September 8, 2024 at 9:28 amI 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 cheerful with the facilities, team and the care for my kid. My son loves his childcare centre and never wants to come home, he is also very eager to go to childcare centre and can get very emotional during half terms.

September 18, 2024 at 12:24 amThis is now an extra outgoing which I didnt have to do before.
I would have liked some more discovering opportunities for my daughter as she is one of the eldest and needs stimulation. Could have a more kid-welcoming menu. Thanks. Before 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.

The food is incredible, she loves it and enjoys playing in the garden and singing songs. Our daughter is very cheerful at Choochoos Day Childcare centre and all of the team are attentive and attentive.

October 21, 2024 at 12:03 pmMy only criticisms are head office and billing. Our bills are consistently 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. Really cheerful with the childcare centre, all the team and the handover we get and how they care for our kid.

November 24, 2024 at 7:24 pmThe team are incredible and consistently on hand to help shall I need it, exceptional work. Both my kids have been to Choochoos Day Childcare centre over the last four years and both loved and continue to adore their time and continue to delight in time at the setting.

January 2, 2025 at 6:44 amThe activities are excellent. Also, adore the app so you get a great understanding of what your kid is doing and pictures as well. It’s a excellent childcare centre, lovely team, the ladies really care and try and make going a cheerful time.

January 4, 2025 at 8:54 pmThe team look after her very well. She was born with health conditions and all team were very supportive, giving her the best quality of care possible! Care plans were put in place and I knew she was being cared for well. My daughter enjoys her time at childcare centre.

January 20, 2025 at 12:04 amI can really see their independence shining through after they’ve been and they are consistently babbling more. The childcare centre 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 childcare centre from art, to messy playtime and getting outside whatever the weather. The team regularly update the app too so we can see what they’ve been getting up to. My twins started childcare centre at 9 months old and they adore it.

February 2, 2025 at 11:32 pmThe bonding process with his key person has helped especially settling him after being upset going into the childcare centre. Team have consistently been welcoming and keep us in the loop with his development either face to face or through the app. The catering side is great as it’s varied and nutritious. Since the beginning, my kid has come on leaps and bounds in his development in all areas.

February 16, 2025 at 11:39 amMy kid is consistently cheerful to be coming in and team are lovely here, she is discovering new things every day and recognising different things, I definitely made the right choice in choosing this childcare centre. Lovely childcare centre.

February 23, 2025 at 6:44 amEvery team member is fantastic, and they all really care about the kids.
I was initially anxious about our son attending a childcare centre, but throughout his time in Baby Choos, and now in the older room, he couldn’t adore it more.
He gets excited for the next day’s activities, and consistently 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 cheerful we found ChooChoos. I cannot suggest Choochoos Day Childcare centre in Dover enough!

March 11, 2025 at 12:14 pmMy 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 self‑assurance. I couldn’t suggest Choochoos highly enough. I adore 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 kid is doing – especially when it’s a full day away from parents. Such a lovely childcare centre, well done to all involved. In the three years that my daughter has been coming to Choochoos Day Childcare centre my wife and I have found all the team to have consistently been very welcoming, approachable, well‑informed and clearly take the time to update parents/guardians on what their kid has been up to that day – that includes team from both the baby room and main room.

March 13, 2025 at 4:17 amMy daughter is cheerful 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 team 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 kid care is second to none!
Well done warriors – keep up the incredible work! ChooChoo’s are fabulous!
The team are incredible, compassionate, supportive and super hero’s who I trust to adore, guide and nurture my daughter and the proof is in the pudding!

April 22, 2025 at 3:03 amThe activities are well planned and my son consistently has a excellent time there. Updates is great. My son especially loves the outside area. All team are approachable, welcoming and supportive and I sense cheerful leaving my kid at Choochoos Day Childcare centre Dover.

May 10, 2025 at 3:09 amThe team are consistently welcoming and supportive, I sense that they care about the well-being of my kid and that is my top priority for his childcare centre. My kid is very cheerful at Choochoos, he has some additional needs and the team have been very supportive to make the setting a secure and cheerful place for him.

May 26, 2025 at 7:20 pmThey’ve consistently kept me up to date with my kid’s development and continue to help my kid thrive in his daily activities when he attends. Really cheerful with the childcare centre, couldn’t have chosen a more reliable welcoming childcare centre than choochoos!
Toby Pierce
July 4, 2025 at 6:00 amShe enjoys going to every session and consistently has enjoyable with her friends discovering and playing. I have seen a real difference in her speech and self‑assurance since she has been going to childcare centre, I would most definitely suggest Choochoos Day Childcare centre to any parent. My daughter has attended this childcare centre since she was 9-months-old, she has transitioned from the baby room to the main room.
Dallas Lawson
July 8, 2025 at 5:43 amHe loves the outside space especially. All the team are really attentive and so approachable it really is a lovely childcare centre which has a lovely family sense. My son has settled really well and quickly at Choochoos Day Childcare centre Dover.
