About this day nursery

Kids in Motion, a childcare setting on non-domestic premises in London, N9 7EE, has been operating since 2022 and caters to children aged 1–4 years. The nursery focuses on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, prioritising physical development through activities like stirring and grabbing objects for babies, and energetic play with ride-on toys in the garden for older children.

External teachers lead various sport sessions, further strengthening children's physical and coordination skills. The dedicated staff ensure children access the garden daily, fostering an understanding of a healthy lifestyle.

The setting has a strong commitment to inclusion, with leaders demonstrating secure knowledge of inclusive strategies and collaborating with parents and external professionals to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Additional funding is effectively used to provide well-targeted support, resources, and experiences.

For children who speak English as an additional language (EAL), staff actively learn words and phrases from home languages, fostering a sense of belonging and supporting good progress in language development and confidence. The nursery has a capacity for 30 children.

Our ethos

Kids in Motion's approach is based on EYFS standards with a strong emphasis on "Fundamental Movement Skills". Their philosophy is that mastering these early skills enhances children's physical literacy and ability to tackle more complex activities. This is supported by a curriculum enriched by activities designed by sports professionals.

I sent my son to this nursery when he was 18 months. He was with them till 3 years. I like this nursery because of their flexibility. They took my son even though I couldn’t give them fixed days my boy will attend. It gave me peace of mind to return to work.

My son has started nursery at Kids in Motion for a month now and I could not be happier! He settled in so well thanks to the support of all the staff, loves going and never actually cried when we dropped him off. The team at this nursery are all fully qualified and take so much care in the job they do. They send me photos throughout the day, and it just puts a smile on my face while I work. All the messy play activities, learning new languages and physical activities they do look so fun! I know how hard it can be to send your baby to nursery, but this place is absolutely fantastic. They are so so clean and hygienic that my son has not had a single virus/infection etc. The staff are very approachable. You can tell them your childs specific needs and they will make sure they keep on top of it. Thank you Kids In Motion team, manager Sobia and Director Lara! Cem Aiden loves you all and can’t wait to spend more time at the nursery :)

Our son has been attending KidsInMotion since he was 18 months old and now he is 2 and a half years old. He had developed great bonds with the Teachers and his peers and he treats KidsInMotion like his 2nd home. Our son comes home happy everyday. We could tell that he is very well looked after. Not only that, we could also see some wonderful development results! KidsInMotion have always supported us throughout our tough times as a family and no issue is ever too big. They would go out their way to help us in anyway possible- which we appreciate ever so much. We felt very well cared and looked after as a family by KidsInMotion therefore 5 stars rating is just not enough to express how much we love KidsInMotion x
