Kaleidoscope Day Nursery (Drighlington)

Both my children have attended this nursery over the last 5 years. The facilities are excellent. The staff are amazing, caring, approachable, understanding, patient and professional. My children love attending. They regularly come home with stories, crafts, baking and a smile!! I fully recommend to any parent.

I love this nursery as do both of my children. Has one of the best outdoor provisions in the area and I love how much time the children spend outside.

Both my children have attended Kaleidoscope day nursery at Drighlington since they were babies (now 5 and 3 years old). I honestly don’t know what I would have done without the care, love, teaching and nurturing they have shown to my children. All the staff who have looked after them genuinely care and as a mother, it is so lovely to know that when I drop the kids off so I can go to work, they will have a day of fun and laughter. Kaleidoscope has been so accommodating to us, I work shifts so the children are in nursery and KOOSH on random days. This has never been a problem. I literally couldn’t recommend them enough.

I was very anxious about leaving my son at first. But he loves coming and interacting with the children and the staff. His development is coming along nicely since he’s been here. The staff are really supportive in everything and I’m glad I chose this nursery for him.

Both of my children have attended Kaleidoscope Nursery and I have recommended this setting to my friends who have been equally impressed with the level of care shown to the children. They have recently received a well deserved outstanding Ofsted Grading. I would say to anyone that’s looking for childcare to go for a visit and meet the staff who I’m sure will make you feel at ease and comfortable with what is a daunting task.

The staff at the nursery have gone above and beyond this year. They always put the children first and will ensure their happiness is their number one priority. When lockdown hit they did everything in their power to ensure the children came first and were settled and happy. My boys have loved being there. My eldest (now at school) still talks about being in blue room and my youngest runs in without waving bye to us and leaves with a huge smile on his face. That speaks volumes. They really know the children they work with and will create activities based on what the children are interested in. Thank you.

Drighlington Kaleidoscope Nursery has been exceptional in every single aspect of our child’s care. All the way from the admin side of things through to drop-off and pick up at school, nothing is too much trouble for them.
My daughter has attended the nursery since a toddler and is now attending the out of school club. She utterly loves the place and the staff. So much so that she not only requested that she be picked up from school by them every day, but also that she preferred to go to the holiday club during half-term, rather than days out with her parents!
The staff are friendly and approachable, and their care and love towards the children is obvious to see. Despite the issues that the Covid-19 pandemic caused, they have never once complained or moaned about the situation, they have simply taken the challenge head-on and found ways to work around the issues. The level of care and support they managed to provide during this difficult time was extraordinary.

My eldest started in Nov 2018 age 2 1/2 after a recommendation from a friend and from that moment I’ve never looked back. The care she received throughout her time at Kaleidoscope was outstanding, the staff are so polite, loving and caring and nothing is too much trouble. This year was extremely hard due to the Coronavirus but the staff and management have worked so incredibly hard to ensure a safe but still fun environment for all the children. My eldest left in August 2020 (to start primary school) but is hoping to attend the KOOSH holiday club in the future. My younger child then started in September, I was worried that because she’d spent most of her life in lockdown and hadn’t been left with anybody for more than a hour or two before that she would struggle to settle in. Fortunately, it was the complete opposite, she absolutely loves going, goes running in each morning and her development and independence have improved massively.
I would not hesitate to recommend Kaleidoscope.

I wanted to share my appreciation of how amazing the nursery has been in helping my little boy settle in over his first 4 months. We only started using the nursery during Covid times so I hope when others read this review they remember this, as the service we have received during a global pandemic has been exceptional. They have communicated extremely well with us with during this time and made us feel safe sending our boy each day. We receive daily updates and pictures each week of how he is progressing, which makes our day! Little things like being welcomed at the door on his 2nd morning with staff remembering his name, reassured me that we made the correct decision joining this Nursery. I can’t thank the staff enough for what they have done for us and our boy, and we look forward hopefully to a better 2021 knowing our boy is loving each day and growing up in a fantastic place! Thank you!

Both my son and daughter absolutely love their time at nursery, both are always happy to go in and come out even happier, usually covered in paint and muck after their day of adventure and fun.
I couldn’t imagine ever using another nursery. The staff are fabulous and work so hard to make it a wonderful place. I can go to work knowing they are happy and settled, you couldn’t ask for more.
