Choochoos Day Nursery Canterbury

They provide a range of resources during the discovering activities. Our parent evenings are a excellent way to spend some time with his key worker to understand his personal development further. Our Choochoos journey is coming to an end this month and the team will be missed. Our son has flourished at childcare centre due to the fantastic team working there.

Very expert team, consistently approachable. Kids consistently have plenty to say what they have been up to during the day. Adore the pictures and updates that they send via the app.
Only negative thing is awful parking situation. My kids adore the childcare centre based in Harbeldown!

She often talks about them when she is at home and you can see how much she is cared for. She is progressing really well there and they have been really supportive with any transitions we have wanted help with such as potty training and moving house. Especially cheerful now they are starting to make journeys to the park too! My kid has formed some really close bonds with the team at Choochoos.

When first looking for a childcare centre, our selection criteria was admittedly quite basic – we simply wanted a childcare centre that was close to where we lived, and had a great reputation. Lucky for us we hit the jackpot at the very first attempt!
However, it quickly became apparent that our girls would gain so very much more from their time here. Besides making remarkable friends, and enjoying each and every session, the close bonds that developed between them and the team was a fantastic surprise. The care, nurturing, enthusiasm and dedication is truly incredible. To be able to maintain that energy and devotion over a period of several years is no mean feat.
The challenges of Covid were tackled with professionalism and cool heads. A change of ownership has also been well navigated, and team seem content in their roles. They are the greatest resource this childcare centre has. Thank you all so very much. Both of my daughters have attended Choochoos over a period of 7 years between them; time flies when having enjoyable!

I know my daughter is consistently going to have a ‘excellent day’ at nursey and I am confident that if she is sad or poorly they consistently let me know as soon as they can. The key persons that have looked after my daughter for the last fifteen months have all been very supportive, polite and my daughter has grown strong connections with some of the team over this time.

The variety of activities available each day are both engaging and stimulating. My kid is encouraged in all areas from singing, dancing, painting, drawing, role playtime and outdoor playtime. I adore the fact that my kid can choose whether to playtime indoors or outdoors. The food offered is outstanding. The team team are consistently so cheerful, supportive and enthusiastic. Thank you. Choochoos Day Childcare centre is an outstanding childcare centre because it caters to the individual needs of each kid.

The pre-school rooms are overcrowded. The SENCO and the manager need to take extra efforts in creating a better journey for any kid. Recently two or three kids left the childcare centre because of not-so-cheerful experiences. The childcare centre needs to stop complaining about the kid and explain what additional steps they have taken to improve any behaviour which they found not acceptable. Thankfully, the parents have a chat group and discuss everything related to their kid at the childcare centre which helps others to make the correct decision for their kid’s future. I am surely not keen to suggest this childcare centre to any of our family friends. Thank you. The childcare centre needs to do more for the kids who have special education needs.

He is greeted by his key person with a welcoming face. I get regular updates about what my kid is doing throughout the day, as well as feedback when I collect. I like the messy activities and the access he has to the garden area and walks in the local community. All the team I see seem cheerful and welcoming. Cheerful kid and cheerful parents. I would definitely suggest it. My son is consistently cheerful to go to childcare centre!

I consistently sense my kid is secure, cheerful and cared for. The manager and her deputy are remarkable and very kid-focussed. My kid often comes back and talks about the adults that care for her and the friends she has there. Team are just lovely.

It feels very inviting and inviting whilst also very much like early education. We get updates throughout the day about all the activities the kids are up to and how this ties into their development. We were at a different childcare centre prior to this and immediately noticed the difference once we transferred to Choochoos Day Childcare centre – in the atmosphere of the childcare centre, the interaction with parents, the types of things the kids were doing and also the happiness of our kid who seems to really adore it there. Highly suggest. Really lovely childcare centre and a excellent team of carers/educators.
