Overall Experience

We highly recommend this nursery for its outstanding approach to early childhood education and care. The staff are incredibly supportive, nurturing, and attentive, always creating a warm and welcoming environment for the children.
The range of activities offered is exceptional sports day and engaging

dance classes that encourage physical activity, teamwork, and creativity. The outdoor space is truly impressive, providing children with plenty of room to play, explore, and develop their physical skills.
Additionally, my son loved the nursery's forest school is a fantastic feature, giving children the opportunity to connect with nature, learn about the environment, and enjoy hands-on, outdoor learning experiences.
Overall, this nursery offers a wonderful balance of care, education, and enrichment activities, making it a fantastic choice for any family.

Overall Experience

Management and the entire Baby Room Team, I can't thank you enough for the incredible care and love you've shown my child. It truly means the world to me. I know she can be a little madam sometimes (and definitely strong-willed!), but you've nurtured her with such kindness and understanding. Seeing

her grow into the strong, independent, and loving little lady she is today is all thanks to your dedication. I'm so grateful.
From my child's very first day, she was completely at ease with you. She absolutely adores you all, and honestly, so do I! It's such a comfort knowing how much she loves being with you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making her transition to nursery so smooth and positive. You gave me the confidence to leave her in your care and return to work, knowing she was happy and loved. That's the most precious gift a parent can ask for. I'll be forever grateful.
With love and appreciation.

Overall Experience

Our little girl started at Sidcup Day Nursery in the Tots room in September 2024 after having to move suddenly due to a prior nursery unexpectedly closing down.
She's absolutely thriving at the nursery! The staff are all wonderful and so friendly. She loves the crafts and running around with her friends

in the lovely outdoor space, and devours all the delicious meals. And she's a huge fan of the weekly dance class too!
She's come home singing songs, identifying colours, and picking up her counting and alphabet, and she's not yet 2!
As a family we've also loved the Nativity play in the local church, and her art from the year is now hanging on the walls.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Sidcup Day Nursery and Forest School for making her transition so smooth and settling her in so well.

Overall Experience

As a parent, it's been a joy to watch my child grow and become so independent at such a young age. She always comes home happy, and we can see how much the staff genuinely care about her. She often speaks so positively about them, which reassures us about the supportive environment she's in.
The staff

have been fantastic in helping us with key transitions, from potty training to managing her fussy eating habits. It's no exaggeration to say that they truly help each child flourish. Their experience, warmth, and dedication give the entire nursery a wonderful family feel. We are really happy with experience in the nursery.

Overall Experience

When my daughter joined the school she had just gotten into the UK from Africa. English was the least of her worries, she was clueless and could neither speak or understand it but within a short space of time she now understands and is very confident in front of others. Though at 3 years she can't read,

she is now able to interpret pictures from story books. We look forward to yet another amazing year ahead with the nursery as EVERY member in the facility is loving and very patient with the kids.

Reply from Abi Daramola, Area Manager at Sidcup Day Nursery & Forest School

Thank you for taking the time to drop us this lovely review. We will continue to work hard to support her in achieving her developmental milestones.

Overall Experience

We are really happy with Sidcup Day Nursery, our daughter has been attending since September. The staff are very kind and friendly and always have a warm welcome. The garden is our daughter's favourite activity and she's often telling us about how she played in the mud kitchen, collected sticks and

had hot chocolate around the log fire circle. The app allows you to follow your child's day-to-day activities and entries are updated with photos and a breakdown of food eaten that day etc. We would recommend this nursery to our friends and family. Thank you everyone!

Overall Experience

I viewed a few nurseries around Sidcup and didn't get the feeling I wanted when I did the walk around. As soon as I went through the door here I felt the warmth. My baby girl started at just 7 months old (as I had to return to work) so you can imagine I was worried about leaving her with people that

weren't family but all the ladies in the baby unit are just lovely. They care for my daughter like she's their own and they have such a good energy every day at drop-off and pick-up. My daughter goes to Rukky with no hesitation in the mornings she loves it so much. Thank you for making the experience so easy and comfortable. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

My son took a while to settle in at nursery but two teachers in particular and the rest of the teachers were very patient and persevered to help him get used to it. Now my son really enjoys coming to nursery to learn and play with his friends. Thank you baby room team!

Overall Experience

We did show around at all the local nurseries in Sidcup and the area and this one stood out by a mile - for its genuinely warm atmosphere and the diversity among the staff at all levels. It's clear that this job is more than just work for them - it's a calling. Good vibes all around! It made the decision

an easy one for us.
Since joining, my child's confidence has come on in leaps and bounds and he's become so chatty! Every time I pick him up, he's in the middle of an activity and has the biggest smile on his face.
The staff are really dedicated, passionate and friendly-always taking the time to chat with all family members during collection.
Also, the observations staff post on the app platform are a great insight for us, allowing us to follow our son's progress closely.
As a parent, it's a huge comfort knowing my child is in such capable hands. If you're looking for a friendly and nurturing nursery, I very highly recommend Sidcup Day Nursery!

Overall Experience

Looking for childcare for your child can be the most daunting process and for me, it was until I came across Sidcup Day Nursery.
The staff here are exceptional and it's no cliche to say that they really do help your child flourish. The staff are experienced, caring and the whole nursery has a family

feel - we have been gifted with an extended family of aunties.
The nursery is well equipped, with an amazing amount of play space, particularly outdoor play and a forest school! There is always nutritious food served and you cannot fault their educational teaching and trips!
I cannot thank the staff enough for the care and attention that they have given and the peace of mind they have given me during my child's time there.

It's always a worry when your child first begins nursery, but it was such a positive experience for my son and us as a family.
He always came home happy and we always felt the staff genuinely cared about him he always spoke so positively about them. They were fantastic in helping us with the transition

from nappy to potty training and with his fussy eating habits!
The graduation was amazing, and photos and keepsakes we will treasure forever. We are all sad he now has to move up to big school.
Thanks so much for a wonderful and positive experience.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Sidcup Day Nursery enough! My son joined at 14 months old until he was 2.5 years old and in that time he flourished, his speech developed tremendously, he became more social and friendly, he learnt to like new nutritious foods and he just genuinely enjoyed going to nursery each morning.

The nursery provided a varied, stimulating range of activities to do every day and I loved that they have a forest school so he could be outside with nature as well. The environment was made even more appealing due to the amazing staff working there, who were always smiling and welcoming, not only of my son but were also very friendly with myself and my partner. We were always kept in the loop about everything and albeit always professional, it genuinely felt like a little family. The team have really helped my son grow and thrive in such important years of his life and I will always be so thankful to them. I wish them all the very best and again, thank you!

Overall Experience

Family Tree Nursery has looked after my son since he was 6 months old. He leaves them this year to start primary school. Each day he comes home happy, and well-fed. The menu they offer is extensive with lots of healthy meals throughout the day. He has made some really lovely friends and he seems content

and has learnt so much through them. His social skills- sharing, communication, and independence have soared since starting. He gets to be outdoors and physical daily (which he absolutely needs!) They also have lots of lovely additions including a music person, a sports coach and more recently a forest school session. We join in on sports days and at Christmas concerts. It has been a pleasure to work alongside Family Tree staff- all of whom are pleasant. We also get a really thorough update when picking our son up about what he ate, and what he played. He comes home with lots of creative achievements that he has made throughout the day. I would recommend this nursery to anybody. Thank you

Very helpful. My son has learnt so much being here. They care about all of his needs, as I would hope. My son is always excited to come here, which is reassuring as a mother. Would recommend it to others, and was recommended by a friend of mine. Very happy and would like to thank all the staff for what

The nursery staff are supportive and caring, my little one has settled in so well and is so excited to arrive each morning! The activities the babies participate in every day are varied and are designed with their development in mind. I’m so pleased with the food that the dedicated chef prepares each

day, it’s exposed my baby to foods they haven’t had at home. I love that I’m kept up to date with how my baby is doing throughout the day via the app, and if there’s anything important I need to know about, the staff will call me promptly. There have been a couple of episodes of miscommunication but this is a busy nursery with lots of staff. Overall, I’m very happy with the nursery and my little one is thriving here!

I would highly recommend this nursery to all parents who are looking for a small yet friendly and supportive environment to nurture their child growing up.
My son has been attending this nursery full time from 1 year old and we have seen an amazing transformation which we credit the nursery.
From

development skills to independence and the mud kitchen; my son comes home every day full of stories. As a parent, I love the daily updates on the app and also the friends he has made not only his nursery friends but all the parents and teachers too.
