A little about me...

My favourite book is We're Going on a Bear Hunt because the children love joining in with the different sounds and actions throughout the story. They enjoy acting it out together and can confidently retell the story, even without the book.

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.

DAY IN THE LIFE

Select a time of day...

Drop Off

Our doors open from 08:00, 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

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 mid-morning to keep everyone energised.

Lunch

In the afternoon, 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. Later 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 18:00, 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.

"We joined the nursery when my son was 3, having moved him from another local nursery. My son has absolutely thrived under the attentive, caring, nurturing and supportive staff in both rooms that he was part of. The staff took particular interest in his development in every aspect - not only in learning his numbers and letters but sparking a keen interest in the world around him and more importantly, empathy, kindness and care for others around him as well as teaching him to be independent and to be himself! ... We've absolutely loved our time here and are very sad that it is coming to an end. Thank you for everything and best wishes!"

"All staff at Kindred Brockley are superb and really make an effort to share information about your child at the beginning and end of every day. They take excellent care of the children and always try to be flexible and sensible when issues arise. Thank you to them for all their efforts!"

"Both our girls went to Kindred Brockley in the baby room and in Tigers pre-school room. They both had a great time and loved going to nursery. The outdoor space is fab and they spent a lot of time out there as well as doing a wide variety of activities, drawing, crafting etc. The staff were all lovely and supported the girls when they were settling and throughout, leaning in to their interests and helping them develop independence. Thanks so much and we will all miss you!"
