A little about me...
I love collecting books and always seem to have a huge pile waiting to be read, so my home is never short of stories and adventures.
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.

Drop Off
Our doors open from 07:45, 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.
Breakfast
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.
Morning
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 10:00 to keep everyone energised throughout their busy morning.
Lunch
From 12:15, 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.
Nap Time
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.
Afternoon
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.
Snack
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 15:30, 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.
Home
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 17:45, 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.
FAQs
FAQs
What are the designated parking and access arrangements for drop-off and pick-up at your nursery?
Finding a space for drop off or pick up at the nursery is easy as we have a large car park with plenty of bays for our families to use.
Does your nursery take the children out for trips in the local community?
Our children enjoy getting out into the local area regularly. We visit the local parks and the library next door for reading sessions. We also love taking trips to Groby Pool to feed the ducks.
How does your nursery prepare my child for the transition to school?
We maintain strong relationships with local schools to help with the move to reception. Teachers often come into our nursery to visit the children in a place where they feel comfortable. During our school prep week, children get a taste of school life by practicing with their PE kits and joining in on sports day.
How does your nursery engage with families and build a strong community?
Our newsfeed board keeps you up to date with everything happening in the nursery. We also love hosting events throughout the year, including: Stay and play sessions, Christmas parties and summer graduation.
How do the settling in sessions work at your nursery?
Most children have three settling sessions at least a week before they start at our nursery. The first session is an hour long where you stay to meet your child's key person and fill in the All About Me booklet. The next two are two-hour sessions where you drop your child off to help them get used to being with us independently.
Activities
Activities
We believe that providing children with rich and varied learning opportunities from an early age supports their overall development and helps them to thrive. Each week, children will enjoy a thoughtfully planned programme of enrichment activities designed to enhance their nursery experience, spark curiosity, nurture a love of learning and create memorable moments. These additional experiences encourage creativity, support holistic development and provide wonderful learning opportunities that broaden children’s experiences and help them discover more about the world around them
