November 19, 2021 at 12:00 amIt’s a great nursery, lovely staff, the ladies really care and try and make going a happy time. The activities are great. Also, love the app so you get a good understanding of what your child is doing and pictures as well.

November 19, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended this nursery since she was 9-months-old, she has transitioned from the baby room to the main room.
She enjoys going to every session and always has fun with her friends learning and playing. I have seen a real difference in her speech and confidence since she has been going to nursery, I would most definitely recommend Choochoos Day Nursery to any parent.

March 3, 2022 at 12:00 amIn the three years that my daughter has been coming to Choochoos Day Nursery my wife and I have found all the staff to have always been very friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and clearly take the time to update parents/guardians on what their child has been up to that day – that includes staff from both the baby room and main room. My daughter really enjoys herself at Choochoos and it’s been easy to see just how much she has learnt as well as building up her confidence. I couldn’t recommend Choochoos highly enough. I love the app, as soon as I receive a notification to say a new post has been added I can’t wait to see it, it’s just so lovely getting that opportunity to see how your child is doing – especially when it’s a full day away from parents. Such a lovely nursery, well done to all involved.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter enjoys her time at nursery. The staff look after her very well. She was born with health conditions and all staff were very helpful, giving her the best quality of care possible! Care plans were put in place and I knew she was being cared for well.

July 28, 2022 at 12:00 amBefore being taken over, Choochoos was a lot more accommodating if I had to change sessions at late notice due to shift at working changing, also I get free hours for my daughter and food was included. This is now an extra outgoing which I didnt have to do before.
I would have liked some more learning opportunities for my daughter as she is one of the eldest and needs stimulation. Could have a more child-friendly menu. Thanks.

August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amSince the beginning, my child has come on leaps and bounds in his development in all areas. The bonding process with his key person has helped especially settling him after being upset going into the nursery. Staff have always been friendly and keep us in the loop with his progress either face to face or through the app. The catering side is good as it’s varied and nutritious.

August 9, 2022 at 12:00 amReally happy with the nursery, couldn’t have chosen a more reliable friendly nursery than choochoos! They’ve always kept me up to date with my child’s progress and continue to help my child thrive in his daily activities when he attends.

August 11, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my kids have been to Choochoos Day Nursery over the last four years and both loved and continue to love their time and continue to enjoy time at the setting. The staff are amazing and always on hand to help shall I need it, brilliant work.

November 15, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff are friendly and take such great care of my daughter. She comes home happy, satisfied and often singing a new song they have taught her. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery for their little one.

April 14, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son loves his nursery and never wants to come home, he is also very eager to go to nursery and can get very emotional during half terms. I have never had anything to moan about and my son was very upset when I explained he would be going to a new school soon. Overall, I have been very happy with the facilities, staff and the care for my child.

April 17, 2023 at 12:00 amReally happy with the nursery, all the staff and the handover we get and how they care for our child.
My only criticisms are head office and billing. Our bills are always wrong, you can’t speak to anyone directly in head office or billing and it can take them anything up to a week to reply to emails.
Given the current financial climate, having bills sent wrong or late and having emails demanding payment on a bill that’s wrong really is stressful.

April 17, 2023 at 12:00 amMy twins started nursery at 9 months old and they love it. I can really see their independence shining through after they’ve been and they are always babbling more. The nursery treats them as two separate babies and really takes into our account our routine and makes it a home from home. They get so much out of their day at nursery from art, to messy play and getting outside whatever the weather. The staff regularly update the app too so we can see what they’ve been getting up to.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amChooChoo’s are fabulous!
The staff are amazing, kind, helpful and super hero’s who I trust to love, guide and nurture my daughter and the proof is in the pudding!
My daughter is happy and engaged and looks forward to her afternoons at ChooChoo’s where she eats yummy nutritious food and plays coordinated and considered games and exercises all designed to develop her mind, body and character!
I am beyond impressed with the management and my daughter’s buddy – all of who are loved and respected by my daughter and me. Not forgetting another member of staff who adds another layer of awesomeness to the team as she shares my ideas of firm but fair with oodles of cuddles to boot.
Having served as a Captain in the British Army for many years this ‘operation’ of child care is second to none!
Well done warriors – keep up the amazing work!

July 18, 2023 at 12:00 amI cannot recommend Choochoos Day Nursery in Dover enough! Every team member is wonderful, and they all really care about the children.
I was initially anxious about our son attending a nursery, but throughout his time in Baby Choos, and now in the older room, he couldn’t love it more.
He gets excited for the next day’s activities, and always shows us what the team have set up for the following day when we pick him up in the evenings. His speech has come on so much since attending, and he’s made so many friends. We’re so happy we found ChooChoos.
