Welcome to our Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool in Park Gate

Katherine
Nursery Manager
Welcome to Kiddi Caru Park Gate, a warm and welcoming day nursery where children aged three months to preschool are encouraged to explore, learn, and thrive. We value every child’s individuality and aim to inspire a lifelong love of learning through engaging activities, nurturing relationships, and a caring environment where children feel safe, confident, and supported.
Our beautiful outdoor setting, including direct access to a forest area, gives children daily opportunities to explore nature, build confidence, and develop essential physical and problem‑solving skills. Families appreciate our wonderful team, strong parent partnerships, and the way we work closely with them to support each child’s development, interests, and emotional well-being.

We are also situated just before Swanwick train station, offering excellent transport links for families and smooth access for drop‑off and collection.
About Our Nursery
Our curriculum
Our curriculum nurtures curiosity, independence and a love of learning by blending a range of early years approaches that support children’s development. We draw inspiration from the Curiosity Approach, which encourages children to explore their interests and ask questions through open‑ended play, alongside STEM learning that introduces early science, technology, engineering and maths through hands‑on activities that build problem‑solving skills, and heuristic play that offers natural, everyday objects to inspire creativity, imagination and independent thinking.


Our team
Our nursery manager and dedicated staff team include two trained SENCOs and an Early Years teacher, ensuring we can support children with special educational needs and individual learning styles. Many of our practitioners have been with us for years, creating trusting relationships with families and providing consistent, high‑quality care. Parents often tell us how much their child has grown in confidence thanks to the warm, nurturing environment our team creates every day.
Our practitioners are passionate about early years education, supporting every child to develop new skills, explore their interests, and build the foundations they need for future learning. Their commitment is reflected in the caring, secure atmosphere they create, where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to thrive.
Parent partnerships
We believe strong relationships with families are essential. Our Grandir UK app provides regular updates on routines, activities, and your child’s progress, helping parents stay connected throughout the day.
We host a variety of events including stay and play sessions, parents’ evenings, sports days, and seasonal celebrations such as Christmas, Mother’s Day, and graduation ceremonies. Our lending library encourages a love of reading at home, and our friendly staff are always available for face‑to‑face conversations or email support.
Our facilities
Playrooms
Children progress through our playrooms based on their readiness, ensuring each child moves at a pace that supports their confidence and development. Our rooms include: Bumblebees for babies, Ladybirds our younger toddler room, Caterpillars for older toddlers and Butterflies for preschool children.
Each room is thoughtfully designed with age‑appropriate resources, cosy spaces, and engaging activities that support learning, independence, and exploration.

Garden
Our spacious garden is divided into two areas to meet the needs of different age groups. Babies and toddlers enjoy a safe, nurturing outdoor space, while older toddlers and preschool children have access to a larger area designed for active play and exploration.
The garden leads directly to our enchanting forest area, where children enjoy mud kitchen play, climbing equipment, natural exploration, and hands‑on learning experiences that support physical development, confidence, and curiosity.
Activities
Children enjoy a wide range of absolutely amazing activities including Boogie Mites, multi‑sports, yoga, creative play, and water play. Our educational programmes support essential life skills, communication, physical development, and emotional wellbeing.
Outdoor play is a cherished part of our daily routine. Children love collecting acorns, exploring natural materials, observing wildlife, and discovering the world around them, experiences that help them develop confidence, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for nature.
Community outings
We love exploring our local community. Children enjoy visits to the nearby park, local shops, and places like Whiteley, where they can discover new sights and experiences. These outings help children connect with their surroundings, build confidence, and enjoy shared adventures with their friends.
