Kiddie Capers Childcare

My 2 kids have been coming here for just under a year and they absolutely love the nursery and the staff. The staff are supportive, open and have such good communicate. I cannot fault the setting or the staff.

Our son has been attending Merlin House since turning 1 year old. The staff are so lovely and provides informative feedback of his day. The setting have great facilities with soft play room, sensory play, big outdoor space and they incorporate different kinds of activities too. Highly recommended as my son loves going to Merlin House to see his friends!

I cannot recommend Merlin House enough. My daughter has been going to this nursery since May 2025. She absolutely loves going in, saying hello to her nursery teachers and seeing her friends. I have been very happy with the communication on the famly app as it keeps us updated with what food she has eaten, how long she has slept for and what activities she has taken part in. I particularly liked the opportunity to go into her room for a stay and play. It was really lovely to see her with her friends, meet the staff I may not have met before and to join in with the activities she enjoys the most. This nursery has allowed my partner and I to go to work each day knowing our daughter is being cared for so well. Thank you to all the team at Merlin House!

Merlin House provides an exceptionally well-run, safe, and nurturing environment. The staff are highly competent, consistent, and maintain excellent structure, which has been extremely beneficial for my twin daughters, Poppy and Willow. The communication from the team is consistently clear, professional, and detailed, ensuring I am kept accurately informed of their daily progress through the Famly App. The regular updates, including photos, observations, personal care records, and details of food and drink intake, provide valuable insight into the girls’ experiences and development. As a childcare professional myself, the most important aspect for me is observing how staff interact with the children and how effectively they create a child-focused Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) environment. Merlin House consistently demonstrates a strong understanding of children’s needs, promoting their learning, independence, confidence, and social development. The girls benefit from nutritious and enjoyable meals, a consistent staff team, and the absence of reliance on agency workers, which provides them with familiar and secure relationships with the adults caring for them. This consistency is particularly important for young children and supports their sense of safety and belonging. The opportunities provided beyond the nursery setting are also excellent. Regular visits to the local library and participation in additional activities support the girls’ wider development, including their communication skills, social awareness, independence, and understanding of the world around them.

Brilliant nursery, wonderful staff. Our child is very happy there and has developed so much since attending.

Lovely nursery, my daughter always enjoys herself and the staff look after her very well. They make great use of their app and share lots of pictures and updates about what the kids have been doing, what they have eaten and precise timings of sleep. 10/10 would highly recommend

Both our daughter attend Kiddie Capers after moving our eldest from another setting we were not happy with. Our eldest is absolutely thriving and our youngest has just had her first week in the baby setting and has done a lot better than I could imagine! The staff are genuinely caring and Jess and Tracey are particular favourites of our eldest daughter in the pre school! Thank you all for your ongoing hard work and dedication to all the children who attend the nursery/preschool.

We have just started our son here and it’s going really well so far! Lovely setting
