Kids Capers Day Nursery

Thank you to Kids Capers Nursery and all the amazing staff for providing such fantastic care for my Daughter and previously my Son. Both of my Children have benefited so much from the environment, atmosphere and routines provided. Recently my Daughter moved up into another room at nursery and the transition was flawless! She has completely embraced the change and I put this down to the way it is managed by the staff. She is already singing all the new songs, has made new friends and is very excited to tell me what she has learnt or done each day! I believe that the interaction with other children and adults, combined with the routines and learning opportunities provided are a fantastic base for any child prior to starting school. It certainly proved to be the case with our Son who will soon be 7! Thank you again, for all you do for our children. 🙂 I must add that I love the ‘Tapestry’ online learning journal! The perfect way to record development, share moments and keep in close contact.

After initial teething problems with the nursery we believe they have taken on board feedback and enhanced the experience for both of our children and ourselves. A majority of staff are very approachable and helpful in assisting with queries, in particular the use of the reward chart to encourage good behaviour. We will be sending our third child in the future there as well as we believe that there is a good approach to the care and development of the children.

I am a mother to a 3 year old boy in the Rainbow room of kids capers. My son first started in the Sunshine room aged 7 months and has been going full time ever since.
My son is always happy to be at nursery and has made some wonderful friends, as have I. I have never had to fight with him, to go to nursery, but often have to drag him out as he doesn’t want to leave!

In the Rainbow room, every day is different. They have stations set up so the children can move around freely joining in activities as they wish, the have free access in and out of the fantastic gardens that are secure, partially covered and very highly maintained.
They have a sensory room, a story room, interactive television, story headsets and every toy imaginable! The nursery is always clean, and seems very well organised. Staff seem happy and are very friendly.
Due to the location, the nursery also have access to the playground next door and the woodlands that adjoin the grounds. As the nursery manager is training to be a Forest School Leader, they are in the woods weekly, learning about animals, nature, woodlands as well as gardening and okaying games.

The nursery also have a minibus, that they use for trips out. My son has been to Beaver Water World, Nutfield Priory Farm nature trail, Glovers Woods and Santa’s grotto in the town. He, like all the children love the trips. In addition to trips out, the nursery also organise an annual visit from the local fire station, the fire fighters bring a fire engine and let the kids on board an spray the hoses, whilst learning about fires.

There is so much I haven’t even included, regular parents evenings, on-line secure learning journals that you can view and add to, summer Tea parties, fancy dress days, face painting, baking, Christmas Show, BBQ’s, the list could go on…

I would highly recommend this nursery. We see them as out extended family. My son calls it ‘Nursery home’ – Says it all!

The team were excellent while my daughter, who now loves nursery, was settling in. She had not been away from me before and they were fabulous. She now loves nursery and after each session I hear how much she has been doing from playing with sand, glitter and glue to being outside or in the sensory room. A massive thank you to the staff, knowing she enjoys it, makes leaving her, a tiny bit easier.
