    He is really sensitive and it took him a while to settle but the team were incredible.
    One of the things that is really important to us is flexibility around naps. He still needed a cheeky 10 min morning nap because he was so little and they facilitated that no trouble. I’ve heard of other nurseries insisting kids are on one nap a day which would have been awful.
    The team are so loving and compassionate. Our little boy is very attached to both his key worker and buddy key worker.
    We also adore how much time they spend outside. Our little boy started in November 2021.

    The team are incredibly attentive and have got to know him really well during this short time. There are lots of opportunities for discovering outside which he thoroughly enjoys. We are really glad we chose Kids adventures. My little boy has been attending Kids adventures for almost a month.

    He runs out the door in the morning excited to spend the day in this lovely setting! So far we have been really pleased with the forest school, the team and the personalised care towards ensuring our little one settles in.

    They care extremely well for my daughter and she loves going there, she even asks to go on days when she’s not in. The childcare centre (the management and childcare centre nurses) supported me through a very hard period, they went above and beyond by allowing my daughter to attend the childcare centre while my grandmother was in a coma, it made an extremely hard time just a little easier and for that, I’m forever grateful. I cannot speak highly enough about this childcare centre.

    Our youngest has just started at the childcare centre. When choosing a childcare centre, especially with such young kids, the most important thing to us was that the kid would sense really cared for – a home away from home. We absolutely found this at Kids adventures. The team genuinely care about the kids, and the kids build lovely bonds with both the team and the other kids. This allows for an setting where updates flows easily between the childcare centre and home, and any issues or concerns that are brought up are dealt with efficiently and thoughtfully, in close collaboration with the parents. The activities the kids do are extremely varied and interesting (from yoga to baking, to water playtime and art) and there is usually a weekly theme. The kids go outside for fresh air most days which is excellent – our kid usually comes home tired but very cheerful, and excited to share details of his day. Our eldest started at Kids adventures when he was 8 months old, and is now continuing in the Forest School.

    She is discovering all the time and comes home full of stories about what she has done that day.
    The quality of care is outstanding all the team are really passionate about what they do.
    She was really shy at first but going to childcare centre has helped her to increase her self‑assurance and make friends,
    I’m really pleased that we chose this childcare centre and I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it to others. My granddaughter loves going to childcare centre here, all the team are really welcoming and care about our journey as a family.
    She gets lots of outdoor playtime everyday and they do lots of trips out too.

    So much so, we opted to not start her at childcare centre school last September, choosing instead to stay on at forest school longer.
    She’s a “girly girl” and the adventurous magical atmosphere of this setting has her full attention! From making crowns, wands and potions to cooking garlic bread from scratch around the campfire and feeding the chickens – she’s enthralled!
    The team have been incredible with her and she has formed cheerful, loving bonds with you all. For that, her father and I will be forever grateful. Her 1st childcare centre wasn’t a excellent fit for her and we’re so cheerful we found this childcare centre as she had no issue settling in and finding her place amongst the adventure and enjoyable. You are all solely responsible for bringing along our very very fussy eater in ways we have struggled to at home! Thank you all so much! I cannot say enough positive things about this childcare centre and how my 4-year-old daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her year and a half here!

    He particularly enjoys all the outdoor trips especially to the Forest School, he is excited to get there in the morning and comes home with stories about building dens and making mud slides. He comes home muddy, tired and cheerful, it’s remarkable to see how his self‑assurance has grown since attending these sessions.
    I like how he is getting all these extra opportunities and I can really see that it is benefiting him.
    The team team are attentive and the childcare centre has a small and welcoming sense – thank you! My grandson goes to Kids adventures and loves it.

    The kids are consistently so cheerful and you can tell they are very well looked after and not just a number. My little boy has made so much development since starting here and it’s all down to the incredible team. The team here are incredible, they go above and beyond to provide the best care for the kids, you can tell they actually care about each kid and nothing is ever too much for them to do.

    He did delight in going and the kids do seem cheerful when they are there but we found the Forest school had poor updates, constant team changes, lack of information at handovers, zero feedback on kid development and our bill was frequently incorrect. We were told we would receive daily photos of their activities but that very rarely happened and we were sent about 4 photos in 12 months.
    I raised a couple of concerns about my kid and I don’t sense they were taken seriously.
    The team all seem nice but the Forest school lacks management and it doesn’t have a welcoming vibe. My little boy has just left the Forest School at Kids adventures after just over a year.

    The variety of activity that he gets involved in is exceptional, in fact, I wish I could do some of the outdoor stuff myself – den making etc.

    He’s come on such a lot in these few months he seems to be discovering so much within this setting and his self‑assurance is increasing.

    Thank you, everyone, at Kids adventures. When we took our son to Kids adventures we knew it was a slightly different approach with the Forest school activity but as he loves the outdoors we thought this would be a excellent journey for him.

    We have now been using the childcare centre for 6 months and I can honestly say we struggle to drag him away at the end of each day at childcare centre.

    They took the time to settle my baby in and made sure that I was confident in leaving her.
    The rooms are full of lots of lovely exciting toys and the activities they do such as painting and gloop are really great. My daughter made her first hand print painting which takes pride of place on my fridge now.
    The discovering book system they use is really great as it allows me as a parent to see what she has been doing and discovering whilst in the comfort of my own home and I can share this with her grandparents who live down South. It also allows me to put up pictures and videos that share my daughter’s discovering experiences at home with her key person.
    A big thank you to all the team at the childcare centre. A fantastic childcare centre, being a first-time mum the team took the time to go through all the information I needed to know.

    The team have great relationships with the kids, teaching them to develop their interpersonal skills along with practical life skills, such as fire safety and discovering though nature. The location and setting fosters open ended discovering through playtime, which is led by the kids and supported by the team. He consistently comes home cheerful, having learnt something new, which he is eager to share with us. My kid loves his time at Kids Adventures Childcare centre and Forest School.

    We have consistently found the team to be very attentive and nurturing and they have often gone above and beyond. The management have also generally been very flexible and consistently tried to accommodate changes.
    We have another baby on the way and will be keen to bring them to Kids adventures when the time comes!
    Thanks for everything. Our boy attended Kids adventures from 10 months until 3 years old.

    My little boy gets lots of outside playtime time and to go on trips.

    The childcare centre does several family events throughout the year too which means we sense involved.
    Most importantly though, the team really seem to care. The care is really personal, the team know my kid and my family – there is a real family sense here.

    The childcare centre has helped her to develop both socially and academically. She loves craft activities and outdoor playtime. The team are really attentive to her. Our daughter has a skin condition and they make sure that her cream is put on regularly, and her skin is looking really excellent now, with the regular application of moisturiser. I also believe she has much tastier food at childcare centre than at home! Our daughter has been with Kids adventures since she was 9 months old.

    He has also received incredible care from all the team. They go above and beyond, management consistently sort out any questions or queries that we have. Myself and my wife are extremely cheerful with the childcare centre our little boy is thriving and thats thanks to the care, adore and incredible activities that he does. Our eldest kid also attended the childcare centre from a baby right through to forest school. My little boy attends Kids AdVentures he has attended the childcare centre since he was 9 months old and has recently turned 2 and moved up into the next room.
