Kirkgate Childcare

My little girl has been here since the age of 2 and this is her final year. I really struggled to find the right place before being introduced to Kirkgate childcare. I really can not thank all the lovely ladies enough, especially Kim my daughters key person. The nursery has such a welcoming cosy environment and Im so pleased with my daughters development since starting. We will be very emotional when its time to say goodbye in August for big school! Xx

I honestly dont think words can express how amazing the Kirkgate family is. Choosing a nursery for my twins who had spent their first 3 years of life with me, was so difficult until I walked through the doors at Kirkgate Childcare. The areas are very cleverly worked out with access to everything your child could want with learning opportunities everywhere. My 2 love to play outside and Kirkgate allow the children to play outside and learn all day if they wish, with it being free flow unlike other nurseries I looked at. It is a very personal choice choosing a nursery and deciding what you want and what is best for your child, but the minute I met the team (the family) at Kirkgate I instantly felt knew the children were going to be loved and happy there and my god they were. We have just said our see you again soon to everyone as mine are about to embark up big school and I am so happy and excited for the next chapter knowing they are more than ready for it, thanks to Kirkgate childcare amazing care.

I cant say enough good things about Kirkgate Childcare! The staff are amazing, the facilities available to children are brilliant and the freedom they have to roam both inside and out as they please is lovely! My little boy struggled with listening and attention and his key worker really helped him to improve before starting school. They really do go out of their way to make it the best experience possible for children. It is a truly wonderful nursery.

My daughter has just finished at Kirkgate Childcare to start big school in September and we honestly cannot recommend this little special nursery enough. The care, enrichment and education is outstanding. The staff are so friendly and loved by all the children. She went into nursery with a big smile on her face and came out with an even bigger one! Without a doubt choosing this nursery was one of the best decisions we have made for our daughter. We cannot thank you enough, especially Milly, her Key Person you have given my little girl some very happy memories which I know she will treasure forever!!

This nursery is truly excellent. All the staff are so skilled and nurturing and their approach to learning is spot on. My daughter loves going and frequently talks about all the members of staff and how they have been involved in her day, from the together times, to the independent play and the days out cooking and exploring and digging at the allotment. Even lunch time with the team is a topic of discussion! The staff bring such different skill sets and personalities to support my daughter as she develops her own little character, building on her strengths and focussing on supporting her through any areas of struggle. My daughter first attended having been in leg braces for most of her first year, so she was a little delayed, weaker and apprehensive In regards to physical movement. The team set focussed sessions to aid her safe development and she excelled within weeks! They have also been exceptional in regards to dealing with her eczema and ever-changing skin care routines. They have recognised where she is demonstrating higher than her age in areas of learning and set challenges to keep her progressing in these areas too. In addition to all this and how much emotional care they give, what we love more than anything, is that they encourage my daughter to think for herself, explore her own questions and actions (and that of others) through play - which at such a young age is invaluable in leading to a very confident, balanced, empathetic and independent little girl. We cannot thank the team enough.
