A little about me...

My favourite nursery rhyme is Incy Wincy Spider, as the children love joining in with the actions throughout the song, and my favourite story is We're Going on a Bear Hunt because of the different emotions, expressions, and excitement throughout the story.

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.
 

DAY IN THE LIFE

Day in the Life

Drop Off

Our doors open from 08:00, 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.

Breakfast

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.

Morning

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.

Lunch

From 11:30, 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.

Nap Time

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.

Afternoon

Our 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.

Snack

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.

Home

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.

FAQs

FAQs

What is the unique feel or ethos of your nursery team?

Our nursery is built on a strong family feel, which is reinforced by our accessible team. We maintain a genuine open door policy where our management is always available on-site, ensuring we are approachable and that nothing is ever too much trouble. All of our staff actively work to know every child in the nursery, creating a truly welcoming and personal environment for every family.

How does your nursery engage with families and build a strong community?

We prioritise a close partnership with our families through clear communication and community connection such as weekly newsletters and relaxed coffee mornings. We also show our appreciation for our parents by offering thoughtful touches, such as parent self-care kits.

How do the settling in sessions at your nursery work?

We structure our settling-in process across three sessions to ensure a gradual and smooth transition for your child:
During their initial  session, you stay with your child for half-hour to complete the "All About Me” Booklet and ensure a comfortable introduction.
For the following session, you drop your child off for an hour, allowing them to practice separation and start forming independent bonds with staff.
In the last session, your child will stay for an extended three hours to experience a substantial portion of the nursery routine.
We are highly flexible; if your child requires more time to feel secure, we can easily accommodate and arrange additional sessions.

Do you have links with any local family hubs or charities?

We are actively involved in supporting our wider community. We frequently organise food bank collections and work directly with Redbridge Food Bank to teach children about kindness and social responsibility while assisting local people in need.

What are the staff-to-child ratios at your nursery?

Our staff-to-child ratios strictly adhere to UK regulations to ensure a safe, secure, and nurturing environment.
Our regulated ratios are as follows:
Babies (Under 2 years): 1 staff member to every 3 children (1:3)
Toddlers (2-3 years): 1 staff member to every 5 children (1:5)
Preschoolers (3-4 years): 1 staff member to every 8 children (1:8)

"We are so pleased with our experience at the nursery and the care our son receives. Since attending, we have seen such positive development in his confidence, communication, and independence. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's progress, which gives us real peace of mind as parents. It's lovely to see how happy and engaged he is every day, and we truly appreciate the nurturing environment the team creates. We couldn't be happier with the support he is receiving"

A K

"The nursery is great and our daughter loves it. The team there is lovely and make a real effort to give individual personalised care to the children and create engaging activities for them. We get lots of updates about how she's doing. My daughter has developed so much since being there and come out of her shell. There's a lovely outdoor space and the team working there is consistent with very few changes to staff, which is great. The nursery is always clean and there is a lovely selection of toys there. I highly rate the nursery and staff."

Naomi J

"The staff are amazing - all so kind, caring, attentive, friendly and professional. They took the time to get to know him and he has formed such a lovely bond with his key worker. He has developed by leaps and bounds since he started and we have seen a wonderful, positive shift in his confidence, communication, and independence.He has the opportunity to engage in fun and educational activities both indoors and outdoors. As parents, leaving your child can be tough, but we couldn't feel more safe and confident here. The team gives us peace of mind, and it is so lovely to see how happy, settled, and engaged he is."
