Kinder Place

About this day nursery

Kinder Place Nursery, located near Scarborough Hospital, offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 0 to 5 years. Dedicated to providing flexible and affordable childcare, the nursery works in partnership with the local NHS and community.

The facility is designed to encourage learning and development during these crucial early years, with separate rooms tailored for different age groups: "Caterpillars" for 0-2 year olds and "Butterflies" for 2-5 year olds. Both rooms offer open-plan spaces for play, exploration, and rest, with a strong emphasis on indoor and outdoor activities that promote physical, creative, and imaginative development.

The passionate and qualified staff create a safe, warm, and supportive atmosphere, fostering independence and a love for learning. Meals and snacks are prepared in collaboration with a Trust dietician, focusing on healthy and nutritious options.

Kinder Place Nursery operates 51 weeks a year, closing only for bank holidays, two staff training days, and the week between Christmas and New Year. They also offer emergency and temporary placements to accommodate various parental needs.
