Thank you for this Pippa! We love looking after your little ⭐️ she’s such a joy to be around. Xx
Hi everyone I just want to worn you. I was writing to this lady for a month, she promised me place. We book visit to have a look around and day before that she told me that someone else was there before me and took my place. Now I need to start looking again from begging. Absolutely unbelievable..!!!

Paulina…
Unfortunately we cannot leave open a space based on promises of you getting a job! Also you did not know what sessions you required until you secured said job! this wouldn’t benefit Kideos or you, this is because we only had certain availability on sessions and by the time you gained employment our availability may or may not have been suitable for you. Here at Kideos we work on a first come first serve basis whereby whoever leaves a deposit and signs the contract fills the place. You did arrange a viewing however as explained we did have viewings before you! We did also explain that we also have a waiting list that you were able to join and when you found out what sessions you needed we could find a solution for you.
You first contacted kideos on the 06.01.23 with enquiries which were answered all the way up to the 17.01.23 which by that time several viewings had taken place and unfortunately the available space was taken straight away with a signed contract and full deposit. I informed you of this and invited you again to join our waiting list.
Your exact response was as follows…
That's so unfair. It's unbelievable. She was first so she took place? If I was first to visit you then you would give place to me?? Unbelievable you are. I don't want your waiting list !! Goodbye!!!!
Unfortunately the only paddying we tolerate is from our lovely children at Kideos that we are trained professionally to deal with and not Adults that do not get their own way. Sorry!!!
You state you wrote to me for a month in your glowing review however I count 11 days from 06.01.23 the last being 17.01.23…. Mistakes happen I suppose but never mind it’s ok.
You rated kideos on the following!

Apart from Communication I find it really difficult to understand why you would go out of your way to try and deface my business just because I did not play to your tune! You have never stepped foot near kideos in order to rate me on these topics. Communication was excellent until you were told the place had gone!
I’m not sure what is going on in your life but clearly we got some end of that stick but just so you know we forgive you as our setting will continue to flourish as it has done for years.
Our door is alway open to you Paulina if you ever need any advice regarding anything that may be troubling you. We will try and help.
Much Appreciated
My daughter has been coming to Kideos for 2 years now, since she was 1. She has learnt so much from these three ladies. Although they are childminders, Linzi has turned the bottom of her house into a nursery and it is amazing. It is always spotless, they are always doing activities and going out on adventures and always having fun. They are so caring and genuinely love the kids they look after. I wouldn't recommend anyone else to look after children other than Kideos.
My older children have also been to Kideos and they loved it. Kideo's have offered so much support and help with my son who has SEN.
They are not just there for the children but also the parents too. I am forever grateful that these ladies look after my child and they will always be my friends even after my daughter goes to school.

My little boy started here in September 2019 at 10 months old. The transition process was fantastic and, as, my son was a bit distressed by the whole idea of being left by mummy at first, we were offered extra 'getting to know you' sessions at no extra cost. He now loves Kideos and all the team there. It is not like other childminders I've heard about. The setting is packed with resources and they spend lots of time making and exploring. Linzi, who leads the team, is caring, professional, flexible, and, most importantly, loves kids and is brilliant with them. Little touches like a craft activity and a chocolate bunny left on our doorstep during the Covid 19 lock down sum up the kind and thoughtful nature of Kideos. We feel extremely lucky that we picked this place and can't recommend Kideos highly enough.

Came across Kideos as my mum needed an operation and I wouldnt have childcare for 8 weeks. Kideos is fantastic, my daughter was 20 months old when she started and has come on leaps and bounds with being with Lyndsey and her team. Her speech, attitude and confidence grew when she started. She loves going and still goes now before school and in the school holidays. The service is fantastic, friendly, caring and yet professional in all aspects. Like I say couldn't ask for anyone better to look after my daughter she loves going

I was really anxious about leaving my son having had a bad experience with childcare previously.
Lyndsey was amazing right from the start and my son loves going.
Fantastic provision, nothing is too much trouble, Lyndsey is so approachable for anything and gives lots of advice, support and reassurance. Full updates on how my son has been during the day so I know how settled he's been and he's coming on leaps and bounds since starting with Lyndsey.
Cannot praise or speak highly enough of the provision and what Lyndsey offers.

That is a lovely thing to say... Kideos are happy that we could assist you and your family once again. Thank you for your custom Lyndsey.
Recommended 100%.......... Been with Kideos for months and have to say how professional Lyndsey and her staff are not to mention the setup... Very approachable especially Lyndsey who is always very jolly and full of beans. My child has come on leaps and bounds. I can understand why she has a waiting list...

Thanks for your custom! It was a pleasure to be of service and to know you and your family was happy with it.
Enquired and viewed some childminders around BD10 & BD2 and have to say kideos was a definate for me as I did hear some great comments about the place. I did however look at others before making a decision and kideos came up trumps with all it has to offer. Recommended...

Thanks for the review! It means loads to us for your honest opinions... Hope to see you at Kideos again sometime.
Been to visit Kideo's today as a potential place for my child. I have been to a number of settings of various kinds and I have to say how unique Kideo's is for a childminders! (a mini nursery set up id say)
The playrooms are solely for the children and there is even a messy room, I wanted to stay lol. A very friendly place and dedicated to allow children to have as much fun as possible. I am now set on where my little one will be going and know with the wealth of knowledge and child related qualifications the staff hold is great. The children were also very welcoming and played straight away with my little one.
Lovely place x
