DON'T SETTLE FOR AN UNSETTLED CHILD
When your child isn't happy at nursery, it affects the whole family.
“Not only has my child settled almost immediately, but she has been happy and filled with joy and excitement every day.”
Jessica (Kindërling parent)
What makes Kindërling different?
Kindërling isn't a traditional nursery.
We combine the experience and structure of nursery childcare with the warmth, familiarity and close relationships of a home-based setting.
Our smaller, nurturing environment gives children the opportunity to build strong relationships with the adults caring for them, become familiar with their surroundings and develop confidence at their own pace.
A smaller group
Children aren't one of many. Our small group allows us to get to know each child as an individual and respond to their needs, interests and personality.
Close relationships
Children need to feel safe and secure with the adults caring for them. We take the time to build close, trusting relationships so every child feels known, understood and comfortable in our care.
A calm environment
Kindërling is designed to feel calm and welcoming rather than busy and overwhelming. Ofsted recognised our calm, respectful and harmonious environment as a strength.
Plenty of time outdoors
Our garden, allotment and daily adventures give children space to explore, move and learn. For some children, having the freedom to spend so much of their day outdoors can make a real difference.
Familiarity and consistency
Children spend their days in a familiar environment with a small team of adults who know them well. Over time, this familiarity can help children develop confidence and a sense of belonging.
A calm environment recognised by Ofsted
When you're considering moving your child to a new setting, you want reassurance that they'll be safe, cared for and supported to thrive.
During our Ofsted inspection, behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines were identified as areas where Kindërling demonstrates a strong standard.
Ofsted described our environment as calm, respectful and harmonious, and highlighted the strength of the relationships between adults and children, built on kindness, trust and respect.
Inspectors also observed children becoming increasingly independent, curious and confident, exploring their surroundings and engaging happily in their routines and activities.
These are things we care deeply about every day.
