Creative Kids is a friendly, fun and educational nursery that has brought out the absolute best in my son.
He has been attending since he was 10 months old, and I have always felt he was safe, looked after and nurtured.
In his current room, I am sent daily updates with photos of all the activities
he is enjoying, and he is now on his way to being fully potty trained - thanks in no small part to their efforts. He has grown and developed so much in his time there.
The staff always have time to help and provide advice when needed, and they support the local community such as the recent charity food bank donation.
The girls there feel like family and my son loves them all - its so nice they have watched him grow through the years.
I would recommend to anyone.

My son has been at the nursery for just over 2 years now, in his 3rd room at the setting.
Within this time my son has thrived. The nursery itself is run like a family rather than a business. When we first joined, I was an anxious first time mum, the office manager and the ladies went over and above
to help both me and my son settle. I would often refer to the manager for advice rather than my own family. The ''you are never a problem'' and ''never a nuisance'' attitude the team have at Creative Kids made the transition from being at home with my son, for him being in nursery full time seamless.
It's clear to see day to day that the nursery take pride in who they hire into their practice. The majority of the staff members love nothing more than spending the day with our children and it doesn't feel like ''just a job''
I feel incredibly lucky to have found this nursery and that my son continues to learn new skills, have fun and develop relationships with his peers.

My daughter loves attending Creative Kids, Shenfield, the staff that look after her are attentive to all her needs and go above and beyond every single day to ensure she is happy and content. The nursery is a homely environment and I couldn't have chosen a better team for my daughter. You can tell that
all the staff know their children and key children very well. She loves the food and always eats all of her meals and is always happy when I collect her.
Thank you to everyone at Creative Kids, Shenfield.

The girls who look after my daughter are so welcoming, and friendly and put my mind at rest knowing that my daughter is fine and happy, they are positive when collecting and dropping off. My daughter is always smiling when I pick up so I know she is happy there. They do great creative activities which
enhance her learning and every day she does is different! The nursery manager is very welcoming and very knowledgeable, she is willing to help whenever she can. The nursery is very clean tidy and well run, and I am always well informed about updates through apps and newsletters! 5 star rating from me.

All the staff at Creative Kids have been amazing. My son struggled to settle in due to separation anxiety and the nursery has gone above and beyond to help him. Every staff member I’ve met has been so friendly and supportive. The facilities are fantastic and he loves the garden. We are really looking
forward to watching him grow and develop with the huge range of activities the nursery provides. Thank you Creative Kids!

The nursery has been fantastic, they settle babies into the nursery and keep the parents informed of their routine, activities, and progression. They ensure children have a range of activities and different throughout the day, my child tries all different foods from the chef on site, with the food changing
month to month. The staff are caring, and polite, and really do understand each child is different. So even on the days when a child is not happy when dropping off, they know how to settle them into the class with confidence. The outdoor space is amazing too. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are kept immaculate and clean.

Excellent care at the nursery. My child loves going there and spending time with her friends and carers. Good communication with the app. Parking is a nightmare, only downfall, as there is nowhere to park. We were told we could part at the banqueting suite next door, however, they have changed their
system and only allow fifteen minutes. A lot of people have received tickets for quick pick-ups.

Creative Kids Brentwood is a fantastic nursery. My eldest has attended full-time for the last year and a half and, through their support and care, is a flourishing two and a half year old. The staff genuinely care about all the children in the nursery and do everything to ensure they are safe, happy
and having fun! As well as the incredible garden and play area, we love the fact there's an on-site library and external teachers that come each week to do dance and football. My youngest has also just started full-time and is already absolutely loving her days at Creative Kids.

My son has been at creative kids for 9 months now and the care he has received has been exceptional. He’s been in both the youngest room and now in an older room and he has been very happy in both. He spends long days there due to the hours we work and it’s lovely as parents to know how much he enjoys
his time there. The staff are outstanding - so caring and clearly very dedicated to their jobs. His speech has come along so much over the last few months and I know a lot of that is thanks to the hard work nursery put into helping him develop. They’re great at communication and also very organised which helps as full-time working parents! My daughter will be starting there soon and I’m looking forward to seeing her enjoy herself and develop like my son has. We are very lucky to have such an outstanding place for our children in such a convenient location - I manage drop off to on the train in 4 minutes! Highly recommend to any prospective parents.

Very happy with our experience at Creative Kids Shenfield. My son thoroughly enjoys his time there and has come along leaps and bounds since he started. There is a great outdoor space and they make a great effort to use it unless the weather really doesn’t allow. The staff are friendly and take pride
in their work. Our son could be a bit picky with food before he started but they've made a big effort to introduce him to a varied diet and he's now a great eater. Very pleased with everything. Highly recommend.

Our daughter has been attending Creative Kids since it opened. After little social interaction during lockdowns, this was her first experience of attending nursery at nearly 2.5 years old. We couldn’t be happier with the way in which the staff care for her and have helped her settle into a new environment
and to interact with her peers.
The facilities are fantastic - bright, clean, spacious and amazing outside space. Meals are varied and nutritious and we get lots of feedback either verbally at the end of the day or through the app.

My daughter comes home so happy from nursery, she seems to really enjoy herself and has taken so well to the lovely staff.
The daily activities she does are really creative and she absolutely loves them.
One comment to make would be that I’m really looking forward to being able to pick her up from
her room soon when this is allowed, as it will be great to see her in the nursery environment.

Our daughter seems to really enjoy her days at Creative Kids Nursery, Shenfield. Regular updates on the nursery app are nice, we can see the interesting and fun activities they do each day.
The venue itself is very clean and bright and the garden is the best I’ve seen at any nursery.
The nursery
is still building and growing but the staff and management all seem to work incredibly hard and are always happy to talk about your child at the end of the day.

My son has been attending Creative Kids Nursery since it opened last October. From day one the staff have been amazing and so welcoming. The development and growth in confidence I have seen in my little boy has been magnificent and I feel reassured that it was the best decision I could have made for
him.
The nursery itself is bright and colourful, the facilities are fantastic. The staff and especially my son's key worker have made every day he attends his best day. The updates throughout the day on the app along with the round-up of the day in person when I collect him is invaluable and gives me, a parent, a lot of comfort he is getting the best care.
I do and will continue to recommend this nursery to anyone who asks.

I am so so glad we found Creative Kids Nursery for our little boy. He has only been going for a month and you can see the positive changes in him already, his speech is going from strength to strength as has his confidence (not that he lacked this before).
The staff and especially his key worker are
so kind and caring towards my little boy and they really go above and beyond to give me peace of mind as an anxious parent.
The updates provided on the app are invaluable, just to see him smiling and playing when he is at nursery is amazing.
Will definitely be recommending it.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.501)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.501) out of 10 for Creative Kids Nursery Brentwood 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 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 4.936 for Creative Kids Nursery Brentwood is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 4.565 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Creative Kids Nursery Brentwood is based on 13 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 115 number of registered child places is 23. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 23 = 0.565

  • 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.
