are striving for equality there is the kindness of strangers that exists making the juggling possible. Kido allows me to be a role model for my two daughters – hopefully, a positive one! They truly make every day possible.
I was lucky enough to have a tour during an open day where they invited parents of existing pupils. It was a total joy to see again the rooms in which my children spend their days. The effort that goes into the activities and the structure of the day is unparalleled.
I am running out of space! Just amazing!

March 16, 2023 at 12:00 amWe feel very fortunate to have found Kido Chiswick Nursery; our daughter (1) loves attending and is very happy there. The staff are fantastic at communication and the app is a wonderful way to see how our daughter is doing on her days there. We were anxious about our daughter starting nursery but it is so clear how loved and cared for she is. Her Key Worker is amazing and provides regular updates on our daughter’s progress and is always happy to answer any questions we have. As a teacher, I wanted my daughter, even at a young age, to be involved in a range of activities which centred around Early Learning Goals and it is great to see that staff plan activities which are engaging as well as educational. Most importantly, we love that our daughter is safe, well-looked after and enjoys her time at nursery.

March 23, 2023 at 12:00 amFrom the moment I visited Kido Chiswick I knew I’d found the right place for my one year old daughter. The kindness and care shown to the children is palpable. All the children are happy and outgoing. It’s like a big extended family. Communication with the nursery is excellent and there is also an app to keep track of what they’ve eaten, nappy changes etc. But this nursery exceeds expectations in thinking of lovely things to do with the children including duck eggs coming from a farm so the children can watch them hatch and grow for the first 10 days of their life to a weekly dance teacher coming to get them in the party mood! My daughter comes home happy, well fed and exhausted from all the fun they have there every day. I am so happy I found Kido and grateful to all the staff there for taking care of her so well for me.

March 31, 2023 at 12:00 amWe are extremely happy with Kido Chiswick, and would highly recommend it. The staff are superb, ensuring that our daughter is well looked after in every aspect, and providing a really personal service to us and our child.

April 12, 2023 at 12:00 amThe level of care for my daughter of 13 months is just amazing. The thought the staff is going through to make the children welcome and happy is great.
The focus is on the children’s safety, care and happiness before any admins, pictures etc.
I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery if you want similar care to the mother of the child.
