About the Employer

Kiddy Care Nursery is an ideal childcare provision which caters for children learners to make a start in to the educational world. We help children attain all the necessary skills for them to make a good and secure start in full time education. We welcome children from all ethnicity and diversity. We ensure that children become confident, creative and have a positive outlook. We provide an enriched environment to support their learning and inquisitive nature. Children often need their learning to be scaffolded by a significant other and therefore we have qualified staff who use the key persons system to their advantage to monitor the progress children are making and to build good strong relationships with the parents. Alongside this we take in to consideration some key theorist who influence our education systems today. At Kiddy Care Nursery we follow a robust recruitment policy which allows us to choose the most suitable person to work with us. We take matters of safeguarding seriously and ensure that all the children in our care are safe and healthy. We have a cook onsite who helps us provide healthy meals throughout the day. Throughout the year we arrange various trips to selected museums, theme parks, farms, library, holy sanctuaries and other topic related places. We also have some special days where Zoo lab comes in with their pets to show the children how to care for them. Children also have a special book in which we gather evidence of their work and progress. We also enjoy giving home learning for some fun time at home. We are also a 'Good' from Ofsted.
