January 23, 2017 at 12:00 amThe care is really personal, the staff know my child and my family – there is a real family feel here. My little boy gets lots of outside play time and to go on trips.
The nursery does several family events throughout the year too which means we feel involved.
Most importantly though, the staff really seem to care.

January 30, 2017 at 12:00 amA wonderful nursery, being a first-time mum the staff took the time to go through all the information I needed to know. They took the time to settle my baby in and made sure that I was confident in leaving her.
The rooms are full of lots of lovely exciting toys and the activities they do such as painting and gloop are really good. My daughter made her first hand print painting which takes pride of place on my fridge now.
The learning book system they use is really good as it allows me as a parent to see what she has been doing and learning whilst in the comfort of my own home and I can share this with her grandparents who live down South. It also allows me to put up pictures and videos that share my daughter’s learning experiences at home with her key person.
A big thank you to all the staff at the nursery.

February 2, 2017 at 12:00 amMy granddaughter loves going to nursery here, all the staff are really friendly and care about our experience as a family.
She gets lots of outdoor play everyday and they do lots of trips out too. She is learning all the time and comes home full of stories about what she has done that day.
The quality of care is excellent all the staff are really passionate about what they do.
She was really shy at first but going to nursery has helped her to increase her confidence and make friends,
I’m really pleased that we chose this nursery and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

April 5, 2017 at 12:00 amMy grandson goes to Kids adVentures and loves it. He particularly enjoys all the outdoor trips especially to the Forest School, he is excited to get there in the morning and comes home with stories about building dens and making mud slides. He comes home muddy, tired and happy, it’s fantastic to see how his confidence has grown since attending these sessions.
I like how he is getting all these extra opportunities and I can really see that it is benefiting him.
The staff team are caring and the nursery has a small and friendly feel – thank you!

November 6, 2017 at 12:00 amWhen we took our son to Kids adVentures we knew it was a slightly different approach with the Forest school activity but as he loves the outdoors we thought this would be a great experience for him.
We have now been using the nursery for 6 months and I can honestly say we struggle to drag him away at the end of each day at nursery. The variety of activity that he gets involved in is brilliant, in fact, I wish I could do some of the outdoor stuff myself – den making etc.
He’s come on such a lot in these few months he seems to be learning so much within this environment and his confidence is increasing.
Thank you, everyone, at Kids adVentures.

October 4, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been attending Kids adVentures for almost a month. The staff are incredibly caring and have got to know him really well during this short time. There are lots of opportunities for learning outside which he thoroughly enjoys. We are really glad we chose Kids adVentures.

October 4, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been with Kids adVentures since she was 9 months old. The nursery has helped her to develop both socially and academically. She loves craft activities and outdoor play. The team are really attentive to her. Our daughter has a skin condition and they make sure that her cream is put on regularly, and her skin is looking really great now, with the regular application of moisturiser. I also believe she has much tastier food at nursery than at home!

October 4, 2022 at 12:00 amOur boy attended Kids adVentures from 10 months until 3 years old. We have always found the staff to be very caring and nurturing and they have often gone above and beyond. The management have also generally been very flexible and always tried to accommodate changes.
We have another baby on the way and will be keen to bring them to Kids adVentures when the time comes!
Thanks for everything.

October 4, 2022 at 12:00 amSo far we have been really pleased with the forest school, the staff and the personalised care towards ensuring our little one settles in. He runs out the door in the morning excited to spend the day in this lovely setting!

October 5, 2022 at 12:00 amOur little boy started in November 2021. He is really sensitive and it took him a while to settle but the staff were amazing.
One of the things that is really important to us is flexibility around naps. He still needed a cheeky 10 min morning nap because he was so little and they facilitated that no trouble. I’ve heard of other nurseries insisting kids are on one nap a day which would have been awful.
The staff are so loving and kind. Our little boy is very attached to both his key worker and buddy key worker.
We also love how much time they spend outside.

October 10, 2022 at 12:00 amOur eldest started at Kids adVentures when he was 8 months old, and is now continuing in the Forest School. Our youngest has just started at the nursery. When choosing a nursery, especially with such young children, the most important thing to us was that the child would feel really cared for – a home away from home. We absolutely found this at Kids adVentures. The staff genuinely care about the children, and the children build lovely bonds with both the staff and the other children. This allows for an environment where communication flows easily between the nursery and home, and any issues or concerns that are brought up are dealt with efficiently and thoughtfully, in close collaboration with the parents. The activities the children do are extremely varied and interesting (from yoga to baking, to water play and art) and there is usually a weekly theme. The children go outside for fresh air most days which is great – our child usually comes home tired but very happy, and excited to share details of his day.

October 28, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy attends Kids AdVentures he has attended the nursery since he was 9 months old and has recently turned 2 and moved up into the next room. He has also received amazing care from all the staff. They go above and beyond, management always sort out any questions or queries that we have. Myself and my wife are extremely happy with the nursery our little boy is thriving and thats thanks to the care, love and amazing activities that he does. Our eldest child also attended the nursery from a baby right through to forest school.

July 6, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff here are incredible, they go above and beyond to provide the best care for the children, you can tell they actually care about each child and nothing is ever too much for them to do. The children are always so happy and you can tell they are very well looked after and not just a number. My little boy has made so much progress since starting here and it’s all down to the amazing staff.

July 6, 2023 at 12:00 amI cannot say enough positive things about this nursery and how my 4-year-old daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her year and a half here! So much so, we opted to not start her at nursery school last September, choosing instead to stay on at forest school longer.
She’s a “girly girl” and the adventurous magical atmosphere of this environment has her full attention! From making crowns, wands and potions to cooking garlic bread from scratch around the campfire and feeding the chickens – she’s enthralled!
The staff have been amazing with her and she has formed happy, loving bonds with you all. For that, her father and I will be forever grateful. Her 1st nursery wasn’t a great fit for her and we’re so happy we found this nursery as she had no issue settling in and finding her place amongst the adventure and fun. You are all solely responsible for bringing along our very very fussy eater in ways we have struggled to at home! Thank you all so much!

July 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy has just left the Forest School at Kids adVentures after just over a year.
He did enjoy going and the children do seem happy when they are there but we found the Forest school had poor communication, constant staff changes, lack of information at handovers, zero feedback on child development and our bill was frequently incorrect. We were told we would receive daily photos of their activities but that very rarely happened and we were sent about 4 photos in 12 months.
I raised a couple of concerns about my child and I don’t feel they were taken seriously.
The staff all seem nice but the Forest school lacks management and it doesn’t have a welcoming vibe.

July 31, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child loves his time at Kids Adventures Nursery and Forest School. The staff have good relationships with the children, teaching them to develop their interpersonal skills along with practical life skills, such as fire safety and learning though nature. The location and environment fosters open ended learning through play, which is led by the children and supported by the staff. He always comes home happy, having learnt something new, which he is eager to share with us.

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amI cannot speak highly enough about this nursery. They care extremely well for my daughter and she loves going there, she even asks to go on days when she’s not in. The nursery (the management and nursery nurses) supported me through a very hard period, they went above and beyond by allowing my daughter to attend the nursery while my grandmother was in a coma, it made an extremely hard time just a little easier and for that, I’m forever grateful.
