Kindred Huntingdon Nursery and Pre-School

Our facility provides a secure and convenient experience for parents with a private car park and clearly designated drop-off and collection points. These dedicated areas are located just outside the main entrance, ensuring a smooth and safe transition for your child to and from our care. This setup is designed to provide easy, direct access to the building.

Our nursery's ethos is centred on creating a genuine home from home environment. We pride ourselves on providing a nurturing and personal touch, ensuring that every child feels safe and cared for.

Looking to the future, we are transitioning to become a more outdoor-led nursery. We are placing a big emphasis on outdoor play, as we believe that connecting with nature is essential for a child's development, curiosity, and well-being. This shift will allow us to offer even more opportunities for exploration and active learning in the great outdoors.

We work hard to build strong relationships with local schools to ensure a smooth and confident transition for your child. Our dedicated links with neighboring primary schools allow us to facilitate a variety of collaborative activities, including:

School Visits: We invite teachers and staff from local schools to our nursery to meet and play with the children, helping them become familiar with new faces in a comfortable setting.

Information Sharing: Our keyworkers meet with school staff to share important information about each child's development, personality, and progress. This ensures a seamless continuation of their learning journey.

SEN Support: We coordinate closely with the Special Educational Needs (SEN) teams from local schools. Our SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) holds meetings with their counterparts to discuss individual needs and support plans, guaranteeing a smooth and well-supported transition for all children.

We are committed to providing the highest standard of care and attention for every child. Our staff-to-child ratios strictly adhere to all UK regulations to ensure a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.

Our 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)

This commitment to regulated ratios guarantees that each child receives the individual support and guidance they need to thrive.

Our settling-in process is designed to be a smooth and comfortable transition for both you and your child, consisting of three one-hour sessions.

Session 1: You'll join your child in the nursery to meet their keyworker and spend time together. This is a great opportunity to fill out the 'All About Me' book, which helps us learn about your child's personality, routines, and preferences.

Sessions 2 & 3: These sessions are for your child to gradually get used to the nursery environment. We'll arrange one session for an hour in the morning and the other for an hour in the afternoon, where you can drop your child off and collect them later. This gentle separation allows your child to build confidence and independence with their new friends and keyworker.
