I am so over the moon to have found this preschool for my child! They have been to a couple before here, and never really settled, but are very happy at Active Kids and talk about their friends and teachers at home all the time. The staff have really helped my child specifically with a speech confidence
issue that was diagnosed earlier this year, and with their support and guidance, he has come on in leaps and bounds. I am so thankful to have found this very special setting and would happily recommend Active Kids to all parents looking for a safe, caring environment for their little ones.

My son has been at Active Kids for the past 3 years. He had no problem settling in at 15 months old and has continued to love it since! The staff are all fantastic and have nurtured him through the different rooms, using play to ensure he is at key stages and ensuring he was ready for school when that
point came.

My daughter has attended Active Kids Nursery for over 4 years since she was 8 months old. Throughout her time there, there has been a consistent workforce, the key workers are amazing and are always on hand to offer support when needed. They take a very outdoor approach to learning and spend a lot of
time outside in the garden. The home-cooked meals I believe are lovely too, as my daughter frequently has seconds! They are a small family-run nursery that has a very personal and welcoming feel to it. My daughter has always been really enthusiastic about going, which is reassuring as a parent. I would highly recommend Active Kids.

I have one child at this nursery and they have been there for just under 2 years. The nursery setting is lovely, the outside space is amazing and the staff work hard to refresh the equipment so there is always lots for the children to explore. The staff are so friendly, it is like a little family and
everyone knows everyone, which is great when children are moving up through the classes. My child has been really supported with learning and development and I get regular updates through the app.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My daughter has attended Active Kids since she was 9 months old, and she is now 2. She gets so excited when she goes and is so happy when I collect her. All the staff are really friendly, switched on and really seem to care about all the children. The activities are brilliant, both inside and outside,
with great healthy meals also. I always feel at ease leaving her, as I know she has a brilliant time and is well looked after. A great nursery, lovely staff, and a big emphasis on nature and outside playing.

I can’t recommend Active Kids Day Nursery enough, my little boy has been attending the setting since he was 9 months old. He’s now 25 months and has moved from the baby room to small toddlers and is now in big toddlers. He’s the brightest little boy and whilst I’d love to take all the credit, much of
it lies with the Active Kids team. They really go above and beyond to make sure that the children are educated, nourished, and cared for. He has genuine bonds with a number of the team there, I feel thoroughly reassured that he is safe and secure there. We moved almost a year ago but made the decision to keep my little boy at Active Kids as he was absolutely thriving there. I don’t regret that decision one bit, the commute there and back is worth it!

I have 2 children who attend this nursery and they both absolutely love it. They settled in really quickly, and I feel like all the staff know them both really well. They always eat a healthy meal and spend some time outside, and do lots of drawing, painting and craft activities as well as educational
ones. The app is always updated with information about what they’re doing and lots of photos too. Communication is great, and they were very supportive with potty training. I feel completely happy that they’re safe, well cared for and having fun when they’re there and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone, and will be sending my youngest soon.

Ever since he started attending Active Kids Nursery, we’ve noticed a big improvement in his social skills, learning abilities, and general moods. He absolutely loves going there and he’s made loads of friends and he’s very fond of the carers. He asks constantly to go to the nursery and he’s very happy
when we take him there. We’re also very happy with the level of care and attention the staff at the nursery give to our child; they keep us informed constantly and know him on a personal level. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!

My son has been coming to Active Kids since he was 9 months old, he is nearly 4 now and will miss it when he starts school in September. The nursery has a great outdoor space that is used as much as possible, my son loves it when they play outside on the bikes, zip wire and lots of other toys. He also
loves it when they do other activities such as rugby and drama. The staff are very friendly and I have always felt very welcome when I have dropped off or collected my child. He always eats well, loves the home cooked food. I would definitely recommend active kids.

I have had two children at Active Kids Day Nursery. One has now left to go to school and my son still there, both my children started going from 9 months old and they have been brilliant to us as a family, very helpful kind staff, with a caring environment. My children arrive happily and leave even
happier. They've had brilliant bonds with the staff and I never go to work and worry about them. I would highly recommend Active Kids Day Nursery. Thank you to all the team for the great job you do.

I cannot recommend Active Kids enough! My little girl has been going to Active Kids since last February and loves it. I have seen a massive difference in her development since starting, my daughter has even come home using sign language she has learnt. They are always busy doing activities, how they
fit everything in one day amazes me. The kids spend as much time outside as possible which I LOVE. The outside space is definitely a unique selling point and is such a fantastic space for the kids.
My daughter eats better at nursery than she does at home. She loves the food at nursery, they always make things I would never think to make at home. All in all, I would really recommend Active Kids, it's such a lovely place for children to go and I never feel worried about her while I'm at work. This is all thanks to the wonderful team which are fantastic!

Our 18 month old daughter has been going to Active Kids for five months now and we are extremely happy with all aspects of the nursery. The food, staff and facilities are amazing and we feel more than comfortable that our daughter is in a secure environment. She has gained confidence and always comes
home happy after doing a variety of indoor and outdoor activities each day that are communicated to us via the app. Outdoor space and caring staff were key to our nursery choice and Active Kids certainly tick these boxes!

I’m really pleased with how quickly my 20 month old has settled. The staff seem really happy and stable which is something I look out for when choosing a nursery. The outside area is amazing and I love that the children get a good period of time outside whenever possible. I get daily feedback on all
the important things but most of all, I love the fact they take an interest and show genuine love for him as a little person. I know for sure he is well cared for.

If you're looking for a nursery with ample outdoor space for little ones to enjoy and explore look no further than Active Kids. My two older sons have now left, with just my youngest attending. The bigger boys loved their time here, playing, exploring and learning. My youngest son has settled in marvellously
and created bonds with staff and his peers. He gets up to so many varied activities, be it messy play, outdoor play or quiet time, the range is imaginative and endless. The menu is varied helping the younger ones to try new tastes and texture - an excellent chef! Thank you Active Kids team to your hard work and dedication, my kids (even the older ones) love it!

Thank you so much for this review. It means the world to us and makes all the hard work worthwhile. We have thoroughly loved looking after all 3 of your boys, they are all such a delight and thank you for your dedication to us.

Both my children now attend Active Kids and love it. There is a friendly, fun environment and a lot of learning takes place within this. It’s great that there is a lot of outdoor time and activities such as forestry and rugby tots, which is a brilliant idea. All the team are enthusiastic and excellent
with the children, and both of my children are very happy there.
All the children get on brilliantly and look out for each other too which is lovely.

I have 3 children, one of which is currently attending Active Kids, the other two joining in the new year without a doubt. It has an excellent atmosphere for the children and parents.


The staff have an open door policy which is great, we can go to them with any issues we have, for example, how to

sign up children to primary school, help with the government 30 hours etc. Nothing is too much trouble.


The extra-curricular activities are amazing too, my child comes home speaking French and there are rugby lessons on the way. Just remarkable.


I would recommend this place wholeheartedly and would recommend you go for a visit to see for yourselves if in doubt.

Our son has only been at the nursery for a short amount of time but we researched heavily and visited many local nurseries before choosing Active Kids. Their passion and warmth is so rare to find in this industry. Our son comes home happy and tired after a funfilled day, their outdoor facility is fantastic!
We thank everyone on the team for creating such a wonderful space.
