What makes Kindred Lowdham unique?

Kindred Lowdham Nursery and Pre-School FAQs
What are the parking and access arrangements for drop-off and pick-up?
A large private car park is located at the rear of the nursery, making drop-off and pick-up as convenient as possible for families. For added security, parents can use the intercom system to gain access to the nursery. Younger children are collected and brought to the door by a member of the team, while older children can be supported to walk independently to the entrance. This secure and well-managed approach helps ensure a safe and smooth experience at the beginning and end of each day.
How do you build relationships with parents?
Our nursery values strong partnerships with families and works hard to create a welcoming community. Parents are kept informed through regular updates and our online newsfeed, helping them stay connected to their child's learning and development. Throughout the year, our nursery hosts events such as parent breakfasts, picnics, graduation celebrations and Christmas performances, giving families the opportunity to share special moments with us. Our open-door approach and regular parents' evenings help ensure parents feel supported, involve and part of nursery life.
What links do you have with local schools to prepare my child for the next step?
Supporting a smooth transition to school is an important part of our preschool experience. Children are encouraged to develop independence through everyday routines, such as self-serving meals, putting on coats and shoes and managing personal belongings. Families receive school readiness information, and local school representatives are invited to visit the nursery where possible. Our separate baby room also allows children to move through age-appropriate spaces and build relationships with their peers as they progress towards preschool. For children with additional needs, the team works closely with schools and other professionals to ensure a well-supported and successful transition.
What is the unique feel or ethos of your nursery team?
Our ethos is centred around creating a warm, family-focused environment where children feel safe, valued and encouraged to be themselves. Through a home-from-home approach and a strong focus on awe and wonder, our team supports children to build confidence, develop independence and enjoy a lifelong love of learning.
