June 24, 2019 at 12:00 amBoth my daughters attended the nursery. My eldest started at 12 months and finished at 4.5 years. For me, the nursery’s strengths were their staff and homely setting. Most staff have been in childcare and with the nursery for a long time. They are extremely kind, patient and attentive carers. The younger staff are just as wonderful, cheery and attentive. The outdoor space has been very thoughtfully designed. It facilitates a mud kitchen, forest school, jungle gym and enough space for rotating exercise classes such as football. My children spent some very happy and secure years at the nursery and I am very grateful!

July 24, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son has just left Kids & Co after nearly four very happy years. He joined in the baby room and will be starting school in September. As with my daughter before him, we feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderful setting for him. The staff work really hard to ensure the children receive excellent care; they are nurtured and challenged in equal measure. All within a beautiful, friendly family atmosphere.
The nursery has excellent values and the staff put a great deal of effort into providing the children with a wide variety of interesting activities and fantastic day trips. My son has left with a bunch of really close friends.
The management and administration team are efficient, helpful and transparent at every stage.
Overall, we can’t recommend Kids & Co enough. It is a special place with a wonderful team and we will definitely be popping in to keep in touch!

July 25, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter has had an amazing one and a half years at Kids & Co. Learning through play, outdoor visits and the extracurricular activities i.e. football and Diddy dance. The activities arranged for the kids to be engaged on a daily basis were very innovative and good fun. I specifically like the Tapestry online journal to track your child’s daily activities and progress based on Early years foundation stage. Also, the hot meals prepared at nursery making sure kids get all the relevant nutrients. We have had a great experience at Kids & Co and sad to leave.

July 29, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter enjoyed going to the nursery and really improved in her social skills. Staff are very experienced and reliable. I never had any concerns. Nursery is very well organised and communications from the nursery are excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Kids & Co to my family and friends.

July 31, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter started Kids & Co 6 years ago and my son has just finished after 3 wonderful years. They have had the most incredible start to their education and have thrived in the loving supportive environment that the nursery engenders.
The staff are extremely dedicated to the care and stimulation of the children. The building, classrooms and garden are beautifully maintained and also used in innovative ways to aid their learning. It really has been a home from home.
Both my children have left nursery confident, sociable and ready to start school. I wholeheartedly recommend Kids & Co as an outstanding nursery.

September 11, 2019 at 12:00 amKids & Co is an amazing nursery. All the staff are so warm and supportive, not only of our children but also of us as a family. We couldn’t have been happier with Kids & Co as a nursery and were very sorry when the day came for our children to leave. We would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

September 17, 2019 at 12:00 amBoth my kids attended Kids and Co Nursery in Blackheath. The overall standard is good and my kids have been very happy there. They were both well looked after by the staff with many opportunities to learn and grow. The only two areas I think that can be improved on are food and management. Meals could be more balanced and healthy. Management communication could be friendlier and more empathic to parents.

September 23, 2019 at 12:00 amMy two children have been to Kids and Co from 2 years, through to the start of school. We have been so pleased with the nursery and the staff there. They have loved and cared for our children, providing them with a stimulating and friendly environment for their early years of education. Many of the staff have been at the nursery for a number of years so there is a stable environment for the children to go to every day. We have recommended the nursery to many friends already, we sincerely hope they continue to be successful long into the future.

October 24, 2019 at 12:00 amWe have been extremely pleased with the care and education our son has received over the last 12 months at Kids & Co. Our son has learnt many skills both educational and recreational during his time at the nursery, We would be happy to recommend Kids & Co to anyone looking for a nursery.

July 21, 2020 at 12:00 amBoth of our children attended Kids & Co and spent several very happy years at the nursery.
During that time we found the care and education provided by Kids & Co excellent. Our children were able to both learn and play in ways that really benefitted their development. The staff really made a huge effort to engage them in subjects they were interested in (such as space or numeracy) and encourage them to expand their knowledge.
The atmosphere at the nursery was great. Everyone was very friendly yet children were encouraged to be responsible and behave considerately towards other children.
The physical environment was very good and the outdoor space was something which very much attracted us to the nursery. The forest school was a nice bonus feature.
Communication and administration was also extremely efficient so, as parents, we never had issues with invoicing or not having the information we needed.
We would have no hesitation recommending the nursery to others.

September 7, 2020 at 12:00 amOur son attended Kids & Co for 2 years and flourished in this time. He loved it and always looked forward to his next day there. We always felt like he was in a very safe and loving environment. He developed tremendously and we were very sad when it was time to leave.

August 9, 2021 at 12:00 amKids and Co have become a second home for our child and it’s with a bit of sadness that we now have to move on to primary school. Frankly, everything was great during those years, from the caterpillar to the tractor and the rocket room. Every stage came with great care from the teams and team leaders, we felt the dedicated attention and also help for the parents was there. The odd incident was diligently taken care of, activities were varied and management was helpful and professional, also during the challenging times of covid. I put good only for space and for equipment simply because it is the only aspect I saw as limiting the staff and the nursery, but we felt all was adequately provided and well organized. All the staff were fantastic in caring for our child. Overall the staff is what makes the biggest difference for this outstanding nursery! Definitely recommended if you can get a place!

August 20, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth of my children attended Kids & Co Day Nursery nursery over the last 8 years and I wouldn’t wish for a better place! We chose it for the outdoor space but very quickly discovered what a great nursery it is. Engaging indoor and outdoor activities, football and dance classes, small playground and forest school, own chef – they have it all! The nursery has very strong leadership and all staff are very experienced, kind and fun!
They have very quickly adapted to the pandemic situation and have provided a lot of support for children and families during lockdowns.
My children will miss this wonderful nursery and I wish Kids & Co all the success in the future!

September 27, 2021 at 12:00 amKids & Co is an outstanding nursery. The children are cared for in small groups by dedicated, experienced staff, who know the children very well. The communication with parents is excellent, with many personal touches, such as little presents for birthdays and Christmas. Our daughter spent a very happy year at Kids & Co, skipped in and out, with many stories about her day. She loved her key worked and still talks about her all the time. Activities were very varied and creative and she made good friends. We just wish we could have kept her there for another year, but she had to leave for pre-school to be guaranteed a place at her brother’s school.

January 7, 2022 at 12:00 amA brilliant nursery on all accounts. The team are so caring and friendly that it feels like one big family. My son loved it and developed really well there for over 2 years. There is a nice balance of play and more structured learning. The pastoral care and help with things like potty training were also excellent. He loved all his key workers, as did we! Proximity to the park, good outdoor grassy space in the front and back gardens (as opposed to just concrete) and a diverse range of indoor activities meant he was never bored. We built lovely relationships and we will miss this nursery a lot. They are also on top of admin/communication which is useful! Very much recommend it, if you can get a place!

September 13, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff at Kids & Co are professional, kind and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond their duties and responsibilities.
The children always look happy to go in and are well taken care of. What really sets them apart is the extracurricular activities like dancing and PE with specialised teachers. The mum and dad days are a huge success where the children and parents come in and have brunch with staff. The parents meet and get to see what their little one is interested in and who their friends are. They call the primary schools where the children have been given a spot and invite the primary teachers at the nursery to get to know the children before they start school. The whole nursery just got fully refurbished with a beautiful garden which makes it special with great facilities for the children. Kids & Co put the children first and offer full wraparound care.

September 25, 2022 at 12:00 amKids & Co is a very special nursery. It has given both my daughters a fantastic start in life. There are great indoor facilities, as well as lots of activities. The nursery has just been refurbished so it looks clean and modern now too. The outdoor forest school and pay areas are great, and the children were taken to the nearby park too.
The staff are lovely, professional and good at their jobs. They built really strong bonds with both our girls – who have quite different personalities. The girls already miss them and the nursery. On the practical side, the admin and communication is clear and regular, with helpful prompts when we need it.
Overall absolutely fantastic – a great start for the kids.

May 2, 2023 at 12:00 amKids & Co Day Nursery is an excellent school. We are so lucky to have found this space for our little baby to become a toddler, and then little girl, in the safety net and pedagogical environment of this nursery. We knew she was safe, well cared for and that we could be assured she was in loving hands when we went about our daily business. I think our daughter genuinely misses nursery on the days we take her out and we want to say a huge thank you to all the staff, especially the ‘turtle room’, for taking such great care of her this year. Thank you very much!

July 24, 2023 at 12:00 amA fantastic nursery. Our daughter has just finished at Kids & Co Day Nursery having spent just over a year there. She is so fond of and comfortable with the staff. The range of activities on offer for the children is great. All in all a brilliant experience for our daughter and our son before that.
