Services
Day Nursery
Our day nursery provides full-time care for children from birth to school age. We create a safe, engaging environment where children develop social, emotional, and cognitive skills through play-based learning. Our staff deliver individualised attention, nutritious meals, and sensory activities to support holistic growth. The nursery operates 51 weeks a year with flexible hours to accommodate working families.
Preschool
Our preschool programme prepares children for school through structured EYFS-aligned activities. We focus on literacy, numeracy, creativity, and physical development while maintaining a playful, child-led approach. Weekly library visits and outdoor learning enhance curiosity. Staff track progress via individual learning journals shared with parents through the Famly app.
Hygge Approach
Our Hygge-inspired spaces foster calm, comfort, and connection. Neutral tones, natural materials, and cosy areas encourage mindfulness and emotional security. This Danish philosophy guides our routines, promoting warmth through shared meals, storytelling, and unhurried play. Children learn to self-regulate and build resilience in a stress-free setting.
SEN Support
We provide tailored support for children with speech delays, sensory needs, or developmental challenges. Our SENCO-trained staff collaborate with external therapists and parents to create individual action plans. Examples include speech therapy partnerships and sensory room access. Regular progress reviews ensure children reach milestones at their own pace.
Parent Partnership
We prioritise open communication through daily app updates, bi-annual parents evenings, and stay-and-play sessions. Parents contribute to learning journals, access a lending library, and receive guidance on home development activities. This collaborative approach ensures consistency between nursery and home environments.

Fantastic place can't recommend enough, so much more than a nursery. The staff are brilliant, they really take child development to another level. Arlo is almost 2 and has thrived since going, he absolutely loves it there. You can see all the children are constantly interacted with and given their full attention. Thank you to everyone at Kinder Giggles for doing such amazing work.

My daughter attends this nursery and they have helped her development so much. They look after her as though she is their own and push her to reach her milestones. The staff are caring and compassionate, knowledgeable and dedicated. I wouldn't want my baby to go anywhere else. Thank you to all staff at Kinder Giggles for everything you do for my girl.

My son has been going this fantastic nursery for almost 3 years. He loves it that much he’s always asking to go to nursery at 7.20am. It’s a brilliant nursery the staff always go above and beyond for the children and you get regular updates through out the day of what they’ve been up to. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for childcare. We will both be gutted when he leaves at the end of august to start his new adventure at big school.

My daughter doesn't go here but was due to until my circumstances changed. However I have to review and say how amazing Emily and the team have been. Emily sorted a covid safe show around through zoom. Gave me all the information I needed. Even went out of her way, as well as the team to accommodate my needs for my daughter. Even when I emailed to say I no longer needed a place, she was absolutely lovely and said I could contact in the future it anything changed. I cannot thank you guys enough!
