Testimonials from our Parents and Teachers

  • Sara Walker. Headteacher at Westwood Park

    We have thoroughly enjoyed working with The Kickstart Family Support Team. They are very flexible and able to compromise to make changes for the benefit of the pupils, staff and school. They choose some lovely activities, and the pupils are keen to see the Kickstart staff. They are warm and friendly, we all appreciate their work. Thank you.
  • 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.
  • 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.
