As a parent, my experience with my child's nursery has been incredibly positive. From the moment we first visited, the staff are welcoming and made us feel comfortable with their approach to early childhood education. They prioritise both the developmental and emotional needs of each child, creating a warm and nurturing environment. I've noticed my child has flourished socially and academically, with the structured activities promoting creativity, motor skills, and communication. The communication from the nursery is excellent, with regular updates and feedback, making me feel involved in my child's growth. Overall, it's been a great experience, and I'm confident my child is receiving the care and attention they need during these formative years. Overall we are very happy that we have chosen Kido Clerkenwell nursery for our son.

We've been incredibly happy with our son's experience at Kido Clerkenwell since he started in September 2024. The nursery provides a warm, stimulating, and nurturing environment that has allowed him to thrive. The facilities are excellent, and the curriculum is thoughtfully designed to encourage development and learning through play. We've been particularly impressed with the level of care and attention he receives from the staff. A special mention must go to the Manager. She's always approachable and responsive to any questions or concerns we've had. We are also incredibly grateful to our son's primary carer. Her kindness, patience, and gentle approach have made a significant difference in our son's settling-in period and his overall happiness at nursery. We can see how much he adores her, and we feel completely confident leaving him in her capable hands. We highly recommend Kido Clerkenwell to any parent looking for a fantastic nursery for their child.

Kido Clerkenwell has been absolutely wonderful for our 18-month-old. She settled quickly thanks to the warmth and support of the lovely staff. We actually signed up because we were told by several parents how great it is and then we found out for ourselves! The staff are really caring and wonderful and we couldn't have imagined a better nursery for our little one. Aside from all the great care and support, there is also excellent communication with parents. Hugely recommended in the highest possible way!

We've had both our children at Kido Clerkenwell-our eldest (now 7) and our youngest, although transfering to Kido Crouch End after a house move. We've seen the nursery grow from its early days into a well-established, nurturing environment. The manager has been a wonderful addition to the team-diligent, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. Her attention to detail gives us confidence that our children are in safe hands. The nursery fosters a strong sense of community and inclusion. At a recent Mother's Day event, I was especially impressed by how they handled allergies: a dedicated key worker in a red apron (the trained first aider) sat with the children to ensure safety. It may be standard practice, but the care taken made a strong impression. Beyond safety, the environment is warm and loving, and both our children have truly thrived there.

The staff has been wonderful with my son. They have helped him develop his speech and gain confidence. He is always very happy to go. The staff also communicates very well with the family letting us know what he needs to support with. We are also able to track his progress through the app and monthly reports from his key worker. It is a very nurturing environment.

We are so happy to have chosen Kido Clerkenwell for our son. He started when he was 10 months old. I was quite worried about the adaptation because it was the first time I had left him since he was born. But everything went wonderfully well. The staff were so understanding, following our son's habits at the start. He adapted very quickly to his new environment. They regularly give us news of how the day went, send us photos and videos thanks to the application on which we can follow everything, which is incredible! The garden is a huge asset! There are many activities on offer (Spanish lessons, painting, cooking lessons, etc.) and our son loves the meals that are offered. Our son really feels at home at Kido. He is very close to the staff who take great care of him. Every day he can't wait to go back to the nursery. Thank you to the entire Kido Clerkenwell team.

My son enjoys his time at nursery so much so all I get is a wave goodbye and runs in eager to start his day! Kido staff have set him up with a great indoor and outdoor routine that has developed his skills. Manager and staff have been fantastic and supportive since the start and can't thank them enough. I appreciate the daily update after pick up on how his day was and through the parent app. I'm so glad I found this nursery.

We love Kido Clerkenwell. I was nervous about leaving my baby at first but I feel so happy knowing he's been taken really good care of. I love that staff always try to get the kids outside and the nursery organises a lot of activities e.g. animal visits and a bouncy castle. My favourite thing though is how caring the staff are. I really feel like they're a lovely team and they seem to genuinely like my son so I feel very grateful.

Our experience with Kido Clerkenwell has been overwhelmingly positive since our daughter started when she was two. The team is passionate, well-prepared, and genuinely caring. They have played a significant role in our daughter's remarkable development, both socially and cognitively, far exceeding our expectations in terms of support. The nursery boasts a large, well-equipped outdoor area that the children enjoy throughout the year. This space includes a mud kitchen, vegetable garden, and plenty of climbing equipment, all of which contribute to a rich and varied play experience. The feedback we received on our daughter's progress has been thorough and insightful, and any questions we had have been promptly addressed by the attentive management team and teachers. We highly recommend Kido Clerkenwell to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child. We feel incredibly confident and happy with the care and education our daughter received here.

We have been sending our daughter to Kido since September 2020. We are very happy with the nursery and much appreciate the bespoke support, interest, kindness and care shown to us and our child over the years. Management and teachers are rapidly responsive to any questions and feedback on our daughter's progress is tailored and thorough. We have never deliberately "taught" her anything and she is clearly thriving and accruing knowledge and ability across the very varied curriculum offered by Kido. The effort, thought and preparation of materials for activities is of a very high standard and the focus on values of kindness and inclusion is particularly notable. Meals are healthy, no desserts and no juice which we welcome. Outside play is great with a huge area including mud kitchen, veg patch, and climbing equipment. Most importantly the teachers are very caring and genuine and our daughter has formed strong attachments. I am very confident and happy leaving my child in the care of Kido.

The staff at Kido have been great. Our daughter loves it. Communication has been regular and easy, they update us about our daughter every day and keep us in the loop on what skills they’re working on with her at any given moment.

My son has been very happy at Kido Clerkenwell. Since starting he has been supported with each transitional stage in his development and I have seen him flourish into a happy, confident and engaging little boy. The staff regularly update the app so I’m aware of his meals, naps and nappy changes so when I come to collect him I’m up to date with how his day has been. The weekly round-ups of the themes and activities along with photos are always a joy to read along with monthly updates on my son's progress as assessed alongside the early years framework. Overall, I am very happy with Kido Clerkenwell and would very much recommend it.
06 February 2024
They have been amazing with our little one and really care for her safety, well-being and happiness. They keep us reasonably well updated on how her day has been and work closely with us on supporting her needs.
25 January 2024
My son has been attending Kido Clerkenwell for over a year now and has been enjoying his time. The staff are lovely and caring and have supported my son with his extra needs. The management team have also been very supportive and understanding with the extra care needed for my son. Thank you for being so welcoming.

We had the most positive experience at Kido Clerkenwell. The team is passionate, prepared and caring. Our daughter's development of both social and cognitive skills have exceeded our expectations and we felt she was supported throughout the journey exactly when and as needed. She created very strong bonds with staff and other kids, which was lovely to see. At 2.5 years of age she has a rich English vocabulary despite we don't speak any English at home. The nursery has a large, well equipped outdoor area, which is widely used throughout the year. We very highly recommend Kido Clerkenwell.

The team at Kido Clerkenwell is amazing. From my first interaction with the Parent Relationship Manager, I knew this school was for my child. The kindness and patience shown from everyone is comforting. My child entered at 2 and a half years old not knowing a word of English and now (4 months later) can express himself with ease. I am grateful for the support given to me and my family since day one and recommend Kido Clerkenwell to any parent who is looking for a kind, nurturing, and stimulating nursery for their children.

I'm so happy to have found such an amazing nursery for my little one. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable and maintain the children's best interests at the forefront of all their programmes and decisions. They're also quick to react and find solutions when items are raised by the parents. You can tell they spend a lot of effort developing their annual programme and provide decent size progress reports for the development of your child. My little one was never bored at this nursery and was always eager to tell me all he had accomplished during the day. In all this setting exceeded my expectations and my little one formed incredible attachments with many of the staff, most importantly his key person. The graduation play at the end of their time at nursery was a joy to watch.

Kido is an outstanding nursery, my daughter has been attending their baby room since she was 5 and a half months old! Nearly a year has gone by and she has progressed amazingly, she reaches all her milestones, loves all the staff in her room, loves coming into nursery and most importantly, her social skills are great for a 16-month-old! It has been great seeing how well she is doing and will continue on to preschool at Kido Clerkenwell. Definitely recommend!
18 October 2022
Our 18-month-old loves his days in the Discoverers room at Kido. We were nervous to send him to nursery when he was 10 months old, but there's such a warm, nurturing atmosphere here that our fears were quickly put to rest. Our son is clearly thriving. His key workers are kind, caring and enthusiastic. We love how much time he spends outdoors in the babies' dedicated play area, which has everything a toddler could wish for - bikes, balls, soft play, picnic blankets, water games etc. His confidence has grown massively and we're happy to see him developing both social and cognitive skills.
05 October 2022
Kido is a great nursery, the staff are friendly and go above and beyond to make the kids feel cared for. I have two sons, one who has just started primary school and spent three and a half years at Kido and can only speak highly of our experience. We also have our second son at Kido and he loves the staff and enjoys himself and it is lovely to see how he is developing on a regular basis.
