Award-Winning Enrichment at KatieB Kids
Enriching early years experiences - why they matter
We are thrilled to share that KatieB Kids has been named “Most Enriching Nursery 2025 - South East London” at the Greater London Enterprise Awards. This recognition reflects what we believe matters most in the early years- providing children with experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence for life.
But what does “enriching” really mean in practice for young children? It’s about creating opportunities beyond the basics of care, where children can explore, imagine, and develop independence in a safe and supportive environment. Research shows that early exposure to varied experiences not only supports emotional well-being but also lays strong foundations for later learning.
At KatieB Kids, enrichment happens every day through our accredited Forest School programme, where children build resilience and problem-solving skills in nature. It happens in our unique child-led curriculum, inspired by Reggio Emilia and Montessori, where children’s interests guide their learning. And it happens through our community ethos, where parents are active partners in their child’s journey.
Winning this award is a proud moment for our team, families, and wonderful children. For us, though, the true reward is seeing children light up with confidence, creativity, and joy as they learn and grow.
3 Simple Ways to Enrich Your Child’s Day
Get outdoors – Even a short daily walk or time in the garden can spark curiosity. Encourage children to collect leaves, spot wildlife, or notice seasonal changes – it builds observation skills and a love of nature.
Follow their interests – If your child is fascinated by cars, cooking, or dinosaurs, let their play and activities reflect that. Child-led learning fosters independence and deeper engagement.
Connect through community – Whether it’s a playdate, library visit, or local group, shared experiences with others help children develop social skills and feel part of something bigger.
At KatieB Kids, these values are woven into everything we do – and we are proud that our Most Enriching Nursery 2025 award celebrates just that.
