Kiddi Caru Day Nursery, Coronation Road, Bristol

Children’s wellbeing is considered throughout the nursery day at Coronation Road. Set back from the road on a quiet residential street in Downend, our nursery offers a welcoming environment, with outdoor space connected to each room giving children regular opportunities for fresh air, movement and exploration.

Children at Kiddi Caru Coronation Road enjoy a varied mix of activities and experiences throughout the week, including regular yoga and sports sessions.

Yoga introduces children to movement, stretching and moments of focus, while sports sessions provide opportunities for active play, coordination and playing alongside others.

Experiences also extend beyond the nursery, with visits to the local park for outdoor play and exploration, as well as trips to the library where children can discover and enjoy a variety of stories and books.

Our nursery on Coronation Road in Downend is set back from the road, with a dedicated drop-off and pick-up zone in front of the building to help make arrivals and collections easier for families. Inside, three playrooms are thoughtfully arranged around children’s different ages and stages, with a varied range of resources for play, exploration and learning.

• Hedgehogs: Our baby room for children up to 24 months, with age-appropriate resources and direct access to its own garden.

• Squirrels: Our older toddler room, with accessible resources and experiences that encourage children to make choices, explore their interests and become increasingly independent.

• Badgers: Our spacious preschool room, with opportunities for imaginative play, exploration and learning, as well as direct access to a large garden.

Children move between rooms when they are developmentally and emotionally ready, rather than simply because they have reached a particular age. Transitions are carefully supported by the team, with information about each child’s routines, interests and individual needs shared as they move into their new environment.

Outdoor space

Our three outdoor spaces connect directly to the nursery playrooms, helping to make outdoor experiences a regular part of the nursery day.

The baby garden includes age-appropriate toys and a play kitchen, providing opportunities for exploration and imaginative play, with different resources introduced to offer

Quality of care at Kiddi Caru Coronation Road starts with getting to know each child as an individual and providing consistency throughout their nursery experience.

As children grow and move through the nursery, our practitioners work together to support their transitions, sharing information about their routines, interests and individual needs to provide continuity between rooms.

Building strong relationships with families is also an important part of our approach, with regular communication helping us understand each child and provide care that reflects their individual needs.

Our Early Years curriculum at Kiddi Caru Coronation Road follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), complemented by GrandirUK’s Pathways and Foundations for the Future education programmes.

From babies through to preschool, practitioners create experiences around children’s individual ages, stages and interests, giving them opportunities to explore, create, investigate, make choices and stay active through their learning.

Our inclusive approach recognises that every child develops differently, with practitioners supporting children to become increasingly independent and involved in their learning as they grow.

At Kiddi Caru Coronation Road, we believe children benefit from having time and space to explore at their own pace. Set back from the road on a quiet residential street in Downend, our nursery provides a welcoming environment for play, learning and discovery.

Our approach gives children opportunities to become absorbed in what interests them, whether they are exploring, creating, moving or investigating something new. Practitioners are there to observe, support and introduce new experiences, while giving children time to follow their own ideas without unnecessarily

For families with more than one child, having siblings at our Coronation Road nursery means one drop-off and pick-up, with our dedicated drop-off zone helping to make arrivals and collections easier.

Our three rooms are located within the same nursery building, so brothers and sisters can enjoy the experiences and friendships suited to their own age and stage while remaining part of the same nursery community, with opportunities to see each other and share parts of nursery life.

Sibling places are subject to availability, but where we have space in the appropriate room, we will always look at the options for welcoming brothers and sisters together.

Led by Nursery Manager Emily, our Coronation Road team includes Level 3 qualified nursery practitioners and Early Years teachers, bringing a range of knowledge and experience to the nursery.

Across the team, colleagues are trained in important areas including safeguarding, paediatric first aid and food hygiene, with ongoing professional development supporting their Early Years practice.

Practitioners take time to notice children’s interests and use these to help shape activities and experiences. This responsive approach means children can explore different ideas, resources and opportunities as their interests and learning develop.
