I can't express enough how wonderful this nursery is! It truly is the best in every aspect. Both my daughter and son attended this nursery together for 8 years, and they were incredibly well-prepared for primary school, having learned so much during their time here. The curriculum is engaging, and each
child receives the individual attention they need to thrive. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and family-oriented, making my children excited to attend every day. They formed strong, trusting relationships with their teachers, who were always nurturing, helpful, and understanding. The nursery itself is spotless and beautifully equipped, and the meals served are delicious. My children still love visiting and reminiscing about the place where they grew up. This nursery has been a fantastic experience for my children, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a place where children are not only educated but truly cared for and valued. Thank you to all. Best wishes.

I don't quite have the words to express how much our family loves Kidz Choice Nursery, and how wonderfully they have looked after our two children. Our daughter 2022 and my son 2022 to 2024. I remember my son how he was so anxious at the beginning but later he was so happy and enjoyed every minute.
The managers and staff are amazing, kind, generous and patient. As parents, we appreciate the good communication and how well-organised it is. But the most important thing is that I feel that I can totally trust them to look after our kids - thank you, Kidz Choice.

We had 2 kids at this nursery and 3rd one just started. Very caring, loving staff, girls always been talking highly about them. One of the daughters had a speech delay and received so much support from them. Can't thank them enough for preparing them for the next step - reception. My 6 year old girl
still misses this nursery.

An outstanding nursery and our daughter really enjoyed going to Kidz Choice 2 Nursery. The care and attention to the children from the staff was at the highest level. It was really clear to see the dedication in which Kidz Choice carry out their work. The meals are nutritional and varied. Our daughter's
development and learning was really supported through the activities and lessons. I highly recommend Kidz Choice and the nursery greatly prepared our daughter for starting reception year at school.

I highly recommend this nursery! My little one started it soon after lockdowns when he was 3.5 years old. It was his first ever nursery, so I was really worried about how he would settle - especially after months of isolation due to the pandemic. But it all went so smoothly, thanks to the wonderful
staff. My son felt very welcomed from day one. He was there for a year and a half before starting reception. They are a small nursery, and therefore, treat children as individuals and organise loads of entertainment- even trips to the seaside!

Love, care and respect for their little worlds - That is what your children will meet at this place.
The staff work there as a vocation and not as a temporary stepping stone. That helps in consolidating genuine connections between the children and teachers.
The activities are planned and geared
up towards their development plan. Academically they must be good as well, as my eldest (4 and a half years) writes his and his sister's names and counts to 60 or 70, when inspired (yes - he still counts 30 as 'twenty -ten' which I've never corrected him as it makes it even more funny to watch). Admittingly this ability must have come from nursery as this was not taught at home.
Obviously, much more important than words and numbers is the relaxed and natural way in which they walk through those gates every morning, looking ahead for another happy at nursery. As a parent, I could not ask for more.

My son went to Kidz Choice 2 for 2 years until he started school and generally enjoyed his time there. My daughter has been at the nursery for over a year, she started when she was 10 months old and really enjoys her time there, she has made some friends and loves the staff. Overall this nursery is
amazing and the manager has always been really supportive.

Today is my son's last day at nursery as he is going to reception in September. Since I arrived in the area, almost two years ago, he goes to Kidz Choice every day. I could not be happier with the choice we made. He is cared and looked after very well. He has learned a lot, and the nursery was always
supportive in all the stages of his development. They do a lot of activities, and we have great memories from the last two years. My son developed a lot of skills, and I feel that they attend to each kid's needs and abilities. I always had feedback, and they were always available when I had questions. I highly recommend this nursery.

Reply from Alexandra Quist, Owner at Kidz Choice 2 Nursery

It was a pleasure having him in nursery. He is a caring and great friend to his nursery family. Always ready to learn, always enthusiastic to take the next step. We have seen his self-esteem reach great heights over this year, he is going to conquer this next step in his life and excel at school. We will really miss him.

My son was very happy at the nursery - he went to another nursery 2 days a week but preferred Kidz Choice. I think he had fun there and they also taught him his letters and to start writing his name which is great for primary school. Staff were generally friendly and helpful, but communication could
have been improved.

My children have been at Kidz Choice since Sept 2018 doing their 30 hours. I initially chose this nursery as I didn't get my children into the local nursery school, however, I am now very glad they didn't get in! Working in Early Years myself I have high expectations of what I expect to get from a nursery.
Kidz Choice met and exceeded all expectations. From day one we were made to feel very welcome by the manager and all the staff. The visiting worked well and was about the staff getting to know my children. I was given paperwork to fill in that was "read" and acted upon.
Children's meals and snacks are very nutritious. Tea is made by the staff and is always varied. My children enjoy lots of different activities which they are happy to share with me. Detailed accounts of the children's day is given with enthusiasm from the staff. The observation system is great getting pictures and reports to my email.
My children and I are extremely happy at Kidz Choice and would highly recommend it.

My Daughter attended the nursery in 2017, the whole team made us feel very welcome and valued. Staff were very attentive and always welcomed us with a huge hello.


My daughter is quite shy, so I was very impressed when the staff knew how to approach this without being overbearing, they really made

an effort to get to know her and us too which was great.


There was always lots of fun activities set out and the children were encouraged to choose, which I loved! Her development was tracked really well, we were able to see all her paperwork online, the staff knew her so well this was reflected in her journal.


Overall an amazing nursery, we couldn't have been happier with our choice, more importantly, our little girl was looked after so well and so happy.


100% recommend this setting to parents.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.538)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.538) out of 10 for Kidz Choice 2 Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 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 5.000 for Kidz Choice 2 Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 5

  • 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 4.538 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kidz Choice 2 Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.938

  • 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.
