What a great nursery/Preschool! My eldest Boy went to Kiddy Kapers and my youngest is still there and they've both had an amazing time. I've always been happy leaving them there with the wonderful and caring people who work there and it's so lovely to see them smiling when they come out. It's a very warm, friendly and welcoming place and I can't thank them enough for the care and enjoyment they've given to my Boys. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see their children happy 😊

Dear Gemma,
Thank you sooo much for taking the time to write a review for us!
Amina
Amina and the whole staff at Kiddy Kapers have been wonderful for my two children. They are genuinely interested in the children and their interests and needs, as well as very supportive and flexible with my own needs. Both settled straight away into the setting, due to the comfort, care and practise from staff. Leaving your children in other peoples' care is the hardest thing to do for a parent. I am so grateful for the patience and care the children have recieved and the smiles the children come out with from Kiddy Kapers.

Dear Katie,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write review for us.
Best wishes, Amina
Both of my kids have attended Kiddy Kapers over the past three years. they have now both graduated their preschool. I have always admired the friendliness of the staff and my children have formed genuine bonds with the staff. Always happy to give them cuddles of reassurance when needed.
Kiddy Kapers is very conveniently located next to the primary school I chose for my kids which I think really helps with the transition into EYFS. I Have raised a couple of issues over the years but they have very promptly been dealt with, Amina the Manager is always happy to chat and has been very flexible with me.

Dear Tom,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write review for us.
Best wishes, Amina
Outstanding nursery. It is ran really well my Amina / Emma. Good outdoor play area. Good indoor space with plenty of toys and games for the children to learn through play. Our son is an only child and due to lockdown did not have much interaction with other children. Amina and her team really helped him settle in & his confidence and behaviour has developed enormously. Special mention to Louise, Lydia, Kate and Anita who worked directly with our son. Throughout the year any requests we made were carried out. We were able to view pictures and text of activities our son had been doing via tapestry. My child was always happy to attend everyday. He is now ready to start school. Kiddy kapers is a fantastic nursery. I would highly recommend it as a great choice nursery for your child.

Dear Sukhraj,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review! It’s been a pleasure seeing him grow and develop into his personality and help him get school ready. We will miss you all on the daily pick/drop but hope we can still see him during the school holidays!
I've had 4 of my children attend Kiddy Kapers, with my youngest graduating pre-school this year. Over the last 9 years my children have always loved and enjoyed their time here. Any issues (not that there have been many) were met with professionalism and understanding, with continuous communication throughout their pre-school journey. I've loved seeing their development on tapestry and in person on their special days as they love getting parents and family involved in many activities on site. The staff and pre-school has and will be missed by my children and myself.

Dear Jennie,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review! Luckily we still get to see you all on the school run! X
Kiddy Kapers have been amazing from start to finish for our son, he has come on leaps and bounds in the few years he has been with them!
Amina and her team have been excellent, they’ve been so helpful, kind, caring and so much more. They carried on caring for our children throughout the pandemic and have been brilliant throughout.
They have been so flexible and accommodating I would highly recommend them to anyone. The attention to detail and feedback they provide at the end of the day gives you peace of mind my child has been expertly cared for that day!
I know my son will miss going to nursery, but is now well equip to head to ‘big school’. I would recommend this nursery and daycare to anyone! Thank you so much!

Dear Laura,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us such a detailed review. I will miss him so much but happy knowing that we still get to see him on the school run everyday!
From the moment I contacted the Nursery (that in itself was by high recommendation from friends and a sibling) Amina & her Ladies were nothing but genuinely interested in my needs & more so those of my Children. Both settled straight away into both their Rooms, due to the comfort, care and practise from staff. Leaving Your most precious blessings in other peoples care is the hardest thing to do for a Parent. Each comes with individual needs..and spirit! I am so thankful for the assurance I have gained and the smiles the Children come out with from Kiddy Kapers.

My little boy went to the Kiddy Kapers pre school and graduated from there in July 2019. I also have a younger daughter and I will definitely be sending my little girl here too. I know 100% that when I would drop him off, he would be in the best of care. The staff here really do care about the children. Teaching them valuable life skills and preparing them ready for primary school. They do lots of fun activities and make learning fun and engaging. His favourite thing to do was to go in the outside play area which is fab. I am extremely thankful for their contribution in providing him with the skills and confidence in his transition to primary school which has gone so well this week.

Brilliant nursery- friendly, accommodating and more importantly my little boy loves going to nursery - they have helped turn him into the little boy he is today.
They offer a wide variety of activities and all staff are brilliant with my little boy. Would recommend this nursery to anyone.

This nursery is absolutely amazing
Not only are the staff friendly and professional they are so warm with the kids. My two boys are night and day, and I never thought both could enjoy the nursery but somehow they've managed to cater to both, and have done an superb job with them.
They have a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities for the children including walks to neighbouring Brock's hill which the children LOVE.
I find the nursery to be very good at communicating the children's needs/ development whether at dropoff/ collection time of through the tapestry app.
Their before and after school clubs are also very varied to suit all the different age range and interests of the children
The staff at kiddy kapers really do go above and beyond, I cannot recommend this nursery enough!
