About this day nursery

Kiddy Winks Day Nursery, established in 2009, prides itself on delivering high-quality childcare and education within the Kidderminster area. The nursery has two settings, Kiddy Winks Day Nursery and Ackroyd House, both located on Hoo Road and situated next to the Kidderminster Elim Church and the Kidderminster Harriers football ground.

They strive to create a happy, stimulating, and rewarding experience for each child. The nursery provides nutritious meals with a rotating three-weekly menu, including breakfast, a fruit platter for snacks, a two-course hot lunch, and an afternoon high tea.

Children have ample opportunities for physical activity with several outdoor play areas, including a pirate ship, along with indoor music, movement, games, and a ball pool. Free parking is available for parents at both the front and rear of the Elim building.

What it's like

There are inconsistencies in the quality of teaching across the setting, with younger children's experiences differing greatly from those of the older children. Younger children's behaviour is not always managed well, but all children are happy and settled, and staff meet their individual personal care needs. Staff promote literacy, and older children are well prepared for their next stage of learning, demonstrating exceptional behaviour and recognising letters and their sounds.
