My son has been attending this nursery for over a year now and I have only good things to say about it. The staff are amazing! They are all so friendly and I love that the staff members in other rooms all interact with the other children and know them by name. Shortly after my son started nursery he
had about a 6 week period of being very unsettled and not wanting to go, the covering manager at the time was really great in how she dealt with it she would call me after I left to tell me he settled and was happy for me to call as many times as I needed. They actually let my son explore the nursery and found he was a lot happier in the pre school room even though he was only 2 at the time. They were happy for him to join that room permanently if it made him happy and ever since we haven’t had any issues! Overall I’m very happy with the nursery and will be starting my baby girl here as well.

My son started attending just before his first birthday and has come on leaps and bounds since joining! Although I haven’t been able to go into the nursery much due to COVID I am really happy with the activities I see him doing in pictures/videos. It is a lovely purpose-built nursery, which was an important
point for me when looking for a nursery, also that the babies have a separate sleep room. He really loves going, the nursery staff are all so lovely and you can see they are very passionate about what they do!

This is a fantastic nursery! I have been so pleased with the progress my little one has made in the three years she has been attending. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The curriculum is varied, and there is always a new project or activity for the children to take part in. The nursery
provides a wide variety of breakfast, lunch and tea. The staff make sure there are many resources/activities for the children to engage with. I would highly recommend this nursery.

The team are like one big family and so friendly. They work well to make sure children are well looked after and meeting all their milestones. With daily feedback from staff and leaving my son with them at the nursery, has never been a problem. My son is happy at Kids Inc Day Nursery - Bluewater and
that is the most important thing to me as a mum.

My grandson started at Kids Inc Day Nursery - Bluewater when he was 9 months old and has just left to go to school.
I was very anxious when he first started as I have worked in early years for 49 years.
I must say he’d had an amazing time and great care and attention.
I would recommend the nursery
for anyone looking for childcare.
He is really going to miss going there.

This is a wonderful nursery. My son has been attending for three months since he was one. They have been so supportive throughout his settling in period, to both my son and us as his parents. The nursery is extremely well run; organised, clean, and all the staff are professional and friendly. I could
not ask for more from the care for my son and have total confidence that he is safe, cared for, and having so much fun.

My daughter has been attending Kids Inc in Bluewater since she was 11 months old. She thoroughly enjoys it and is very fond of her key worker. She often talks about nursery and asks to go when she is at home. They share monthly newsletters which are very informative and keep you updated on events, regulations
and anything they feel that parents should be aware of. They are so friendly and all the staff say hello to my daughter by name, even if she is not taught by them. This makes her feel very welcome. She often comes homes with paintings/drawings and loves to share what she has made that week. Two of the rooms overlook the lake which often has ducks and the big windows allow a large amount of natural light into the rooms as the children play/learn. I would highly recommend the nursery, the staff there work hard to make it a happy, caring and fun environment.

My son has flourished so much since starting at Kids Inc - Bluewater. His key worker has been amazing and really helped his confidence and brought him out of his shell. She has also been encouraging him to develop skills such as drawing and dancing, as well as getting to grips with counting, shapes
and colours. We have really been bowled over by how articulate and excited he is about the things he gets up to at Kids Inc. We feel so comfortable leaving him with all his lovely teachers and are really glad we chose this nursery for him. The setting is also lovely, I like that the children can look out over the lake and see the ducks and swans all day. I've found other nurseries to have quite poor management, however, Kids Inc are brilliant, very organised, good communication and you can tell the staff all really know the children they are caring for.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 3 months (now 2). The staff are absolutely wonderful, friendly, helpful and always make time to get to know not only your child but you the parent too. I'm always amazed they remember every single child and parent name too, they really do care
about the welfare of your little one. Each day we get reports on what our child did and we have an on-line platform to keep in touch with key workers. I love how creative the nursery is and there is a lot of variety in what the kids do and learn. They do have a small outside area but also make use of the grounds in Bluewater. Highly recommend.

An absolutely amazing nursery, parting with my child was always going to be a challenge but the staff here made the whole process a lot easier than I could have expected. They took each day as it came and kept me updated which, as a parent, puts your mind at ease. During her settles, I was able to stay
and watch how she was getting on which and helped the whole process not really for my daughter but for me.
My husband and I have seen a massive improvement in her development and we have continued her learning and development at home.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

Greeted by name from the moment he steps in till he gets to his class. As a busy single working mum Kids Inc helped me greatly by bringing this amazing little

Kids Inc Bluewater is an amazing nursery. I have sent both my little girls there and they have both thrived. The staff are exceptional and so caring. They focus on each child's needs and the staff are so dedicated to their learning and development. My youngest is currently in Pre School and is doing
so well. I love the regular tapestry updates that give me so much information about what she is learning and her milestones. My little one is so happy there and I am so grateful to the wonderful staff who take such good care of her. The managers are always so helpful and go above and beyond in their roles to make sure, as a parent, you are happy with your child's care. Nothing is ever too much trouble. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. I will be heartbroken when my little one has to start school next year.

My daughter started with Kids Inc when she was 18 months old, she is now 3 and has come such a long way. She is always learning new things and coming home singing different songs. She absolutely loves this nursery and staff members. Staff are always helpful, honest and willing to help. A happy atmosphere
every time I drop her off. Good safety measures in place and the food always smells delicious.
Well done to all the staff at Kids Inc, you make it a special place for our kids and I feel that my daughter is in safe hands when she is with you.

My daughter has been at Kids Inc Bluewater since she was 11 months old (now 21 months) and has had an overwhelmingly positive experience.


I was very anxious about the nursery experience as a first-time parent, but have only good things to report about this nursery.


The staff are very caring and

know every caregiver and child. My daughter has always gone in with no tears, and some days it is tough to get her attention to go home as she’s having such a good time!


The meals are varied and healthy, and this has really helped her to have a very positive approach to most foods.


I would very strongly recommend this nursery.

Both my daughters have attended nursery. My youngest has been there from Wiggly Worms to Butterflies.


I have no complaints in any area. The food menu is varied and my daughter has tried so many different things. The resources in each room are different so there’s no chance of boredom. The children

all get outside on a daily basis.


The staff are what make this nursery in my opinion. They all form bonds so strong with the children that no parent ever need worry about their child.


As my daughter moves onto school in September, I will be very sad to say my goodbyes. I honestly can’t thank the nursery enough for helping and supporting myself and my daughters.

My 2 boys went/go to this nursery, the youngest is still there. Before we moved to the area, my first son had attended other nurseries so I have experience of how nurseries work. Kids Inc is the best, hands down, what impresses me the most is the vast space they have and the children can all move and
play freely without feeling suffocated. Really nice, airy rooms and the place is colourfull, tidy and clean.


2nd point is the staff are very friendly, always welcome you with a hello in every room you enter. They open 7.30am and close 6.30pm which is amazing for working parents.


My only feedback is to help children learn, as I think there has to be a balance between playing and learning basic stuff. Paying over a grand a month for your children to just play and don't learn basic ABC isn't good, especially when they spend the majority of their time there.


Overall it's a great nursery and my youngest loves going there. ]I highly recommend them, as they are really good.

I love this nursery because my children do. The staff are happy, friendly and caring individuals who all welcome my son in the morning as we walk in through to his room and all say goodbye. It truly feels like an extension to my family (home from home). Whilst my eldest is now in school my youngest
is 2 and a half and is doing great with his learning but for me, at this age, I’m pleased he’s socialising and have lots of fun with his new friends and trying lots of new things. I leave for work knowing he’s going to be happy and safe and will have an awesome day and I’ll get to see some of this on the tapestry account. This nursery has laid a great foundation for my eldest who has had a super start at primary school.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.281)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.281) out of 10 for Kids Inc Day Nursery - Bluewater 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 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 4.889 for Kids Inc Day Nursery - Bluewater is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.889

  • 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 3.392 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Inc Day Nursery - Bluewater is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 106 number of registered child places is 21.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.2 = 0.142

  • 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.
