I couldn't be happier with the care, attention and warmth my daughter receives at this nursery. From the very first day, the staff made her feel safe, welcomed and loved. Communication with parents is excellent and the environment is clean, nurturing and designed to encourage learning through play.
A heartfelt thank you for the beautiful concert this year. Seeing our son on stage was such a proud moment. We feel very lucky that our son is part of the Kidzmate family; the teachers and support staff are extremely cooperative.
We are so happy to have chosen this nursery for our youngest son, just as we did for our two older children. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient and approachable, and communication with parents is always smooth and open.
Do not recommend. Very unprofessional and rude. Staff scream and shout at kids.
