The staff at Kiddies' Cabin are all very welcoming and friendly. The outdoor facilities are amazing and great for my son, as he loves being outside.
My son always comes home happy and telling me he has had a good day talking about all the staff in his room.

My son started at Kiddies' Cabin after the 1st lockdown in 2020, we are so pleased with how much he’s developed in that time, especially after having 3 months at home with us. He went into the Buttercup room and we’ve felt supported and cared for by the staff in there. We also find the nursery management
team extremely helpful and approachable. My son has become a happy confident child and we would definitely recommend the nursery to others.

Really happy with the nursery and staff since my son started just over a year ago, at 2 years old. Everyone working there is friendly and my son settled in really quickly after leaving his last nursery. He is learning lots and the staff give good individual feedback each day. Facilities are good and
great inside/outside space.

The environment at Kiddies' Cabin is light, fun and welcoming. The spaces for different activities both inside, on the terraces whatever the weather or in the garden are varied and educational. The staff are very sweet, thoughtful and kind to the children. Would highly recommend this nursery.

We are very happy with the care provided by Kiddies' Cabin to both our children over the years. It provides the best value in the area, has excellent staff and facilities, and the children enjoy a lovely range of activities.
Our first child has recently left to start school and believe her experience
at the nursery has helped enormously. Our second child joined at 10 months old just before the pandemic. The staff have settled him in well and he is always eager to go to nursery each day!
We would highly recommend Kiddies' Cabin.

This nursery is all you want as a parent. They feel like family to us. Both carers and management are outstanding.
What I like the most about this nursery:
- The team and their professionalism: There is barely any turnover in the team, most of the people I met back in August 2016 with my first child
are still there. They enjoy their job.
- The children are their top priority and they want to make them happy. They are extremely creative in the way they interact with them. No children will get bored there!
- The communication is excellent: you receive a good overview of your child's day to day. Also, you will get notified if they notice something unusual (eg child crying when having a wee - possible wee infection etc).
During the first lockdown, they were very good at keeping in touch. We received activities ideas per email each week from the manager, we even got a handmade birthday card for my son's first birthday from all of his carers!
I highly recommend this nursery.

The children's safety is most important and they are good with that. The reason why I am not so happy to recommend the nursery is that I think they are just doing the minimum. The activities are not creative and nothing is really organised, they are just watching the kids. They could do much more.

Reply from Leigh Kelly, Nursery Manager at Kiddies' Cabin Day Nursery

The best decision I made moving my sixteen-month-old to Kiddies' Cabin. Staff have been great from the get-go. I know my child is safe, taken care of and developing new skills so often. Will highly recommend the nursery to all parents without any hesitation.

We are very happy with the policies and procedures they follow, and the communication we get from the carers is great. Kiddies' Cabin was recommended to us by friends and we would happily

Our daughter has been going to Kiddies Cabin for one year and she has loved it. She has a great relationship with all the staff and they are very helpful.
They have a great programme of activities and lots of artwork. My daughter did lots of phonics this year and this has really got her prepared for
school.

Kiddies Cabin Maidenhead is a welcoming friendly fun place for your children to learn and flourish. The whole team are hard working and committed to each child. The time the staff take to build relationships with the children is unremarkable. My child has been at Kiddies Cabin since 2015 and he has
grown and developed with the help of all the staff into a smart inquisitive young boy. When asking him what's he has done that day he reels off a list of things they have done (sometimes endless) Reading painting playing singing and he does so with such excitement. The whole nursery is kept clean to a very high standard and the children's rooms are more than adequate to stimulate and engage the children. I can honestly say I feel it's is a safe and caring environment for my child to be in and have no concerns in regard to the care of my child when in their care. Fantastic staff and a fantastic place :)

My daughter recently started at the nursery. She has settled remarkably well and so quickly for her young age (12 months). The warm welcome in the morning to the many cuddles and fun games make this a wonderful environment for her to thrive in. Her carers are a great professional face for the nursery
and demonstrate genuine care for us a family unit. We feel very lucky that both our children have had the joy of attending this nursery and would happily recommend them.

I am thrilled with the care that my son receives at Kiddie Cabin. The staff are fantastic and have a brilliant bond with him, this is evident by the fact he goes running into nursery every morning and is genuinely happy to see everyone. Seeing my son so happy and content has certainly made my return
to work so much easier.

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.
