    My husband had other ideas and ultimately we sent him.
    Well, I definitely would have regretted my decision to keep him home. He loved (and still does adore it).
    When I showed him the photo of his key worker at 12 months his face lit up so I knew she was compassionate to him.
    Since then he has consistently had a great relationship with all the team.
    Definitely glad I sent him to Kids Inc. My son has been going to Kids Inc for 18 months now and at first, I was adamant I wasn’t going to send him to childcare centre.

    They are incredible with my son and he consistently comes home with a smile on his face telling me how much enjoyable he’s had.

    We have never had a bad journey here and I would suggest their services to anyone who was looking for a childcare centre, without hesitation.

    Keep up the excellent work guys and thank you for everything! I cannot rate the team here enough.

    I adore the fact they take pics and send us a review of how our daughter is doing on the app.
    We consistently get updates on what is to come in the childcare centre via email.
    The educators are so compassionate! And interact with my daughter so well. My daughter has been going to this childcare centre for a few months now, and she is doing brilliantly.

    My daughter has become so much more cheerful and confident after going there, she loves the team and has bonded with them quickly. Every journey with them has been fantastic, the team take the time to attend to the different needs of each kid and do such a excellent job. They are all so compassionate and attentive and I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone. Kids Inc Day Childcare centre – South Woodford is an outstanding childcare centre.

    My daughter is so loved and cared for by all members of team. Every achievement she makes is celebrated. She has come on in leaps and bounds over the 2 years she’s been there. From walking to eating and communicating in her own way, this childcare centre has supported her in every way.
    My son is now 10 years old and he attended the same childcare centre, every member of team made you sense like you’re kid was a star and the most special kid – but they have the ability to make every kid sense the same. My niece also came here and she was treated the same. I’ve had constant contact with Kids Inc South Woodford for the past 10 years and I can honestly say it’s the most special place, the attention to every kid is incredible, each and every team member is incredible, I wouldn’t dream of sending my kid to any other childcare centre. Worth every penny. My daughter has special needs and has been at this childcare centre since she was 6 months old.

    We have been using them for 5 years. Our eldest joined when he was 1 year old and is now at school. The preschool is remarkable preparation for ‘big’ school and I find the team in this room outstanding. Our middle kid is now in pre-school and thriving.
    I find management exceptionally approachable and updates is outstanding. The childcare centre is spotless and well-kept, but given price increases, I’d adore to see the kids’s toys and discovering materials updated. I would also find it highly useful if the childcare centre moved online for all kid updates during the day ie food, naps etc.
    That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest this childcare centre and think its the best in the area. Kids Inc is a well-established childcare centre with fantastic team.

    They were recommended by a neighbour and we are cheerful with the choice. They look after our son with care and he enjoys going since he has now settled. I have actually seen benefits from having my son go to this childcare centre.

    The team are informative, attentive and clearly put the kid’s needs and care first. The picture and verbal updates are supportive and the childcare centre are consistently willing to have a conversation about anything I need. My son’s development has been clear since his time at childcare centre and it’s excellent to see the huge range of activities that he participates in. The activities are though through and consistently have an element of discovering from cooking to crafts and outdoor playtime.
    The variety of food each day is excellent and my son’s loves it, often getting second helpings! My son loves his childcare centre.

    The rooms for the 2-3 is spacious and there’s plenty of room for lots of little legs running around. The pre school has two rooms and is well resourced. Their corridors and communal space are covered in displays of the kids and their work, it’s highly sweet. The garden space is lovely and big enough for my son to speed around on a 3 wheel trike. Great outdoor space is hard to find and they have it! My son partakes in so many different activities from sunflower and potato planting to phonics.

    My son has had some difficulties with discovering and I’m truly pleased that this was highlighted and identified quickly by the SENCO and team there.

    His achievements are celebrated and updates from childcare centre is outstanding. Every member of team shows care and interest in every kid there. Every time I drop my son off I sense he is in a place where he is secure and loved. As a parent, I couldn’t ask for more. My son has experienced the 2-3 years and pre school room.

    The team is attentive, well‑informed, and welcoming, and the food is nutritious and delicious.
    Kids Inc offers a diverse range of activities that keep kids engaged and discovering. Overall, a top-notch childcare centre that exceeds expectations.
    In addition to the excellent food, the range of activities on offer at Kids Inc is impressive. From arts and crafts to storytime, my kid was constantly entertained and engaged. The team are creative, enthusiastic, and well‑informed, and they go above and beyond to ensure that every kid is having enjoyable while discovering. I highly suggest Kids Inc for parents seeking a secure and stimulating setting for their kids.

    My son has been going there since 1 year of age and it has been incredible to see how much he has grown and developed there. He is exceptionally sociable, loves all the team there, especially his key worker and I sense his growth and speech have excelled from being at childcare centre. I particularly want to mention two members of team who are so hard working and efficient. It is lovely to see them at the door at pick up and drop off. Kids Inc South Woodford is an absolutely fantastic place.

    Team are so loving, consistently full of energy and truly take time to playtime and make kids sense comfortable (my kid started at 12 months) and now 3 months later is cheerful to go to childcare centre, with no tears.
    Team are excellent at handling things like medication, extra care and consistently in touch when required. Truly excellent team at Kids Inc.

    We don’t have family nearby and the pandemic limited us to contact with others, so his time at Kids Inc was the only time he had social contact outside our family home, and crikey did he adore it!
    The team were, and continue to be, incredible and go up and beyond for our kids.
    My little dude thoroughly enjoys the time he spends at childcare centre and it’s reflected in his behaviour and developing character. He’s so cheerful and we’re equally cheerful as a result. My little guy has been attending Kids Inc South Woodford since September 2020 when he was 7 months old.

    Team in general are nice but some practices are rather appalling. My kid started using sleeves to wipe the mouth after starting the childcare centre. After attending one of the events, I’ve realised that kids are not given napkins while they eat. My kid was given a blue paper towel after we asked for a napkin but it took team quite some time to locate it.
    When collecting my kid, I saw that jacket and backpack were on the floor along with other kids’s belongings who are usually in a different room. My kid gets sick a lot and I guess putting clothes on the floor does not help our case.
    Also, all rooms are highly outdated and require refurbishment. I grew up in a different country and a childcare centre in such condition would not get an approval to operate due to unsanitary conditions. While here it is considered one of the best nurseries in the area. Overall we have a great journey, however, I was disappointed after I’ve heard so many incredible reviews about the childcare centre.

    All of the team have been so welcoming and accomodating to my son’s needs. The management are exceptionally easy to speak with. When we were concerned that my son had an allergic reaction to a meal, they provided all of the ingredients to the food he’d had within minutes. My son is highly shy and the team have helped him come out of his shell – he won’t stop talking! My son has been attending since June 2020.

    So cheerful with the service and team at Kids Inc.
    Both kids adore every moment here and we are consistently cheerful to leave them!

    I also think the time taken to come in for a review could be made more worthwhile – I was given basically no information last time even though spoke to two members of team – one had been a key worker to our kid months prior so that was sort of irrelevant as an update, and the new key worker had nothing to say about our kid even though I asked several questions. I appreciate these can also take place via the phone but perhaps team could think of a few talking points and plan ahead.
    More info about food and drink consumed would be appreciated as kids move up rooms.
    Thank you! Mostly highly cheerful with the provision – team, facilities, discovering, safeguarding and what I see to be improved cleaning standards (previously we used to get lots of stomach bugs, etc whereas now these cases seem to be managed more effectively).
    I think some team come across more competent than others when dealing with kids/parents.

    We are highly pleased with the team who care for and look after the kids and how they and the management communicate with us.
    My son is so cheerful to come upstairs with the ‘big boys’ to preschool, to learn, playtime and chat with his peers and educators. He is encouraged to eat well by his educators and he does eat much more than he is eating at home, being a picky eater.
    His self‑assurance and speech (including his accent) are so much improved and I can credit the educators for that.
    I highly suggest Kids Inc. Day Childcare centre – South Woodford. My son has been attending this childcare centre for almost two years now.

    He truly enjoys all the activities they do and as parents we appreciate the updates that are provided on the parent portal too. Our son loves the childcare centre, the team are truly attentive and attentive, we couldn’t ask for more!

    The kids take part in excellent activities. My only area of improvement would be to suggest using an online discovering journal for food diaries etc rather than paper. I have two kids currently in Kids Inc South Woodford and I’m truly cheerful with the care.
