Little Garden The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously The Kiddies Academy)

I was full of worries before my little girl’s first day at nursery. I was nervous about how she would be without me, especially because of the pandemic but the staff at Kiddies Academy were amazing. They made me feel comfortable and reassured me of all my concerns. I left the nursery feeling confident she was in good hands. I’ve worked in some beautiful schools but I’ve always said that it’s the staff that makes the school and that’s definitely the case for Kiddies Academy!

My daughter has been attending Kiddies Academy for the last 10 months. We were a little unsure, having spent the majority of the first 12 months in lockdown, how she would settle at nursery. We are pleased to say she has thrived at Kiddies Academy. I am always amazed at the different creative ways they find to keep the children entertained, exploring and trying new things every week. The food is such a diverse menu. One of the reasons we selected the nursery was due to its outside space and I love the fact that our daughter enjoys the outdoors so much when not at nursery. The staff are kind, patient and always welcoming and appreciate the pictures and comments they add to the parent app. Definitely recommend to friends.

We really can’t praise everyone at Kiddies Academy enough, the development we’ve seen over the last 18 months has been huge. The care and attention that is afforded to each child makes it such an enjoyable experience for them. Each day my daughter runs in, full of excitement as she’s greeted at the door. It’s great to see that she loves it there so much.

Our son started at Kiddies Academy in the toddler room in 2019 and left in Aug 2021 to start school. The care he received from all the team during his time there has been exceptional. It is a very special nursery and such a nurturing and caring learning environment. Our son absolutely loved it there and thrived. When only children of key workers were allowed to attend nursery during the first lockdown, they were phenomenal. They ran a live Zoom session weekly where we did science experiments so the children could all see their friends and they asked us to send in weekly photos to include in a photo montage to keep them connected. Our son has severe food allergies; he was kept completely safe from his allergens during his time at Kiddies Academy and was able to participate fully in all of the activities, including cooking. They have the most rigorous protocols in place and the cook cooked delicious dairy and soya free meals daily. The manager and deputy are superb and we simply can’t recommend Kiddies Academy enough.

Lovely staff. Kids are always entertained and developed through varied activities. My boy loves it and walks in with a smile every day. Have only known the nursery through covid times and they have managed it very well.

My daughter is very happy at the nursery. She looks forward to seeing her teachers and keyworker. The staff are very warm and approachable. They spend time each day explaining what activities my daughter has done.
I receive daily updates about my daughter’s food, sleep and activities along with some photos.

I am very pleased with The Kiddies Academy nursery. The staff are friendly and caring, helping my toddler to develop all the necessary skills. By the way, my toddler goes happily to the nursery every day, I can say that this is a happy place, where kids feel safe and enjoy being.

Our daughter has been at Kiddies for three months. She absolutely loves it and all of the staff that work with her. She gets so excited as soon as she sees the nursery in the morning, and I believe this is down to the tremendous effort the staff go to to make sure the children have the best learning experiences and fun. Staff communication is brilliant, and nothing is ever too much trouble. The facilities are brilliant, modern and clean. She absolutely loves the outside area. She’s also never not finished a meal there! Would highly recommend.

Our little boy changed nurseries in May 2022 and we were concerned about how he would settle into another nursery. However, we needn’t have worried as the nursery and staff are fantastic and he settled in immediately. He is happy to run straight into nursery in the morning and is absolutely thriving since joining Kiddies. There is a huge focus on playing outside, which was very important to us and the development of the garden has been wonderful to see. His speech has developed greatly in the last couple of months, and the attention to providing activities to suit his interests has definitely played a part in this. Overall, we could not be happier with our choice to move our child to Kiddies Academy and we are so pleased with the progress he is making under their care.

My daughter started in September 22 and is thoroughly enjoying her experience
The staff are lovely and understanding and have been great with her from the start of her settling period. She comes home and loves to talk about her day and the staff. Thank you!
