The cleanliness of the school is great. Food provided is great. Generally everything with the school is top notch. The problem with this school is that the staff write copious notes about their interpretations of parents home lives, the general look of parents and their clothing. They write about the fit of children's clothing and even things about a coat that may not be as good as they think it should be. The files the school keeps are full of miss quoted comments from conversations with parents . This information is then shared with local council health workers and causes endless troubles for

We absolutely recommend Kabuki to ALL families. The staff are brilliant and really do care for the children so much. Our daughter finished nursery today, ready for primary school, and she loved every single… second. She felt immediately at ease from her very first day and enjoyed her whole nursery experience right till the end. Thank you so much to all of you at Kabuki, we'll miss you! 🧡

My little boy has settled in so well here due to the staff being so supportive and caring, he was very shy and they have made him feel settled and he enjoys going. They keep you up to date with what he is doing everyday and with their progress when it comes to learning.

My Grandson goes to the Kabuki Childcare Centre. We currently reside in USA but feel connected to him via the daily updates that are posted to their individual section of the site. Although this must be super time consuming to do this for every child that attends there, we certainly appreciate you doing this. He looks to have so much fun every single day! Great Job to the Owners and Staff.
