About this day nursery
Caring Kindergartens, established in 1992, boasts over three decades of experience providing high-quality childcare. The nursery group is dedicated to fostering development through an ethos of "fun whilst learning" within a nurturing, homely atmosphere.
Each facility is managed by an experienced professional, supported by a skilled team including a Deputy Manager, Group Seniors, Nursery Practitioners, and a dedicated Cook, ensuring comprehensive care from initial inquiry through to school transition. The Head Office team provides additional administrative, financial, recruitment, marketing, and developmental support across all locations.
Caring Kindergartens prioritises diversity and inclusion, with staff actively promoting a positive influence in each setting. The organisation continually refines its practices through self-reflection, Ofsted inspections, and strong partnerships with Early Years Advisers, aiming to deliver exceptional educational experiences.
Continuous internal audits by Early Years Educational Leads further guarantee the maintenance of high standards in both provision and care.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. Would thoroughly recommend to any other parents looking for a great start for their children. Originally sent my child to a "popular" nursery in Hampton, but when they quickly regressed in every way, we had to change. Caring Kindergartens was the one that really stood out after visiting. Simply incredible location, facilities and staff.

Great nursery worth every penny. They have a great outside space to play in and really try to prepare kids for school in the right way. Highly recommended
