My nephew has been attending nursery for 4 months now and has come a long way since he started. He is always talking about all his friends at the weekend. The staff are amazing. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

Our little girl has been with the nursery for three months and adores her time there. She has settled in amazingly with the help of excellent support workers. We love receiving photos of the activities she does and she's always so happy when we collect her at the end of the day. We couldn't have asked
for a better nursery for her.

My daughter has settled in very well and now looks forward to it every day. This is all thanks to the staff who have done all they can to help both myself and my husband be comfortable but also to give my daughter great care. I already recommend the nursery and will continue to do so.

I couldn't recommend Kids Inc Day Nursery enough. My twins have been so well looked after for the last two and a half years. The care has always been outstanding.

My son has been coming to Kids Inc in Loughton since he was around 9 months old when I returned to work. The team were so understanding of how hard this was for our family and so reassuring. Being so young, I was worried - would he eat well, would he take a bottle, would he nap, would they know how
to comfort him when he was upset? The answers were yes, yes, yes and yes! He’s been attending for over 6 months now and the team are great engaging with him, I get regular updates, including photos, and there’s lots of sensory activities such as introducing him to paints, crafts, drawing as well as water and foam play. Does he still get upset? Yes naturally, he’s teething and there’s colds, but the team are great at keeping him occupied and giving cuddles when he needs them, and knowing that helps give me comfort. The food seems lovely and provides a great variety - and the team seem to have endless patience at meal times. All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend Kids Inc.

Since my twins started at the nursery at 3 years old they have flourished in their confidence. They absolutely love going in each day. The staff are always so welcoming and have a great relationship with the children. I was worried that attending for such a long day without lots of outings would be
too much but they keep the children well occupied and they never seem to have been bored.
My children are vegan and they have catered well for this. They always tell me how they like their pre-school food more than mummy's!

Both of our children have attended this nursery since after the first lockdown and we can honestly say we've been very happy with the level of care provided. They both have been so happy to go everyday and come home having had such fun bursting with stories! The location and car park make it easily
accessible which is really convenient. All the staff are always so welcoming and friendly and were so glad to have found this gem of a nursery!

My son has been attending this nursery for a year now, he always has a big smile on his face when we arrive at the nursery. All the staff are caring and are really good with the kids. They do lots of events for parents to take part in too, which we find good as we get to know other parents. I would
recommend this nursery to other parents.

My son has been coming to Kids Inc in Loughton since he was 10 months old, and of course, I was a nervous wreck at first. I did not need to worry - the staff in the baby room were so lovely and caring, and after a few weeks, he went in with open arms. Often when I would look through the window upon
picking him up, he would be cuddled up with the girls reading a book or singing songs with a big smile on his face, and I felt so much better. Now he is in the toddler room; he does not even look back when I drop him off! He absolutely loves it, and I know that the staff genuinely care about him. The activities they set up are fantastic; he has so much fun. I think the food is so impressive; he eats better than me at work! It's always healthy and a really good variety - his sheet almost always says that he has eaten everything they have given him, and I'm not surprised. It would be nice to get more updates throughout the day on the app - that's the only thing I can add! Would not hesitate to recommend.

I would highly recommend Kids Inc Day Nursery to everyone who is looking for a place to grow. My little one had such an amazing time there. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and care, for all your dedication, patience and for keeping personal belongings in order
(toys, clothes), helping with potty training, caring when she was not feeling well, making every day a fun environment, which was also very important. It was very sad to leave, and we are only leaving because of moving home!

We have been absolutely delighted with Kids Inc Day Nurser - Loughton and the way they have taken such great care of our son. Every morning we drop him off he is so excited and smiling to see the staff and it’s clear that they spend a lot of time interacting with him to make him feel safe and at home.
We get lots of great photos on the online system throughout the week so we can see all the fun activities being undertaken and every day our son comes home with a handwritten daily diary which is really personable and tells us all about his day.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.434)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.434) out of 10 for Kids Inc Day Nursery - Loughton 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 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 4.852 for Kids Inc Day Nursery - Loughton is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.852

  • 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 4.582 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Inc Day Nursery - Loughton is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 66 number of registered child places is 13.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.682

  • 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.
