Learning at Kiddo’s
Helping children learn, play, explore and grow through meaningful experiences every day.
At Kiddo’s, we believe children learn best when they feel safe, supported and happy.
What Learning Looks Like at Kiddo’s
At Kiddo’s Day Nursery, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which supports children’s learning and development from birth to five years old.
Our approach combines play, exploration, strong relationships and real-life experiences to help children build confidence, independence and important life skills.
Every child develops differently and our team supports each child at their own pace.

Whether building towers, painting, reading stories, exploring outdoors or caring for Shaq our nursery tortoise, every experience creates opportunities for learning.
