Overall Experience

I've had two children attend this nursery and have both loved it. The staff are really friendly and helpful. They work very hard to accommodate the needs of both parents and children, I would highly recommend.

Overall Experience

Since my little girl has been at kaleidoscope Gildersome she's come on so well with her leaning and talking, I was so worried before she started with her not saying many words, now she's a little chatty box. She's always happy when I go pick her up, the staff are so lovely and friendly. Staff are so

understanding too I'm happy that I choose kaleidoscope for her.
The meals are amazing my little girl fussy with her meals but they always make sure she eats something. Never goes without.

Overall Experience

My little one has been going to Muddy Boots Nursery Gildersome since he was 6 months old and has been supported throughout every development phase. The staff take time to really understand each child and their specific needs and menus are tailored as needed (e.g. sugar free).
The activities prepared

for the children every day are amazing with new themes and activities to keep them interested and engaged.

Overall Experience

My daughter is in her second week at Kaleidoscope. I was very nervous about this transition, as she had been attending a childminder for a few months and was always very distressed at parting and reuniting with me and her dad. However, I had nothing to worry about. She is so clearly happy at nursery

and is thriving. She is making lots of new friends, getting so much better at socialising, and learning that being away from Mummy isn't that scary at all. I love the variety of activities she does every day, how caring all the staff are with her, and how much her language and motor skills are improving even in just the short time she has been there. I love the updates on the app and seeing what she's been up to each day. It also makes it very easy to plan sleep patterns and food for the evening, knowing exactly what she's eaten. I hope she continues to love it as much as she is doing at the moment! Thank you so much.

Overall Experience

The nursery location is great, plenty of parking at drop off/pick up. Inside the nursery is lovely and clean, many of the toys are from natural materials and there is outside space for them to play. The staff are amazing, so friendly and welcoming. My children absolutely love their time here. You receive

updates via the app of what activities/meals take place each day which is great to see.

Overall Experience

My daughter loves it here. All the pictures show a smiling happy baby.
Outdoor space it’s great and they spend time outside, all ages and in all weathers, which I think is great!
My daughter's key worker seems to have a lovely bond with my daughter and time really was invested in their relationship

when she first started the nursery.
They do some great activities and lots of messy play and also have external parties come in for music lessons.
The staff are friendly and supportive and I actually love how strict they are on the door if they don’t recognise a parent. Passwords must be given.
My daughter has experienced a wide range of foods with varying flavours and textures. It’s a very good varied menu.
I think the costs are expensive but no different to all the other day nurseries. Luckily, I will receive the free government hours eventually.

A great nursery with excellent communication and so many lovely activities for my little girl to do. She settled very quickly and has been welcomed by all staff members. She comes away happy every single day so I couldn’t ask for more.

Overall Experience

Kaleidescope Drighlington has been a fantastic nursery for both of my children. In particular my son who has a speech delay. They have gone above and beyond to make sure his time there is enjoyable and supported him on his speech journey with professionals and constant updates on his progress. I couldn't

be happier with them. Highly recommend!

Just a general all-around good nursery, always willing to help.
Any time I had an issue, the staff at Kaleidoscope Day Nursery (Morley) was willing to sort it out even at short notice.
My son has been attending since he was 5-6 months and now he's 6 years old and now attends their breakfast and

after-school club.
Thank you.

Overall Experience

Meals are not set for individual children's preferences and needs, even though you get charged for it which means my child misses out on a meal every week and is hungry at pick-up time.

Reply from Natasha Smith, Manager at Muddy Boots Nursery (Gildersome)

Our aim is that mealtimes at Kaleidoscope are happy, social occasions for children and practitioners. In line with our Nutrition Policy and government guidelines, we encourage healthy eating by providing healthy foods for children. At breakfast time we offer a selection of cereals or toast. Alongside various fruits daily. Allergies are very common, and we must ensure that all needs are met. If a child has a milk allergy or preference, we then substitute this with oat milk or soya milk. Although our aim is for all children to sit alongside peers for meals, we do understand the importance of individual needs and children's choices. Breakfast is offered to all children regardless of if they choose to eat what is provided, the opportunity is inclusive for all children.
We appreciate all feedback to continually improve our practice.
Thank you.

For a very nervous mum and a toddler with sensory issues, the staff at Kaleidoscope Day Nursery at Gildersome have been nothing short of amazing. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds in so many different aspects and always leaves the nursery in the most wonderful mood. Forever thankful for the

staff there and what they do for each child individually.

Overall Experience

My daughter started here back in March and wouldn't interact socially with anyone other than close family members. She would hide and cry if anyone spoke to her. On her settling in session she wouldn't even look at staff. Fast forward to now (November) and she's a completely different child. She's chatty,

funny and engages so much more with unfamiliar people. I put this down to the staff in green room and when she moved to red room. They have been truly amazing with her. My oldest daughter has attended this nursery and now attends KOOSH and still loves going like she did when she was little. I always recommend this nursery to anyone in need of childcare. Always go above and beyond for children so thank you so much!

Staff and management are so friendly and helpful and clearly care for all the children and their development.
Really varied meals especially at lunchtime.
Great to

get updates and daily photos on the app.

Overall Experience

Since my son started nursery he has come on leaps and bounds. He was a little upset the first week of starting, due to it being a big change from being at home with me for over a year. However, it’s a completely different story now and he thoroughly enjoys nursery and the staff there. The activities

they do are fantastic and are fun as well as educational. The staff are so patient and understanding of each child’s different needs. My son had really warmed to all of them and it’s nice to see his smile when the door opens on a morning. I also love the app and how it makes you feel very much present in the day that your child is having. Being able to see photos and have little snapshots of what they’re doing is great! I feel like this is definitely one of my favourite things about nursery and I look forward to checking it every day. It can be a daunting time having your child start nursery, but having the app and being able to see part of their journey is really nice.

The nursery is so supportive of my son who is SEN. They have done everything they can to ensure his needs are met and helped me with accessing additional support for him. They're all lovely staff and my son loves his time at nursery as a result.

Absolutely brilliant... the kids love going and ask when they can go next. Staff are great with the kids and parents/guardians, and take time to get to know the children and understand their needs. Our children come from a complex background and the staff have proactively worked with us to make sure

that needs are catered for.

They are great with him when he gets slightly upset when going in but he comes out with a massive smile on his face I just

Overall Experience

The staff here have been amazing! My son finds settling into new places difficult, he takes time to feel comfortable, but the staff have been so good, encouraging him and letting him develop confidence at his own pace. Not pushing him to join in with activities, but always offering him the opportunity.

I've really noticed how they relate to him as an individual, not just treating every child exactly the same. They are very good at sharing information and giving feedback when I collect him, which is always really positive. I would highly recommend anyone considering using this nursery to give it a chance.
