    She enjoys the specialist teacher sessions such as yoga, in particular, and the outdoor trips they go on as well. She has gained such self‑assurance and independence since being there as team fully supports you in all the key milestones as well. I have consistently felt cheerful and secure leaving my daughter in their care as all team are so welcoming and develop key relationships with the kids to understand each kid as an individual as all their needs are different. My daughter has been at Queens Childcare centre now for nearly 2-years since transitioning from the baby childcare centre and consistently comes out cheerful and looking forward to going in next!

    We had asked our kid’s key worker to help her start to write the alphabet and they immediately started working with her to do so, which was such a pleasure to see. The team organise for the kids to do many educational and enjoyable activities, including visits to the woods and surrounding shops, which our daughter loves. She also loves the yoga and Bongalong classes, where songs/ childcare centre rhymes are taught. I would highly suggest this childcare centre. All of the team are very welcoming and approachable.

    The garden/outside space is a little limited but this is made up for by the regular trips out to the forest and into the local community. The childcare centre provides a great array of special outside visitors/classes. There is an outstanding onsite chef and the main food provided is varied and nutritious, with a menu that changes every 6 months or so. All in all, we have been very cheerful with Queens Childcare centre and highly suggest them. The childcare centre has attentive, dedicated team who provide outstanding care to the kids and our son quickly became very attached to his key worker.

    We’ve been really pleased with the childcare centre since then. There is a really wide range of activities, many of them outside the childcare centre such as visits to local businesses, or the forest. These give really excellent discovering experiences. Updates is outstanding and our kid is very cheerful and settled at the childcare centre. All the team and especially the key worker, have formed great bonds with our kid. The only small negative is that outside space is limited, but what they have is used well and supplemented with visits to the forest, park etc. My kid moved to Queens Childcare centre quite recently following a house move into the area.

    He absolutely loves it and runs in everyday. The childcare centre has a lovely, inviting and inviting culture, which was something really important to us when choosing a childcare centre. Everyday there is a new activity or journey planned and he seems to be really thriving from the variety. The general communications from the team including management is excellent. Our son has been attending Queens Childcare centre since he was a year old, he was in the baby one room before.

    Queens Childcare centre have consistently gone above and beyond in organising trips to the forest and within the local area, sending home activities to do and books to read. I adore that over the years they have daily specialist educators in music, yoga, baby ballet, phonics etc. attending the childcare centre. Every day the activities are really well planned and well thought through, with a view to developing the kids through playtime. I have consistently felt like I’ve been kept well informed about what is happening at childcare centre and the educators are also very nurturing. Both my sons (one now aged 6 and the other nearly aged 4), have attended Queens Childcare centre and we’ve been very pleased with the care they have received over the years.

    She has been at the pre school since 2020 and has built a lovely relationship with the team and her peers. I am consistently impressed by the effort made to take the kids on exciting outings and trips to the forest. The team at the childcare centre are lovely and compassionate and I couldn’t ask for anything better. My daughter absolutely loves going to this childcare centre.

    The team are so attentive and creative and my daughter absolutely loves going in. The team also make a huge effort to keep parents updated and involved in childcare centre activities, which is so lovely. I sense like the experiences at childcare centre are imaginative and engaging, as well as having incredible people to come into the childcare centre too to update on whether it be their jobs or real-life experiences. I sense like the team goes above and beyond to make it educational but enjoyable for the kids and I couldn’t suggest them highly enough! The most remarkable childcare centre with a fantastic team!

    Both my kids have attended here and we have never had an issue at all. All the team are very well trained and are incredible with the kids. I have never left my kids here and worried about them at all. We are so grateful for all the team and everything that they do. We absolutely adore Queens Childcare centre.

    There is so much care and attention and each kid is focused on and each key worker we’ve had has been so attentive and personalised their approach to our little one. They go over and above in terms of activities – e.g. forest walks and activities, clay workshops, cooking and baking and involvement and outings in the local community, as well as specialised classes and educators for yoga, French, ballet and music – and they also do monthly home activity packs. They’re very communicative in person and via the app. Highly suggest – they really do stand out in comparison to other nurseries and preschools – team and management are lovely and supportive and really care about what they do. Absolutely outstanding childcare centre and preschool – our little one started in baby childcare centre and has progressed to pre-school.

    He has consistently been very cheerful to go to Queens and the various activities organised by the childcare centre have aided his physical, social and emotional development. The team are very attentive to the needs of the kids and any issues or problems related to the kid are addressed promptly. The team are also very prompt in recording the daily log, observations and accidents in the app, and regular feedback is provided by the team to the parent on the development of the kid. Overall, I’m very cheerful with the childcare centre and would highly suggest it to everyone. My son has been going to Queens since he was a year old, first to the baby childcare centre and now to the pre-school childcare centre.

    He takes part in weekly French lessons and now uses some French in his vocabulary. There are multiple parent events monthly, which are well-planned and allow families to mix and build relationships. The manager is consistently at the end of the phone and email with help with anything. One of the room leaders is exceptional and my son adores her. My son attends Queens Childcare centre full time and I cannot fault his care in any way.

    My daughter has been thriving in this remarkable place. The team, quality of activities, food, setting and engagement with parents is exceptional. We sense really lucky! We waited a long time to get a place at the childcare centre, and I am so pleased we finally did.

    I really appreciated the effort that the childcare centre puts into organising different types of trips and activities for kids and also their effort to involve parents. The team are very welcoming and supportive. They are also excellent at teaching and preparing kids for school. My daughter can now write her name and she is very great at counting. They also talk about different topics like space, recycling and the setting. I like the childcare centre initiative to show the local community to kids as well. The only drawback of this childcare centre is the fees, which steadily go up every year by a substantial amount. My daughter loves Queens Childcare centre, she has lots of friends there and enjoys the activities.

    The activities and general level of engagement are of a very high standard with considered and thoughtful themes and coordination consistently applied. They are a positive, energetic and fantastic influence on our two kids who attends and we are so pleased with our decision to send them here. Great behaviours are instilled across all ages and classes and the practical side of childcare centre life (meal times, naps, potty training etc) are all exceptional. Thank you to all the fantastic team who provide our kids with a home away from home during their days there! The team at Queens Childcare centre are truly remarkable!

    First the baby childcare centre and now the toddler childcare centre, just up the road. I’ll be honest, I primarily chose this childcare centre for its location as I don’t drive. I thought the premises and activities were great, but I didn’t have anything to compare to as this was my first bub. I have and continued to be blown away by the attention to detail and care that the team provide. The activities that the kids do are insane and I adore the updates on the app as well as the weekly email updates from the manager, with pics and descriptions of what everyone’s been up to and what is coming up. I really don’t think they could do any more. There doesn’t seem to be a high team turnover and my boy is cheerful there, with the team and other kids who he has grown up with, the last couple of years. They are receptive to feedback and have been understanding with recent difficulties we’ve had with our childcare account. Thank you all so much. My son has attended this childcare centre for two years.

    Team are attentive and attentive, they organise many activities and outside trips, and look after each kid’s individual needs (for example potty training). Get daily updates on the app including photos and videos of what your kid has been doing. Very cheerful with the choice of childcare centre we made for our son. We will be sending our younger son there too, can’t think of a better endorsement than that. Excellent childcare centre, our son has been there for nearly 6 months now, we’ve been very impressed.

    We continue to be incredibly impressed and sense so lucky that he is somewhere that genuinely cares about him and his development. He absolutely loves it. Not only is the childcare centre incredibly creative and thoughtful when it comes to the activities they do, but I am also envious of his day as it seems so enjoyable. The team are so lovely, patient, welcoming and attentive. The take-home activities are well thought out too, and the childcare centre itself just has a lovely sense to it. It’s a very well-rounded pre-school journey and we are so grateful to them all. He calls his key worker his best friend, which says it all. Thank you for everything you do! Our son has been at Queens Childcare centre for around 9-months now.

    All the team are very attentive and welcoming, and our girls talk about their keyworkers all the time at home. Our girls have come on so well. Having spent a lot of time in lockdowns, they had been quite shy, but the team have been exceptional at helping them to settle in and build their self‑assurance. There’s consistently something exciting going on, whether it be specialist classes, trips out or loads of enjoyable activities. We adore to receive the app notifications that show us what they’ve been up to! Thank you so much to all the team, we highly suggest Queen’s Childcare centre! Our twins have been attending Queen’s Childcare centre for nearly a year now, since transitioning from baby childcare centre and they adore it!

    Our son is very cheerful to go in every morning. It feels that he consistently has a great day at childcare centre. They provide kids with so many activities, not only at the childcare centre itself but also to take home. Thank you to all of you. The team are very welcoming and attentive.
