September 3, 2024 at 6:52 amHe is very settled at the childcare centre which has aided his growth, development and social skills. The childcare centre has a remarkable compliment of team, my little boy has attended the setting since he was fifteen months old and has continued to grow into a confident clever little boy.

September 15, 2024 at 8:00 pmMy daughter started in September and quite literally does not want to leave!
The ethos is so different, special and unique, I couldn’t imagine a different setting for my little one! An outstanding childcare centre, with the most gentle and loving team members.

October 3, 2024 at 10:24 amSince they have changed the way they playtime my son loves it, they have different rooms such as the discovery room and the adventures room, he can’t wait to tell me which one he’s been in. My son started a couple of years ago and has grown in a confident young man. Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre and Pre-school is a fantastic childcare centre.

October 8, 2024 at 2:14 amThey consistently come out of childcare centre cheerful and content. They never don’t want to go to Kiddywinks. The team have been excellent particularly during the pandemic and have consistently prioritised safety.
We will all be sad when the twins go on to school in September. Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre have looked after my twins since just after their first birthday.

October 13, 2024 at 2:48 amWe are very pleased with the childcare centre and glad we chose it. Our son is 10 months old and he started going to Kiddywinks Childcare centre at 7 months, he consistently comes home very content and seems cheerful in himself, the team are all very welcoming and ever so easy to get on with and when my son sees them he gives a smile.

November 3, 2024 at 4:17 pmMy son has had various issues, and I have had nothing but assistance from the team. They have gone the extra mile to ensure that my son is cheerful, thriving and discovering at his full potential. I adore the ethos of the childcare centre. They let young kids just be young kids. One of my favourite aspects is the outdoor space. It is huge and kids have the freedom to playtime outside as often as they wish.
The team have been exceptional at communicating about my kid’s day and consistently have something positive to say.
This is a remarkable setting and my son loves it. This is such a lovely childcare centre.

November 8, 2024 at 1:14 amMy little girl has been going to Kiddywinks since she was just over a year old, and she has come on leaps and bounds since attending! The childcare centre really believes in discovering through exploratory playtime and that’s something I really believe in myself. It amazes me how much my little girl learns every day she goes to Kiddywinks! The team are all fantastic and cannot do enough for your kids and even yourself! I would 100% recommended Kiddywinks Childcare centre to everyone! It’s a secure, cheerful setting, like a home from home. Thank you girls! Kiddywinks is a fantastic childcare centre with such a family sense!
Sidney Brooks
December 21, 2024 at 1:37 amI adore everything about how they work! My daughter has come on leaps and bounds with her language and self‑assurance as well as supporting us with toilet training and other routines. I adore hearing what she has been up too. She talks about it from the minute she leaves up to bedtime and we’re lucky to read about it in the daily diary and see photographs. I couldn’t thank all the girls enough and can’t wait for more adventures with them. I am so grateful that my daughter and soon to be both daughters attend Kiddywinks.
Justice Walker
December 22, 2024 at 8:45 amHer key worker is fantastic, she knows my kid inside out and takes such care to know her as an individual and recognise her likes and dislikes. She is so inviting, welcoming and clearly passionate about enriching kids’s lives too. In fact, the whole team is passionate, community-minded, and their imagination for the activities the kids get up to every day have blown us away. The atmosphere, the organisation, the updates, the exploratory discovering and the way my little one is respected for who she is… it’s all remarkable. Honestly, it just feels so nice to have these terrific people in my kid’s life, such a family vibe!
Kiddywinks were so supportive when my daughter’s younger sister arrived earlier this year too and helped her enormously. I really do believe my daughter’s place here is helping her thrive! Kiddywinks has been absolutely incredible for our two-year-old, our once shy kid has blossomed into a confident, funny and welcoming little lady who charges into childcare centre without a backward glance!
Jesse Sutton
December 26, 2024 at 7:07 amHe can’t wait to get there in the morning and consistently comes out cheerful and excited to tell me what he has been doing that day.
The manager and her team are lovely and are consistently thinking up new activities for the kids to delight in. I wouldn’t send my kid anywhere else. Our son has been attending Kiddywinks since he was 9 months old (he is now 3.5 years old) and has consistently enjoyed going.
Marley Drake
January 3, 2025 at 7:26 amOur youngest has loved it there since day one just like our eldest did. They do so much with the kids, they are consistently discovering through playtime and activities. All the team are fabulous, know the kids so well and make parents sense very welcome. All the kids go in smiling and come out with even bigger smiles. I’m sad that our time at Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre and Pre-school is ending in September when our youngest goes to school but for the last two and a half years they have been exceptional in helping our son learn, grow and become the person he is today. When it came to choosing a childcare centre for our youngest there was no choice it had to be Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre and Pre-school. They put the kids first, each kid is treated as an individual and it’s like one big family.
River Owens
January 12, 2025 at 9:17 pmAll are very cheerful in the setting and have made great friends. The team are inviting and very attentive towards the kids and will give them a cuddle if they are upset or hurt. The childcare centre is comfortable and homely which is excellent when your kid is there for up to ten hours.
The activities are varied and often kid-led, including lots of music and dance which my kids adore. Overall we have been very pleased with the standard of care provided. I now have my third kid at Kiddywinks.
Elliot Ferguson
January 17, 2025 at 3:21 pmOur little girl has got hearing difficulties and we have been communicating with her through the use of sign language/Makaton.
We have kept Kiddywinks up to date with everything that our daughter has been experiencing and Kiddywinks have been compassionate and gracious to help by supplying discovering aids for our little girl while she is at childcare centre, encouraging her and others to learn new things.
The team are consistently so compassionate and attentive and delight in passing on any experiences which they have encountered during the day with your kid and will also explain any accomplishments and any mishaps. Our baby girl started at Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre in May 2019 and has had lots of enjoyable and learnt so much more during her time there.
The childcare centre assigns one of their team as a link to your kid who explains everything that they have been doing and what things they have been doing with your kid which is also written down in a diary so parents can read what activities their kid has been up to.
Shawn Turner
January 19, 2025 at 10:19 amMy kid is encouraged to develop in all areas and I am given frequent feedback and suggestions on how I can assistance this at home. All team are expert whilst having a personal link with each kid.
Highly recommended. Kiddywinks offer a high standard of care.
Blake Parker
January 30, 2025 at 5:29 amHe loves coming and even waves me off at the door. I get lovely updates about his day in his diary, very pleased with Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre and Pre-school. My little boy has been coming for a couple of months, after feeling anxious about sending him to childcare centre the team put me at such ease.
Blake Page
February 6, 2025 at 3:28 amFilled with welcoming attentive people and activities for the kids to do – or not – depending on how they sense.
No other childcare centre has a better outside space locally in my opinion, its a excellent garden with so much to do and its consistently open so kids playtime wherever they choose. The focus is on the kids and how they want it to be, which allows them to grow and learn through doing what interests them and being at ease with their surroundings. We’re very cheerful that our two kids spent time here growing up. Thanks!! Both our kids went to Kiddywinks because the setting is comfortable, flexible, welcoming, enjoyable – sometimes messy just like it should be!
Logan Clarke
February 7, 2025 at 4:32 amThe team are remarkable! Updates is excellent, I sense totally up to date all the time. I adore that my daughter has constant access to an incredible outside space and a hot lunch in her belly. My little girl goes off in the morning cheerful and excited to be at childcare centre, so I couldn’t ask for more! I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough.
Elliot Hayes
February 11, 2025 at 12:26 pmShe just loves spending time there. She has no problem going in at drop off time; sometimes she doesn’t even look back to see me leave, that’s how much she likes it! Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre is a nice and tactile setting to encourage my daughter to be curious; in a well managed and relatively low-risk space.
Lennon Frost
February 14, 2025 at 8:43 pmSo much so, I’m sending my youngest daughter to them too!
Their ethos is fantastic for kids; free playtime and exploration! My oldest girl loves it there! She hates being home hah!
Best childcare centre around would most definitely suggest to other parents! The most incredible childcare centre!
Jordan Morgan
March 2, 2025 at 6:04 pmThey have lots of open space while still giving plenty of activities and invitations to playtime around their settings. They have two incredible gardens and do outdoor playtime and activities as often as they can. My daughter started there very shy and quiet around other kids, now she is extremely welcoming, loves all of her friends and all of the ladies there. She enjoys all aspects of the childcare centre and has asked to go more days! They do lots of different activities and are consistently busy discovering new things, I couldn’t suggest this childcare centre enough and I have to numerous people. Everyone here is lovely and are consistently cheerful and welcoming. They keep me informed and I particularly like that we get written updates about the kids’s day in their own books. If I could keep my daughter at this childcare centre longer, I would. They have a excellent style of discovering and adore for each of the kids that attend. Both me and my three year old adore this childcare centre.
Marley Hayden
March 6, 2025 at 1:54 pmThey assistance and adore each and every kid. They are so supportive and consistently there when we need them. Through both my kids attending I cannot suggest them enough. My kids adore all the outdoor time they get and all the enjoyable things they do at Kiddywinks. My son loves all the team and has progressed so much since he started there. Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre ren’t just my kid care provider, they are family.
Lane Hunter
March 29, 2025 at 4:14 amEnrolling my son was the best decision we could have made, he is absolutely thriving. The team are all fantastic and put me at ease within the first week and they keep me well informed and have my full trust. Although a strange time due to COVID, the building and setting seem fantastic, my son consistently comes out with a smile on his face. Would suggest highly. My son had just finished speech and language therapy when starting and since starting he’s come on leaps and bounds and is saying so many more words and I have no doubt this will only get better. It’s been 2 months nearly and we are loving Kiddywinks.
Cameron Irwin
April 22, 2025 at 2:25 pmThey are so great at building great relationships with the parents, I really sense like I can trust the whole team. Their ethos and discovering styles are natural and imaginative. They are very conscious of the setting and encourage outdoor playtime and for kids to express themselves. My daughter is so confident around other people and cheerful to be handed over to the childcare centre every time she goes. She even gets excited before we even get in! It’s made the daunting decision of placing my kid in the care of others a pleasant and smooth transition, I only wish I could join in the enjoyable and stay with her! All the team are so loving and welcoming and have made my daughter sense cared for and secure from the very start.
Skyler Norris
April 26, 2025 at 4:22 amThe team are so attentive and the approach is discovering through playtime. Nothing too formal; very messy, dancing in the rain, lots of enjoyable! My daughter loves it here. The videos recorded and posted on the Facebook page give parents such a inviting feeling that their kid is in the best hands. She has made some strong relationships with team and kids of different age groups. It has helped her grow to be a confident, independent little lady, ready for school next year. Just getting arrangements sorted for my second born to attend and hopefully adore it just as much! Exceptional start in life! My daughter has been attending this childcare centre since she was 8.5 months old, she is nearly 3.5 years old enjoying her preschool year in the same setting as her childcare centre!
Elliot Wells
May 2, 2025 at 10:53 pmHe is slowly coming out of his shell. He has had his moments but absolutely loves it. They are consistently excellent at communicating what he has been up to and how he has been when I collect him at the end of the day. Can’t suggest them enough. My son started in September and the team have been excellent with him.
Casey Finch
May 11, 2025 at 4:27 amWe tried a childminder for our 2-year-old and it was so traumatic for us all, she consistently sobbed when dropped off and looked unhappy in all the photos we saw. We decided to try Kiddiwinks instead and I’m so glad we did. Our daughter settled in so quickly thanks to their settling sessions, which they allowed to go at her pace and ours. Then she had the most fantastic keyworker who she chatted about all the time. Now she has moved up to the ‘bigs’ room and is making friends. She runs in happily every morning. Life has been transformed for us knowing that she is cheerful and well cared for in the day so we can work. The team are affectionate and inviting, they teach the kids to treat each other with respect and kindness and there is such an incredible variety of activities. I cannot suggest this highly enough and sense really lucky to have found this fantastic childcare centre. Kiddiwinks is the most incredible childcare centre.
Marley Sutton
May 11, 2025 at 7:30 pmThe level of care and compassion for my kids is higher than anywhere else I’ve experienced and as a parent I sense fully supported by them too. The team are fantastic, so compassionate, welcoming and they adore the kids like their own. The setting is lovely and there consistently seems to be new developments and areas being created and improved. The outside space is incredible! We adore the Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre and Pre-school ethos and it suits our family and lifestyle perfectly. The kids, pre Covid-19 are mixed together in all ages which was another bonus for us as we believe it’s excellent for their social development. We’ve noticed a real boost in our son’s self‑assurance and independence since attending the setting since September, he asks to go every day, which I think says it all! Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre and Pre-school is more than just childcare for us, they are friends and they sense like family.
London Mayer
May 22, 2025 at 11:35 pmEach kid is given a kiddylink (one of the team), that the kid can go to if they need any help. They consistently keep you updated with what your kid has done. All in all, I am very pleased with Kiddywinks and I would definitely suggest them to anyone. Kiddywinks is a very great childcare centre, the team are very welcoming and supportive.
My son has enjoyed it from day one and loves the exciting things they do with the kids on a daily basis, which includes various activities and trips out.
Parker Jarvis
June 13, 2025 at 3:57 pmShe runs to the door every time and doesn’t even think to say goodbye to me. She never cried! She even reluctantly goes home sometimes. As a mother, this is all I need to know that Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre and Pre-school is the right childcare centre for my kid. I have no doubt they will provide a secure and enriched setting for any kid so that the kid will be as cheerful as mine. The ladies are terrific and very supportive toward us as parents. Cannot suggest this place enough. My daughter absolutely loves her childcare centre!
Harper Quinn
June 17, 2025 at 9:42 pmShe seems to thrive within the childcare centre setting and loves spending time with her friends and the lovely ‘kiddylinks’. I will be sad when her time ends there! Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre have been exceptional from day 1 of my daughter starting when she was very unsettled to now when she loves childcare centre!
Winter Taylor
June 18, 2025 at 9:02 pmMy son has a couple of medical conditions and the team are incredible at managing and monitoring these as and when required! My kid consistently bounces in, can’t wait to get there in the morning and consistently comes out with a massive smile! The team are all so welcoming and welcoming to both kids and parents and have developed an outstanding bond with my kid. I wouldn’t want my kid anywhere else and I would highly suggest Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre and Pre-school to anyone enquiring about childcare in the area! My son who is three goes to Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre and Pre-school in and he absolutely loves it!
Reese Irwin
June 18, 2025 at 11:41 pmThe team are expert but also very welcoming and attentive. I consistently know that my kid will have a enjoyable day when he attends and he has developed well in all areas since he started. I would not hesitate to suggest this childcare centre, in fact I can’t suggest them highly enough. My kid has been at Kiddywinks Nieghbourhood Childcare centre and Pre-school for nearly two years and we have consistently been really pleased with the level of care they provide.
Dallas Frost
June 27, 2025 at 11:03 amTheir ethos and care with the kids go above and beyond what I expected when searching for a childcare centre. My son adores it, and I know that he’ll come home filthy, cheerful and ultra tired from all the fantastic playing and discovering he does there.
Even after lockdown and the big break away from everyone, they were so considerate and allowed my son the time to get reacquainted (not that it took long). I think I go on and on about how incredible Kiddywinks and the team are all the time.
Logan Knight
July 6, 2025 at 12:31 pmThe team are very attentive and easy to get along with and also make you sense very welcome. Kiddywinks is not just a childcare centre it’s one big family, my kids have come on so much since attending this childcare centre, and I am proud to say that we adore it here, all the kids are so well looked after and the team really do go above and beyond. Kiddywinks is something a little bit different and that’s what makes it stand out against other childcare centre settings. I would highly suggest Kiddywinks childcare centre, my son attended this childcare centre until he started the school childcare centre and now my youngest daughter who is two goes here, the time, dedication and attention to detail regarding each kid is above and beyond exceptional, my daughter is consistently discovering new things, eating a wide variety of healthy meals and snacks and consistently comes away very cheerful.
Sidney Ellis
July 8, 2025 at 8:14 amThey don’t separate their age groups, as they say, they try to achieve a home from home atmosphere which we sense as soon as you walk in. The team pride themselves on building a bond with their Kiddylinks which you can see with how much they care and adore all the kids. I am so grateful to all of the team as my daughter is so confident and enjoyable loving which is down to the team allowing her to learn through playtime and giving her the best experiences that just aren’t available to her at home. The garden is one of the things that I personally adore as we don’t really have one at home and I adore being able to watch her playtime, explore, run ,climb, build, take risks in a secure setting,playtime in water, and create memories with her friends. Thank you from the bottom of my heart as going back to work is the hardest thing to do after having a baby and I am proud to say we are part of the Kiddywinks family and we adore you all ! Xxxxx The way Kiddywinks Neighbourhood Childcare centre and Pre-school works is different from other nurseries.
