What sets us apart?

Transparency of our fees

We help families make the most of government funding, and charge extra only for meals during funded sessions, nappies for children over 2 and additional hours. All outings, Forest School sessions and French lessons are included at no extra cost where they are offered.

Quality of our education

All of our nurseries are rated ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’ by Ofsted, every nursery has a qualified Early Years Teacher and a dedicated SENDCo, and inspectors have found our children “more than ready for their next stage of learning” (Swingfield, 2022).

A ‘natural childhood’ ethos

All our nurseries have large outdoor spaces that children use every day, with calm, nature-inspired decor and wooden materials inside.

Consistency of our team

We do not rely on agency staff, over a third of our team have been with us for more than a decade, and some for more than 20 years.

Family-run

We make decisions for the long term and treat our team and families as an extension of our own family.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. From the very first days, our daughter has been happy, and she settled in far more quickly than we ever expected. The garden is wonderful: a lovely, well-kept space with plenty to explore. The children spend a great deal of time outdoors in all kinds of weather. She also sleeps well there and loves the meals they prepare. The team are warm, caring and attentive, and it's obvious they genuinely enjoy what they do. Particular thanks to Abi, Bridget and the manager Charlotte for all their support. We'd recommend this nursery to any parent without hesitation.

I couldn’t recommend Kidease Swingfield highly enough. Both of my daughters have had such a wonderful time at the nursery, and i have always felt that they were genuinely cared for, supported and valued as individuals. A special mention has to go to their key worker, Abbie, who has been absolutely amazing. She has shown my girls so much kindness, patience and care, and it has been lovely to see the bond they have built with her. Knowing that your children are happy, settled and in such caring hands means everything as a parent. The nursery has also supported not only our children but our whole family through a particularly tough period, and we will always be incredibly grateful for the understanding, compassion and support they showed us when we needed it most. Thank you to the whole Kidease Swingfield team for everything you have done for my girls and our family. I will look back on their time at nursery with so many happy memories. ❤️

My daughter has been attending Kid Ease Triangles since she was 1. She absolutely loves going and has formed lovely relationships with the staff there. I find Paul and Jade incredibly responsive to all questions and queries, with the whole team being friendly, welcoming and kind. I looked around almost all the nurseries in my area and Kid Ease Triangles were by far the best. I love that they get indoor and outdoor play as well as safe exposure to the nursery guinea pig, bunny and dog. The staff treat the children’s safety as paramount, especially with pick up and drop offs showing clear adherence to safeguarding policy. The whole building is clean and well maintained. Thank you to her current key worker, Lorraine, and all the other girls in Lemons for taking such good care of my daughter. She has come on leaps and bounds since attending nursery.

I highly recommend Kid Ease Triangles nursery after sending my 2 children there! My eldest attended from 6 months old and although we live on the other side of town we still chose to send my youngest here as we have trust and have built a good relationship with the team. The nursery is always very clean and tidy, they feed the children a good variety of healthy meals and snacks and all round I haven’t got a bad word to say. We especially love the forest school and that the kids have the opportunity go out learning new skills and having fun! They’re always doing fun games & activities with the children. You can see a mile off the staff here love their job, they love working with children and it shows.

I could not of wished for a better Nursery for my Daughter, the staff are so supportive, accommodating, caring and really go above and beyond to support the needs of the children. My Little Girl has a great bond with all the staff and is meeting and is thriving in the Forest School Nursery environment. It will be a sad time for us both when she leaves next year to go to school. Thank you for all your care, I would easily recommend Kidease Swingfield to anyone looking for a trusted Childcare provider. ❤️

Kidease Swingfield House has been incredible for my son. From when he started and was so shy and quiet to the confident little boy ready for his next chapter at primary school. He enjoyed going to nursery and particularly loved all the outdoor play. He thought a lot of his keyworker and she has played a huge part in getting him happy and confident ready for his primary school journey.

Both my children went to Kidease Swingfield over a period of 6 years and they were amazing. My boys were well looked after and I was happy to leave them there every day. They had nothing but positive things to say at the end of each day and the staff really care for the children. A special shout out to Abbie our key worker who was like a second mum to my boys. Great nursery, fantastic staff!

My little one has just finished her time at kidease swingfield and I have nothing but amazing things to say, from day 1 in apples she felt safe,happy and cared for. Moving up to raspberries she really became her own little character and was part of the furniture,Communication is brilliant, the staff always make time for parents and children, this really did become a second home for us. We are so sad our daughter has to leave and move on to primary school, cannot recommend this nursery enough. She enjoyed the snacks and lunches, the routine worked wonders, the rooms are friendly and inviting, the garden is a lovely space, it was always lovely to drive into the car park and hear the children having such fun outside. We will miss everyone so much.

We thought triangles baby room was full of excellent staff. My baby liked going here and they accommodated early drop offs. It was transparent and never felt like things were hidden like at our previous nursery. Although the baby space had no outdoor access it was light and interesting. This aside the staff were all great and ultimately it's about who looks after our baby that we cared about. No complaints there. The location was a bit of a bottle neck but other than that we were happy with the care our baby received.

After having a bad experience with a childminder I was very worried about leaving my baby with anyone else. Claire took the time to reassure me when I visited Kidease and I have to say the staff in the Oranges and Lemons room have been absolutely amazing, I can tell they really enjoy looking after my daughter, they are very thorough with their handover when I pick my daughter up and I can tell she really loves it there! Thank you all for your support, you have turned a worried mum into a very happy mum 😊

I have found this nursery very attentive and thorough with the children I have taken and really would recommend. The children have come on in leaps and bounds and I am always notified of any concerns as well as a daily update when collecting .

I send my child here and although they are not one of the cheaper nurseries in the area, their opening times are longer than other and have other branches. The staff are friendly and accommodating and my child started from baby so I really was concerned but they truly are like a second parent. The nursery is always clean and accommodating.

Congratulations to all staff on gaining an outstanding rating from Ofsted. I fully agree with them and my granddaughter Mollie is very lucky to have a place there.

I send my daughter to Kid Ease in Hawkinge and she's been attending for the last year. When I was looking into who I would trust to look after her I visited a lot of nurseries and read a lot of ofsted reviews and Kid Ease came out on top. I haven't regretted my decision for even a moment over the last year. My daughter has a milk protein allergy and they've been able to handle that brilliantly. She's given plenty to do all day, there's a good size garden for playing and each child has a member of staff assigned to them so that care is consistent. The nursery is open all year round, except Christmas and New Year and a full day starts at 8am and ends at 6pm. Included in the price is food, drinks and nappies – who could ask for more than that? Highly recommended.

We'd love to show you around.
