Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Young children instinctively know they need to find their waterproof suits before going outside and engage in activities like pouring coloured water through funnels, while older children ride on bikes and build with wooden blocks.

Lovely nursery in a lovely building. The gardens are large and all children love doing gardening in the veggie patches. Hours work perfectly and having the car park is a bonus as we drop off on the way to work. Thanks Kindred Hauxton

Unfortunately due to job changes we had to move our daughter from Snap4kids in hauxton. It was a difficult decision as we loved it so much. We couldn’t be more grateful for the time she spend there. Always looked after, she was happy as soon as she seen the staff at the drop off, the communication between the nursery staff and us was SUPER! We want to thank ALL the staff but in special to the baby room!! We miss you xx ☺️
