Fantastic nursery, great facilities and range of activities and the best staff. Both my children have been at the nursery from age one to leaving for school. The staff really know and care about the children, the approach is nurturing and fun and the kids learn so much without even realising it. I wouldn’t
hesitate to recommend it and feel sad that my son will be leaving soon! The nursery has given my kids a truly great start in the early years setting. Well done to the manager and the team!

Reply from Katie Baker, Nursery Business Administrator at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery

I am very pleased with the provision and care that Kiddie's Cabin Day Nursery provide for my daughter. In particular, I think the settling in sessions that the nursery offer are excellent and really allow for your child to form a lovely bond with their keyworker before they start. I feel that every
member of staff knows and cares about my child. I also think Kiddie's Cabin excels at providing a community base for new parents through the coffee mornings and fetes that they run, which helps parents and children feel they are part of a community and benefit from the support that provides. The Outdoor space is excellent and my daughter comes out happy every day. The staff are excellent at communicating with parents and very approachable and I feel I am very well informed about my daughter's day. Thank you Kiddie's Cabin!

Reply from Katie Baker, Nursery Business Administrator at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery

It's also lovely that you feel Kiddies' Cabin is a supportive community for your family. We will pass on your comments to the team who will be so pleased.

My daughter started at Kiddies' Cabin in April of this year and is loving It. At just over a year old, I expected tears and clinginess, but she has settled and is very happy with her key worker and all the other ladies in the nursery!

In my opinion, this is the best day nursery in Maidenhead. My son has been attending this nursery since he was 1 year old and soon he will be graduating to go to school. He has got the best care from all the staff and his key carers. He has learned and developed so many skills during his time there
and made a lot of good friends. Being a parent we got all our requirements fulfilled and we made new connections and friends. I definitely recommend this nursery.

Reply from Katie Baker, Nursery Business Administrator at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery

We are also so pleased that as parents your experience has been positive too. The team at Kiddies' Cabin will be grateful for your kind words which will be passed on to them. Please stay in touch once your son goes to school as we love to know how our children get on when they leave us.

Wonderful, amazing, helpful staff who work there from the admin team to the teachers. We were on the waiting list to begin with but the office team called every so often to check if we were still interested in a place, which was great because they didn't just forget about us.
The growth and development
of our child is testament to the great work his teachers put in towards teaching him and helping him everyday.

Our daughter absolutely loves Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery and is always excited to go. The staff are all lovely and really helpful. We have recently started potty training and it hasn’t been straight forward to say the least and they’ve been super patient and motivated us to not give up. It provides
us with such comfort that that she seems confident and happy there. Thank you!

My son started at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery at aged nine months in November 2020. He settled in really well due to the care and attention provided and is really thriving there. The staff are really friendly, supportive and the facilities, in particular the garden are perfect for the children. The range
of activities planned each day seem to really engage the children and it's great that they spend lots of the outdoors.

My son has really flourished since joining Kiddies’ Cabin Day Nursery earlier this year. His confidence with singing has improved so much and he regularly surprises me with new songs and rhymes he has learned at nursery. He is also more adventurous with climbing, jumping and swinging. He loves attending
nursery and looks forward to his time there. Would highly recommend Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery as a place to grow and flourish.

Excellent facilities and members of staff. My little boy adores his key workers and looks forward to days at nursery. Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery made potty training a breeze for us as first time parents. We’re given lots of creative art work each week, this never happened in his previous nursery.The
staff have been really sensible the last thirteen months, making life just a little bit more like normal during the pandemic. Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery kept in touch over the national lockdown and provided activities when the nurseries couldn’t open. Would highly recommend.

My daughter absolutely loves Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery, she’s as happy to go to nursery as she is happy to be picked up, she talks about her key worker at home and has learnt so much since being there. The settling in process was really thorough, especially considering ours was during Covid-19. We
couldn’t be happier with the care and support she gets at nursery, highly recommend.

My son has attended Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery in Maidenhead for the last two years. I am so happy I chose this nursery for him as I cannot fault them in any way. Management are amazing and every single staff member shows so much care for each and every child. My son has progressed so much and found
his love of singing through the nursery! Throughout lockdown in 2020 we received regular emails from the nursery with activities to do and general updates on the nursery. This was so important for us as a family as we didn't want our son to think that he wasn't going back and these emails really helped. I would one hundred percent recommend Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery in Maidenhead to anyone.

We moved to Maidenhead from London in December 2020 and our children, daughter aged four and son aged two have been at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery since then. The nursery has been so welcoming and supportive of our kids, especially during what has been a very difficult time through the winter lockdown.
They both settled in really quickly and have gone from strength to strength thanks to the care and kindness of all of the staff. They really enjoy their days at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery and are always full of tales of all the fun things they have done. We are so grateful to all the team for looking after them so well.

After three years at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery we couldn't be more grateful for the positive and nurturing environment that they have provided for our daughter. I am ever hopeful that as one daughter leaves for primary school, our other daughter will get a place and we will have a few more years to
enjoy it still. We have been through all four classes at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery, having started when our daughter was one. The induction experience was second to none, she settled so easily with the offer of regular sessions in advance of her start date and by the time I started work I didn't need to worry about tears at drop off any more. We love the flexibility of staff to children's needs such as naps, the fresh air decking that she can access all day and the tailoring of activities to her age and ability, particularly noticeable in Bluebells and prepping her for school. We also love the offering of external activities such as music and dance classes and the relationships and fondness my daughter has developed for her carers in all classes. We just love it all!

Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds and talks with such excitement about her days at nursery. She comes home most nights with artwork or creations that the staff have put together for her and she really enjoys the dance classes that they put on. Covid-19 aside, the team are really good at putting
on regular events and encouraging parents to attend. We certainly miss being able to go inside and sign her in each day but it is testament to the staff how well settled all the children are being dropped off outside due to the circumstance and there are very few tears from any children. We love the addition of the whiteboard outside telling us what each class has been up to and find the thorough download of her day such as meals, activities and sleep very helpful. When we viewed other nurseries, many had apps with daily updates instead but after three years of experience we have come to value the conversations with her carers at end of day and love reviewing the photos in her learning journal.

We currently have our second child attending Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery on a full time basis. As with our first child, we are very happy with the care provided by all the staff at the nursery. In these strange and uncertain times they have given us reassurance and comfort and at no point have we felt
uncomfortable or unsafe leaving our child with them. Both of our children have enjoyed the nursery a lot and have made many good friends there, both children and adults. We can definitely recommend Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery.

Great activities provided on a daily basis and children reach milestones. Good communication with parents. Regular nursery update with emails. My son loves coming into the Buttercup room and has made strong relationships with all staff members. Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery have a fabulous outdoor space
with two very large gardens and they spend a lot of time in the garden which is excellent for physical development. During the Covid-19 period, activities were emailed and we received videos of staff singing nursery rhymes. Very happy with Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery. My son has developed so well at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery with the two days he attends.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for Kiddies' Cabin 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 4.911 for Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.911

  • 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 Kiddies' Cabin 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, 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.
