Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Outdoor space

Children enjoy spending time exploring outdoors. For example, they make 'cakes' and dig for treasure with shovels. Children ride cars down a grassy ramp and squeal with delight as they zoom down the hill. They use their gross motor skills and persevere to push the car back up to start again. This means that children get fresh air and are physically active each day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Wonderful Experience at Witty Kiddies! We’ve had such a fantastic experience with Witty Kiddies, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and love they’ve given my little one. He’s been in the baby room, and the team there have been nothing short of amazing! So warm, patient, and genuinely caring. From day one, they made him feel safe, supported, and happy. It’s been such a joy to see how much he’s grown in confidence and how excited he is to go in each day. As a parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is being looked after by people who truly care. The baby room staff have created a beautiful, nurturing environment filled with play, learning, and cuddles — everything a baby needs! They’ve kept us updated daily and always taken the time to share the little moments that mean so much. A massive thank you to everyone at Witty Kiddies for giving him the best possible start. We’ll always be grateful for the love and attention you’ve given him! Nova can't wait to see you all in September ☺️

My daughter has been attending since 8 months she is two now and thoroughly enjoys never had any issues, all worries or queries have been dealt with straight away and staff have always been very professional and approachable. I love being able to see what she’s up to throughout the day on the app. She always goes in and comes out happy and smiling. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic nursery. I wish it wasn't time for her to leave for school! The staff are brilliant and keep you informed of everything going on. The app is brilliant and so easy to see what your child has eaten and how much. The photos are a great bonus too. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being at Witty Kiddies and they've really developed her social skills as well as her interest in phonics and letters. She is now completely ready for school in September. I am just gutted that she can't take the nursery teachers with her.

Amazing setting. Staff is very friendly and they work with kids on development. Regular reports to parents. Nursery use an app for any communication, documentation even for everyday activities of your child including if your child eats food, had a nap, photos throughout the day and more. They are allergens free which is very important. I would definitely recommend.
