Testimonials from our Parents and Teachers

  • Collette Booth – Parent

    Kickstart have been fantastic with my son.  He loves going and really enjoys playing with children of all ages or participating in one of the various activities provided.  The staff are just wonderful and know and understand all the children on an individual basis.  Couldn’t recommend Kickstart enough.
  • Mrs R Clegg – Parent

    I could not be happier with the childcare my 4 year old receives with Kickstart.  The staff are very warm and caring with the children, they are always enthusiastic about each child’s achievements.  The kids have lots of stimulating activities to get involved with including excellent outdoor space.  It’s fantastic!
  • Mrs V Unsworth – Headteacher

    Kickstart go above and beyond for our children.  They are key professionals who are focused on improving outcomes for our children. I highly recommend their service.
  • Child

    I feel really safe in this environment, I sometimes forget my mum and dad aren’t here.
  • Tracey Burns – Parent

    We have been attending Family Club for many years. I personally find it helps my mental health being able to socialise with other grown ups and having your child there helps break the ice. My son has come on in leaps and bounds and we enjoy sessions both separately and doing a project together. I am much more relaxed and in turn that makes for a happy mummy and child.
