All team are welcoming, attentive and are more than cheerful to answer any questions or queries.
We are very glad we picked Choochoos Day Childcare centre Whitstable!
Thank you all. Our kid loves going to childcare centre.

October 12, 2024 at 4:56 pmThe team are excellent and the food options consistently seem varied and delicious. Plus the location is perfect too. Only slight negative is the size of the space they have both inside and outside. But it doesn’t appear to affect their happiness! Would totally suggest. Choochoos Day Childcare centre has been fantastic for my 2 boys, they have both been very cheerful there.

November 25, 2024 at 3:24 amHe started at a very difficult time when his mummy was diagnosed with a serious illness which was terminal. All of the team have bent over backwards to assistance both my son and me.
He looks forward to going, has made some remarkable friends and I’m so, so pleased with his development from the age of 6 months to the present (he’s now nearly 4).
I couldn’t suggest Choochoos more. It’s been a loving, nurturing, and supportive setting for my son’s first steps in his journey and I couldn’t have done without it! My son has absolutely flourished at Choochoos.

December 14, 2024 at 11:40 pmPersonable team who keep us informed with photos and updates. Our son has thrived since being there. He was very shy and anxious when he started and with care and patience from the team, he now strolls in confidently and has learnt so much since being there. Updates is open and any questions or queries are responded to promptly. Incredible assistance for my son.

December 27, 2024 at 7:38 pmShe has had attentive and attentive key workers throughout and due to this has consistently been cheerful at childcare centre. She has formed a close group of friends and the childcare centre consistently carry out interesting and exciting activities. When my daughter comes home she is consistently keen to tell us what she has done and who she has played with.
We are given regular updates on her discovering both via teacher-parent conversations and through the app. My daughter has been attending the childcare centre full-time since she was one and we have had a fantastic journey.

Both of my kids are extremely cheerful at Choochoos Day Childcare centre and are well cared for by their key workers and their buddies.

February 11, 2025 at 6:27 amSome team talk less on pick up so don’t consistently get all the information of the day but I understand that they are busy times. A suggestion would be to have contact books like they did in babychoos as I prefer knowing and would save time on pick up and trying to remember everything. Team are consistently welcoming and my daughter consistently comes home cheerful.

March 3, 2025 at 10:59 amThe activities are clearly tailored towards the interests of the kids and team are open to letting the kid lead and create new activities around this. The pedagogic approach at ChooChoos allows the kids to develop their independence and their own character. The team lovingly guide their behaviour and work with the parents to create a consistent approach. What we adore most about Choochoos Day Childcare centre is that our kid feels truly loved and has developed an incredible bond with all his caregivers.

March 26, 2025 at 10:37 amThe enrichment of the setting and variety of activities to entertain, stimulate and educate kids is outstanding but also age-appropriate and enjoyable, meaning she looks forward to going every day.
