About this day nursery

Caring Kindergartens, established in 1992, is dedicated to providing high-quality childcare within a fun and homely environment. The nursery focuses on a 'fun whilst learning' philosophy, aiming to foster children's development from infancy through to pre-school years.

Each setting is managed by an experienced team, including a manager, deputy, group seniors, nursery practitioners, and a cook, all supported by a head office that handles administration, recruitment, and development. The commitment to diversity and inclusion is central to their approach, with staff continuously reflecting on their practices.

The nursery also works in strong partnership with Early Years Advisers and undergoes regular internal audits and Ofsted inspections to maintain their high standards of care and education. They offer nutritionist-designed meals and emphasise continuous staff training in various essential areas.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

However, staff are not consistent in how they manage older children's behaviour, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children with SEND or those who require additional support are identified early. Staff know these children well and provide appropriate spaces for them to use, such as a tent, as a calm space for them should they become overwhelmed. Staff work well with other agencies to ensure that all children who attend the setting make good progress.

Outdoor space

When accessing the outdoors, older children decide whether they need their coats on or not. Staff help children to develop good physical skills as they explore the outdoors. Children greatly enjoy playing in the nursery garden, and staff help them to develop good physical skills.

My 3 year old loves it here shes been going from 9 months old. I Have a 10 year old who also came here and in my opinion going to this nursery really helped her transition to school. Staff still remembered my older child even though it had been several years since she attended, I found this reassuring and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
