Ardingly

Kiddie Capers Childcare - Ardingly Nursery Ages 0-5

Our Ardingly Nursery is located within the beautiful setting of the South of England Showground – this unique rural location provides an all-year-round attraction for the children to experience the beauty of the countryside and get up close to farm animals, horses, helicopters and much more!

The Nursery benefits from two sensory rooms filled with exciting tactile toys for the children to explore and develop their senses. The light table, sensory tube and large ball pool are favourites amongst the children.  We also have a dedicated sleep room where the children can take their naps listening to relaxing music.

With an abundance of outside space to explore, children participate in regular trips into the woods for our Forest School sessions. We believe in the importance of experience-based learning and create strong links with the community by visiting the local village of Ardingly, spending time in the park and getting treats from the bakery.

Aligned with our dedication to quality education, we closely follow Birth to 5 Matters guidance. Our experienced staff members create stimulating activities that cater to each child’s unique needs, promoting their holistic growth across various areas of development. By incorporating play-based learning, social interaction, and structured routines, we ensure that children receive a well-rounded educational experience and the best start in life.

My son has been attending Kiddie Capers Cuckfield for 3 years and he loves going and asks when his next nursery day is. He graduates this July and he will truly miss it . Kiddie Capers have done an outstanding job with his development over the years and getting him ready for school. The outside space and forest school have been a big hit for my son. The hot meals have been great for him to try new foods . The communication through the app has been amazing to know exactly what he has been up to , eaten etc .. I have recommended kiddie Capers to a number of people who now attend there. OUTSTANDING childcare !

My child currently attends KCC in Cuckfield and absolutely loves it, my child is thriving in every aspect of preschool learning. The setting is amazing, not overcrowded, it is in the centre of open fields, has great parking for those busy quick morning drop offs, it is close to woodlands for forest school, or bug hunts, which my child has really enjoyed. The nursery practitioners well they are all fantastic, going above and beyond, Gracie my child adores, she is absolutely amazing with all the children. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for the best amazing start to their child’s preschool journey.

We were recommended to Kiddie Capers in Cuckfield and we are so happy with the care our little girl receives. She seems to of bonded so well with the carers and reaches out to them when going in to nursery which really helps with the mum guilt! We would recommend this nursery to anyone❤️

Being first time parents we looked at several different nurseries for our daughter. Kiddie Capers, Cuckfield had a different atmosphere and just felt right for us. The staff are so friendly, supportive and helpful. Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, always smiling when she sees the workers in the morning and happy to go in. The staff have supported us through our weaning process and encouraged our daughter to try new foods. The feedback each day is lovely. We love seeing photos of her day and the personal feedback at pick up means we always know what the day has been like both in terms of activities, as well as sleep and food. The opportunity to have term time only nursery was asli a draw for us and the flexibility and ease of using the app for requesting days off is great. We couldn't ask for a more friendly and supportive setting for our daughter to go to and we are so glad we chose Kiddie Capers.

Both my children have been going to Kiddie Caper’s Cuckfield since they were 9 & 6 months, and we absolutely love it! The setting itself is in a great location, it’s not over crowded or overwhelming. The children have access to fields, woods & the outdoors all the time, which they adore!!! The team are outstanding and have always gone over & above our boys needs, and ours as parents. The Manager Toni is personable, innovative, supportive, engaging and our boys adore her (& us too). I couldn’t recommend KCC Cuckfield enough 🌟

I honestly cannot speak more highly of kiddie capers childcare. My son has been attending for about a year now and I’ve been really impressed by how he has taken to nursery and his confidence and abilities have grown. It’s all about the staff - they really care and feel like a safe pair of hands, which is so important! I also love all the seasonal activities and crafts they do with the children, so much creativity. I definitely recommend them as a great nursery to give your child the best start :)
