About this day nursery

Kiddiwinks Day Nursery is dedicated to fostering a nurturing and educational environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential. The nursery's philosophy centres on providing a joyful and supportive atmosphere that prioritises each child's individual needs and development.

They acknowledge the profound impact of early experiences on a child's self-esteem, social interactions, and motivation. Kiddiwinks offers age-appropriate rooms, starting with the Kindergarten for babies from birth, which focuses on sensory learning, individual routines for feeding and sleeping, and daily diaries for parents.

The Busy Bees room caters to toddlers from around 18 months, encouraging independence, social skill development through role play, and exploration of various materials in a stimulating environment. Finally, the Dragonflies pre-school room prepares three-year-olds for school by introducing letters and numbers in a relaxed, play-based manner, aligning with early years goals.

The nursery is also an official provider of the Forest School programme, which aims to build independence and self-esteem through outdoor learning and exploration in natural woodland settings, combining cross-curricular topics with personal skill development. The dedicated team of highly trained staff consistently engages in professional development to uphold high standards of care and education.

Excellent nursery. My child has been there for a couple of years now. He really enjoys it and so pleased I chose this nursery. Kiddiwinks is a very lively and welcoming place and he especially likes going out into the forest and going swimming. Would be happy to recommend the nursery to others.
