Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool in Abington Park

Curriculum

We offer a broad curriculum with an holistic approach to childcare and education allowing children to experience all aspects of learning. We centre our curriculum around each individual child and their development, tailoring our approach to suit their needs. We are supported by guidance and different approaches like Hygge, Curiosity Approach, Reggio Emilia.

We offer a variety of resources, providing learning opportunities that follow the children’s interest and extending their learning.

Team

We have a highly qualified, dedicated and wonderful team, with many who have been with us for over 15 years. Our nursery manager has been part of the nursery family for over 10 years. Our team develop strong bonds with our children, and each child has a key person who is their trusted carer who helps them feel safe and secure every day.

Our staff members hold a wealth of Early Years knowledge, attained over many years, which ensures we provide the highest levels of care for your child. Some of our team specialise in certain areas of child care and development and we have two qualified SENCo carers. Our team love working with each other and our families at Abington Park which ensures we have a great team dynamic.

Parent Partnership

We have a welcoming area on the first floor of our building with access to information on the nursery, as well as a lending library for everyone to borrow books and read together at home. We have regular parents evenings to ensure you are kept updated with your child’s development, stay and play sessions and special occasions where we invite you to stay and join in with your child, as well as a range of other nursery events for you to be part of our nursey community.

For regular updates we use our nursery app which plays a crucial role in enhancing communication with our parents, keeping you connected with your child’s daily activities, meals, and milestones, with easy access to photos and notes from our dedicated staff. The app enables open communication for questions or feedback and provides important announcements and reminders about special events. Our aim is to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all families.

Facilities

Our wonderful nursery is spread over two floors with six bright and calm rooms for your child as they grow and develop. We have large gardens, with varied spaces that offer different experiences, creating the perfect indoors and outdoor environment for your little one to grow and flourish every day.

Playrooms

Our six bright and well resourced playrooms are designed to meet the developmental needs of each individual child, so although our playrooms are loosely divided by age, our children transition between rooms based on their individual readiness. Each room provides a calm environment with high-quality age-appropriate resources so our children can explore and engage with each suitable activity.

Outdoor Space

We are so lucky to have four wonderful and large gardens. Each garden offers different experiences for the children to enjoy. We have quiet areas, mud kitchens, climbing equipment that includes a bridge and ramps, a gardening area and a compost. Each area allowing your child to develop a range of skills, from strength and coordination to sharing skills and engaging with nature. We are passionate about using our gardens to enhance learning.

Activities

We offer a selection of inspiring activities to keep our children happy and engaged. Our youngest children enjoy Sing and Sign sessions from our staff lead, which helps them to learn basic sign language and communication skills. In our older age groups, we use Boogie Mites as an extra way to learn letters and sounds, whilst getting them moving and grooving to the music.

Community Outings

Our wonderful location, opposite Abington’s large park enables us to use the park by going on walks, trips to the lake and much more. Our nursery also has a strong relationship with the care home next door to us, enabling weekly visits to the residents, developing bonds and our children’s learning. We go to the library for signing sessions and to select books we would like to bring back to the nursery and read.
