Thank you so much for all you have done for Cameron.  He is now settling in his new school very well.  Its a big thank you to you all for what you've done.  Without your support and patience in learning to sign, he wouldn't have been able to flourish well enough to achieve going into mainstream school.

Its lovely to see everyone still able to do it including the children!

Just a short note to say thank you for looking after Maisey for the past year.  Maisey has developed so much since starting at Active Kids and she truly enjoys her time at nursery.  We think it's a wonderful nursery and appreciate all that you have done for Maisey.

Its hard to believe its 31/2 years since I entrusted my baby in your care.  Wow, he's grown in every sense of the word.  He's a lovely boy who I am proud to call my son, which is partly thanks to you all.  The love and care you have given him as encouraged him to become this happy, confident child which I hope will continue through his school life.

The love, care and support you have shown to both Elliott and myself has been overwhelming and much appreciated. 

Its sad to see him leave you all but nice to see how he's settling into the transition of Big Boy School.  We look forward to seeing you all soon when the next baby arrives!

Thank you sincerely for all the care and kindness you have shown to our girls over the last 5 years.  Summer has thoroughly enjoyed her first year at school and has received a glowing report.  We are confident that Tilly will follow in her footsteps in part, thanks to the amazing support and encouragement she has received at Active Kids.

To hand your child over to complete strangers is a terrifying prospect for any new parent but from my very first look around I was confident Active Kids was going to be the right place for my baby. 

This decision was partly down to meeting Chrstine.  I don't want to single her out when all the other staff are so wonderful too but I really appreciated that she took the time to reassure me that my girls are well taken care of.

Will will miss you all enormously and wish you all continued happiness for the future.

Both my children attend Active Kids and have done since they were young. They both love the activities, especially the messy play with foam and water. My 2 year old has even started to pick up sign language that they have done at circle time activities. The sportshall facility is great as the kids have loads of space to run about even when it's raining! Staff are really freindly and welcoming too. Highly recommended!

We relocated from Southampton to Leeds and Charlotte started nursery back in May 2009. I was really worried that she would have to get use to a new home, a new life, nursery and start to make new friends but Active Kids nursery have made this transition so easy. She absolutely loves her time at nursery and she is such a happy playful child. All the staff at nursery are fantastic and very friendly. Charlotte has made loads of friends (although most of them are boys!! and she's only 3!). We're now trying to network and get ourselves involved in some groups so we can play with some friends at the weekend when she doesn't have to go to Southampton to visit family.

Oskar my son who attends Active Kids is having a really nice time there at the moment - especially with his friends Ellis, Megan and Charlotte - he talks about nursery all the time and he just loves it.

Great to have a blog to have a go at. I’m always met by happy faces when I leave and collect Oskar at Active kids- Great!

I am a perpatetic deaf instructor and first came to visit Active Kids to see a little deaf boy. I think the staff and children gel really well together and they have a good knowledge of deaf awareness and have all done a 6 week training course in BSL. There is always an exciting activity to see and my favourite is the shaving foam where the children really interact with each other. I like this one best because it is a very visual activity and there are lots of expressions on their faces while they play with the foam. Active Kids has a lovely open environment and is a joy to visit every time and the food always smells great.

My son is my third child to attend Active Kids (Cor i sound old!). My daughters who are now in school were always happy with the range of activities and cheerfull staff, who really knew their daily needs, likes and dislikes!!. My son now waves as he approaches nursery and as a parent staff are approachable and tell me all about his day, when he isn't old enough to do so. I must mention Christine, she cooks fab, healthy meals and caters for my sons lactose intollerance fabulously. The staff genuinley care which makes my working day more bearable knowing he is happy and loved!
