A little about me...
My favourite children's book is Giraffes Can't Dance! I love this book because it shows that everyone is different and there's always something we can do that makes us special in our own way.
I can recite this book without even looking at the pages now. I love reading it to the children.
What is one of the most important things you should know about us? That’s easy: our fabulous teams! Pure and simple.
Dedicated to being the best that a family could ask for, our team are constantly developing themselves through our training program run by childcare and EYFS experts.
It is not just our little ones who are the passionate lifelong learners here at Kindred! It’s all a testament to their love of what they do, and what makes Kindred the incredible, loving place that it is.
Our doors open from 07:30, where you and your little one will be greeted by a member of our friendly team who will strive to ensure that the transition from home to nursery is a smooth and happy one. Wave ‘see you soon!’ to your child in the knowledge that they will be safe, well cared for and having endless amounts of fun as they settle in for the day ahead.
Our children start their day off correctly with a healthy range of options to choose from, such as cereals, fruit and toast for breakfast from 08:00. For weaning babies at all mealtimes, a specially curated weaning menu is prepared by our trained chef and can be mashed, chopped or pureed depending on your child's individual needs.
We come together for Circle Time before beginning a morning filled with exciting opportunities for learning and discovery. Fuelled with a yummy breakfast, children enjoy a range of enrichment activities, adult-led learning linked to focus topics and child-led play experiences. From loose parts exploration and sensory activities to creative arts, imaginative role play and cosy reading corners, there is truly something for every child to enjoy. Outdoor play also forms an important part of the morning, allowing children to build confidence, develop physical skills and explore through active play. A healthy snack is available from 10:00 to keep everyone energised throughout their busy morning.
From 12:00, we enjoy lunch, freshly prepared by our on-site chef. Mealtimes provide a wonderful opportunity to socialise with friends, develop independence and explore a variety of flavours and textures. Our seasonal menus offer plenty of choice and are carefully adapted to accommodate individual dietary requirements and preferences.
Following lunch, our younger children can enjoy a well-earned nap or quiet time. For our little sleepers, we create a calm and comforting atmosphere using soft lighting, soothing music and cosy bedding to support rest and relaxation. Children who are not sleeping can enjoy quiet indoor activities, stories and gentle play, helping to create a peaceful transition into the afternoon.
Children continue their learning journey through a balance of indoor and outdoor experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity and independence. Whether exploring open-ended resources, engaging in imaginative play or enjoying active time outdoors, every afternoon offers opportunities for discovery and development.
To keep little ones fuelled and ready for all the awe and wonder their days hold, we offer a healthy mid-afternoon snack, including fresh fruit and vegetables alongside other nutritious options. From 16:00, our children enjoy a delicious evening meal before settling into a relaxed period of child-led play, giving them time to unwind and enjoy activities of their own choosing.
As the day draws to a close, children enjoy relaxed play with their friends before being collected throughout the evening. Families are kept up to date through Satchel during the day, and at collection time your child's key person will share highlights of their learning, achievements and wellbeing, along with any important information. Nursery closes at 18:00, when we wave our final goodbyes and wish everyone a safe journey home.
This is just an example day that the nursery follows, each day is subject to variation depending on activities and the needs of the children.
Our children have free-flow access to the outdoors all day, every day giving them the freedom to choose between indoor and outdoor play whenever they wish.
We regularly take the children on trips around Bourne, including visits to the local park and the nearby nature reserve. We also enjoy walking around town to "say hi" to our neighbours, helping the children build a sense of belonging and confidence within their local area.
We have our own private car park on-site providing a safe and convenient space for parents to park during drop-off and pick-up times.
Our team has worked together for a very long time; some of our staff have even been with us since the nursery first opened! We all know each other very well and this stability and trust creates a warm, home-from-home environment for every child in our care.
We maintain a wonderful relationship with the local Children’s Centre, which is just a 15-minute walk away. We benefit from access to their lending library full of specialised equipment which helps us to further enhance our children’s sensory and play experiences.
We believe that providing children with rich and varied learning opportunities from an early age supports their overall development and helps them to thrive. Each week, children will enjoy a thoughtfully planned programme of enrichment activities designed to enhance their nursery experience, spark curiosity, nurture a love of learning and create memorable moments. These additional experiences encourage creativity, support holistic development and provide wonderful learning opportunities that broaden children’s experiences and help them discover more about the world around them.

“My daughter has just moved into the toddlers room and she has transitioned so well and settled in perfectly. The staff are great and always smiley when they come to the door. My daughter feels comfortable going to all staff and doesn't even look back once she's through those doors which puts my mind at ease so much.”
“Our daughter started nursery in April… The communication is great, the smile on her face at the end of the day is even better. There are regular photo updates which we love to see. The staff genuinely care and are efficient in reporting any changes they notice. We couldn't have asked for a more caring and welcoming team to help us raise our little girl.”
