A little about me...
I love sports, especially playing golf and supporting the Nottingham Panthers Ice Hockey Team, so it's no surprise that my favourite colour is gold!
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 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.
Our children start their day off correctly with a healthy range of options to choose from, such as cereals, fruit and toast for breakfast. 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 10:30 to keep everyone energised throughout their busy morning.
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.
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.
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.
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 15:15, 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.
We offer convenient access with a private car park for our families ensuring a smooth experience during drop-off and pick-up times.
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)
Outdoor learning is an important part of everyday life at our nursery and our children enjoy free-flow access to the gardens enabling them to choose where they want to learn and play throughout the day.
We have established links with our local schools and maintain strong communication to ensure a smooth transition. Within the nursery we focus on preparing children for school through activities that encourage confidence and independence. Our aim is for every child to leave us feeling ready and excited about starting school.
Our team works closely to ensure every one of our children feel safe and supported. Many of our staff members have been part of the team for many years creating that warm familiar feel that so many of our families value. Our Nursery Manager is also the Inclusion Lead for our Nottinghamshire nurseries and is very passionate about ensuring every child has access to learning and support that is tailored to their individual needs.

“Kindred feels like a nurturing environment for my child. They provide a wide range of activities and there is a real focus on outdoor play… I can't recommend Kindred highly enough to people who are looking for a safe and homely environment for their children.”
“I have two children who go to Kindred West Bridgford and cannot recommend them highly enough. The staff are caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and fun, and have always gone out of their way to do right by our kids.”
The staff, facility and the way the classes are structured really made him feel at ease since day one. The facility has a big outdoor space with a section dedicated for the little ones only. The staff is caring and dedicated. I could not recommend it more.
