Our daughter loved her two and a half years at Kids & Co. The time and attention given to her really helped her build her sociability and confidence. It was great hearing her talk about all her friends at nursery. The amount of thought given to activities and in building experiences (like the trip to
the Woolwich Ferry) helped enrich her time at nursery. The expansion in her vocabulary and the number skills she developed were great. We also really appreciate the opportunity and availability of the staff to have a chat about her day, at the end of each day. Our second child starts there soon!

Our son just finished almost 4 years at Kids and Co Nursery and we're all so sad it's over! He had the best time there and was so well looked after, he joined at 9 months old during COVID and developed into a confident, loving and intelligent 4.5-year-old. He has since started school and begs to go
and visit everyone, he genuinely thinks of all of the staff as family and the bond they have is beautiful to see.

Our son had a great time at Kids & Co! It was lovely to see how he made so many friends at the nursery and enjoyed going there. The staff were wonderful and enabled him to learn, develop and have fun! It's a lovely setting with a great garden and a really nice homely feel. There'll always be a place

Kids and Co is the best! The staff are lovely and clearly really care about the children. My son did all sorts of fun and educational activities, e.g. learning Spanish, sports, Forest School. He gained a lot of confidence writing and participating in group activities which will really help him at school.
The staff work hard to make sure parents are informed about what the children are doing, sending photos and videos and detailed reports on progress against the early years curriculum.

Our son was in excellent hands at Kids and Co Nursery. The nursery boasts a modern, safe, and clean facility with bright, colourful classrooms that are fully equipped with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. The outdoor play area is spacious and well-maintained, featuring a variety of play
equipment, a mud kitchen and a small garden (forest school) where children can learn about nature.
Staff are highly qualified and genuinely passionate about early childhood education. The teachers are patient, attentive, and dedicated to creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere. The low staff-to-child ratio ensures that each child receives individual attention and care. We also appreciated the extra curricular activities. Overall we are deeply grateful that our son had the privilege to benefit from Kids and Co's nurturing environment and early childhood education. He was in very good hands.

Our daughter joined as a 9-month-old and is leaving aged three (as we are moving out of London) a confident, happy, clever and fun child. Kids & Co has been truly wonderful for her development - the staff truly care about the children and are invested in their likes, development and happiness. Our daughter
was reticent when she started and has come out of herself so much under the support and guidance of her carers at Kids & Co and has made great friends. We absolutely love everything about the nursery from the “home from home” feel, the forest school, the dance lessons, the trips out, to the vast array of toys and activities available for all the children. An absolute must-attend nursery for those in the local area! Thank you Kids & Co.

Wonderful nursery, everything you could hope for really - engaged, happy, attentive, kind staff; organised and responsive management and leadership; lots of extra activities including dance and language classes and trips out to the park on sunny days and into the village for cultural occasions. The
kids eat well, sleep well, play well and, in pre-school class, come home with stories about what they have been learning. Thank you Kids & Co.

Our child has just left the preschool room to start school, and we could not be happier with the care he received at Kids & Co. The Shark Room has been excellent at preparing him for school in a fun and engaging way. The staff are extremely warm and caring, and this has meant that our son has always
come home with a big smile on his face. We also have a child in the Turtle room who settled in well as a baby and now does lots of different activities throughout the day. These include water play, use of the sandpit and Forest School. The garden is better than any we have seen at a nursery before. The staff in both the baby room and Turtle room have all been lovely and nurturing. We would highly recommend Kids & Co.

Our son has had an excellent two years at Kids and Co. The indoor and outdoor facilities are outstanding. The staff are caring and professional. With being a small nursery it is so nice to see that all staff know the children by name. It really felt like a family. My son has come on leaps and bounds
during his time at Kids and Co. Thank you so much!

A huge huge thank you for being such a wonderful, nurturing, fun and safe space for my son to spend the first few years of his life. As a first time Mum, with my son I found it so hard going back to work, but he settled in in no time and has loved every minute of nursery. Thank you also for looking
after me when I was anxious or worried about something and for giving me a hug and listening to me. We have really felt part of the Kids & Co family and feel you have created a fantastic environment for kids to learn, develop, have fun playing and feel loved. My son was always absolutely buzzing after a day with you. Thank you!

My daughter has just left Kids and Co as she is moving onto primary school. Kids and Co is an outstanding nursery, the facilities are great and recently refreshed. But what makes the nursery so special is the team there. They are all so caring, kind, patient, fun and thoughtful that it feels like extended
family. From the Mum and Dad weekend events to provide opportunity to see the kids play and show their latest creations, to the birthday celebrations, there are so many small touches that show how well cared for the children all are. They make learning so much fun, my daughter loves coming home telling me all about the latest topic and what she's learning that week. Thank you to all at Kids and Co.

Our son has just finished nursery at Kids and Co and will start school in September. He was at the nursery for one year and we wish he had started at this nursery earlier! The nursery provides a lovely, warm environment where children are happy and secure. We have seen our son develop and learn so much
in a relatively short period. Our daughter who is two years younger continues at the nursery and we are thrilled with her progress so far and sure this will continue.

A fantastic nursery. Our daughter has just finished at Kids & Co Day Nursery having spent just over a year there. She is so fond of and comfortable with the staff. The range of activities on offer for the children is great. All in all a brilliant experience for our daughter and our son before that.

Kids & Co Day Nursery is an excellent school. We are so lucky to have found this space for our little baby to become a toddler, and then little girl, in the safety net and pedagogical environment of this nursery. We knew she was safe, well cared for and that we could be assured she was in loving hands
when we went about our daily business. I think our daughter genuinely misses nursery on the days we take her out and we want to say a huge thank you to all the staff, especially the 'turtle room', for taking such great care of her this year. Thank you very much!

Kids & Co is a very special nursery. It has given both my daughters a fantastic start in life. There are great indoor facilities, as well as lots of activities. The nursery has just been refurbished so it looks clean and modern now too. The outdoor forest school and pay areas are great, and the children
were taken to the nearby park too.
The staff are lovely, professional and good at their jobs. They built really strong bonds with both our girls - who have quite different personalities. The girls already miss them and the nursery. On the practical side, the admin and communication is clear and regular, with helpful prompts when we need it.
Overall absolutely fantastic - a great start for the kids.

The staff at Kids & Co are professional, kind and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond their duties and responsibilities.
The children always look happy to go in and are well taken care of. What really sets them apart is the extracurricular activities like dancing and PE with specialised teachers.
The mum and dad days are a huge success where the children and parents come in and have brunch with staff. The parents meet and get to see what their little one is interested in and who their friends are. They call the primary schools where the children have been given a spot and invite the primary teachers at the nursery to get to know the children before they start school. The whole nursery just got fully refurbished with a beautiful garden which makes it special with great facilities for the children. Kids & Co put the children first and offer full wraparound care.

A brilliant nursery on all accounts. The team are so caring and friendly that it feels like one big family. My son loved it and developed really well there for over 2 years. There is a nice balance of play and more structured learning. The pastoral care and help with things like potty training were
also excellent. He loved all his key workers, as did we! Proximity to the park, good outdoor grassy space in the front and back gardens (as opposed to just concrete) and a diverse range of indoor activities meant he was never bored. We built lovely relationships and we will miss this nursery a lot. They are also on top of admin/communication which is useful! Very much recommend it, if you can get a place!

Kids & Co is an outstanding nursery. The children are cared for in small groups by dedicated, experienced staff, who know the children very well. The communication with parents is excellent, with many personal touches, such as little presents for birthdays and Christmas. Our daughter spent a very happy
year at Kids & Co, skipped in and out, with many stories about her day. She loved her key worked and still talks about her all the time. Activities were very varied and creative and she made good friends. We just wish we could have kept her there for another year, but she had to leave for pre-school to be guaranteed a place at her brother's school.

Both of my children attended Kids & Co Day Nursery nursery over the last 8 years and I wouldn’t wish for a better place! We chose it for the outdoor space but very quickly discovered what a great nursery it is. Engaging indoor and outdoor activities, football and dance classes, small playground and
forest school, own chef - they have it all! The nursery has very strong leadership and all staff are very experienced, kind and fun!
They have very quickly adapted to the pandemic situation and have provided a lot of support for children and families during lockdowns.
My children will miss this wonderful nursery and I wish Kids & Co all the success in the future!

Kids and Co have become a second home for our child and it's with a bit of sadness that we now have to move on to primary school. Frankly, everything was great during those years, from the caterpillar to the tractor and the rocket room. Every stage came with great care from the teams and team leaders,
we felt the dedicated attention and also help for the parents was there. The odd incident was diligently taken care of, activities were varied and management was helpful and professional, also during the challenging times of covid. I put good only for space and for equipment simply because it is the only aspect I saw as limiting the staff and the nursery, but we felt all was adequately provided and well organized. All the staff were fantastic in caring for our child. Overall the staff is what makes the biggest difference for this outstanding nursery! Definitely recommended if you can get a place!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.904)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.904) out of 10 for Kids & Co Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.904 for Kids & Co Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.904

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids & Co Day Nursery is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
