Parent testimonies...

"Little Rays has been amazing for our little boy! He started when he was 8 months. He absolutely loves going and this is down to the safe and happy surroundings. All the staff really care about the children and it shows when you see the children rushing to get in in the mornings. The staff really make an effort to make each day fun and different. You feel comforted knowing how much your child looks forward to it and enjoys their day. Our little boy is benefiting because the staff are giving him time, support and the occasion or often in our child's case cuddle he craves. We genuinely couldn’t recommend Kids Capers enough"

"Our little boy started from 11 months. We were very anxious to leave him but the staff were absolutely wonderful with him and spent time settling him in and ensuring he was happy. The girls work so hard and genuinely care for the children. It is a warm and caring place. The activities are exciting and well structured and involve play, learning and messy play! The menus are healthy and varied and the girls get my son to eat things I could never get him to eat at home. The manager is professional and organised and ensures that health and safety is adhered to. There are parent's evenings and online learning logs and you get a summary of what your child has been up to after each session. The Christmas party was fantastic this year! Great food and entertainment. I definitely recommend this nursery. We would like our son to stay here until it's time for school"

"My daughter has been going to Kids Capers since she was 8 months old. It makes me so happy to see her enjoying herself and she has made some great friends not only with the children but all the staff. The staff are always really helpful and friendly. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. My daughter has learnt so much and enjoys all the activities they have to offer. Thank you too everyone at Kids Capers. Keep up the good work"

My daughter started here just over a year and we couldn't be happier. We are always greeted with a smile and laughter and at the end of day a little summary of what she has been up to. During her time here some of her needs changed, the staff were amazing. They attended workshops on how to better support her and were quick at passing what was needed onto other members of staff. My daughter enjoys her time there and talks about all the members of staff fondly"

about kids capers

Kids Capers Day Nursery enjoys a warm, welcoming and friendly environment where children are respected as unique individuals and where learning through play and exploration is supported by well trained and dedicated Early Years educators. We operate a system which allows children to develop their interests and to spend longer periods on the activities they are interested in. We have Key Persons who plan activites on a daily basis based on your child's interests and carry out regular observations which allows them to ensure that the children's areas of interest are fully explored and extended.

Nursery rooms and play areas

Our nursery is equipped and decorated with children at its heart. The nursery has two base rooms, the Rainbow room and the Sunshine room. Both rooms have their own outdoor garden areas which are used as an extension of children's learning and exploration. The base rooms are colourful, bright and spacious and have specified areas which allow children to take part in a variety of child or adult initiated activities. 

Outside there are large, secure play areas, which are solely for the use of the nursery. Our free flow system allows children to enjoy unrestricted outdoor and indoor play which promotes positive independence and decision making.

Forest school

The benefits of outdoor play are so important and at Kids Capers we believe that children should experience the outdoors and the change of seasons at first hand. Our forest school is the perfect way for this to happen and helps the children develop a range of skills. The forest school is an engaging activity that the children love, allowing them to explore boundaries, play hide and seek and learn more about nature.
