Rooted in Love, Care and Joy
Our mission is simple: to create a daytime family, rooted in happiness, where childhood is just as it should be. Our values are at the heart of everything we do, they shape the experiences, routines, and connections that make our nursery a place where children feel safe, confident, and celebrated for who they are.
Childhood is a Gift. At KatieB Kids, we celebrate it, honour it, and make sure every child experiences it with joy, love, and wonder.
We believe in a happy childhood
At KatieB Kids, we know that childhood is a gift to be cherished. Every day should be filled with joy, laughter, curiosity, and discovery, giving children the freedom to explore, imagine, and grow in happiness.
Look through the window and you’ll see children arriving with smiles, others in wellies splashing through puddles, faces bright with excitement as leaves swirl around them in autumn winds. You’ll see teachers crouched on the floor, laughing alongside tiny architects building towers from blocks, and artists creating masterpieces from paint and paper. Everywhere you look, curiosity sparks joy, children exploring nature, singing action songs, and celebrating their achievements with pride.
Even during quiet moments, happiness is present: a child tucked into a comfy corner with a favourite book, another giggling during a gentle cuddle from a teacher, and small hands proudly showing their work on the nursery walls. Every day holds surprises, a new activity, a seasonal project, or a simple moment of connection, and children feel safe, cherished, and free to be themselves.
At KatieB Kids, a happy childhood is not just lived by the children, it’s felt by the whole family. You’ll see your child growing in confidence and curiosity, proud of their achievements, and full of joy each day.
We create a child’s world
Our nursery is designed around children, not adults. Every space, every routine, every activity exists to nurture curiosity, exploration, and growth, giving children the freedom to lead and the support to flourish.
Look through the window and you’ll see a world built at child height, shelves brimming with open-ended resources, natural materials, and tools that invite discovery. Toddlers experiment with textures and shapes, while older children immerse themselves in long-term projects inspired by their own questions. You’ll see teachers quietly observing, following children’s interests, and gently extending their ideas, whether it’s creating a mini garden, building a fantastical city, or turning a cardboard box into a rocket ship.
Routines are predictable yet flexible, allowing children to feel secure while exploring new experiences. You’ll notice the subtle rhythms of the day, snack time, story time, outdoor play, carefully aligned with children’s energy, attention, and curiosity. Children’s voices guide the flow of the day; they choose how to spend their time, collaborate with friends, and explore what fascinates them most.
At KatieB Kids, children’s worlds are shaped by their own curiosity and imagination. As a parent, you’ll see your child engaging confidently, making choices, solving problems, and discovering new interests every day, all in a space designed to support them first.
We respect our children as children
At KatieB Kids, we recognise that children are capable, curious, and full of ideas. We honour their voices, choices, and individuality, supporting them to grow with dignity, confidence, and self-respect.
Look through the window and you’ll see teachers kneeling to meet children at eye level, listening intently as little voices share big ideas. Children are encouraged to make choices, from which activity to join, to how to express themselves through art, music, or movement. You’ll notice toddlers using simple sign language to communicate their needs, and older children collaborating to solve problems and make decisions together.
Even in everyday routines, respect is evident: a teacher asks permission before helping with personal care, children are supported to tidy up together, and conflicts are approached as opportunities to learn empathy and fairness. Every action demonstrates that children are valued as individuals, and that their opinions and feelings matter.
At KatieB Kids, respect is woven into every moment. You’ll see your child growing in independence, understanding boundaries, making thoughtful choices, and feeling confident that their voice is heard, a foundation that nurtures self-esteem and lifelong resilience.
We create a home away from home
At KatieB Kids, we create a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, secure, and valued, a home-like setting that supports emotional well-being and a sense of belonging.
Look through the window and you’ll see children sitting together at a table, sharing meals with laughter and conversation, just like at home. You’ll see cosy corners filled with cushions and favourite books, where children curl up for quiet moments or a gentle cuddle from a teacher. In the kitchen, the aroma of freshly prepared food fills the air, and toddlers cheer as they spot a special treat on the trolley, even cakes made with hidden vegetables bring joy!
Around the nursery, familiar routines provide comfort and reassurance. Teachers greet children by name, know their families, and remember the small details that make each child feel special. The environment is full of homely touches: displays of artwork, family photos, and resources that reflect the children’s lives, creating a sense of continuity between nursery and home.
At KatieB Kids, children feel the warmth and security of home every day. As a parent, you’ll see your child confidently navigating routines, enjoying meals, resting when needed, and feeling comforted and connected, all within a setting where they are truly known, loved, and supported.
We are a community created with children, for children
At KatieB Kids, we foster a sense of belonging and collaboration. Children learn, play, and grow together, shaping their environment and supporting one another as part of a vibrant, caring community.
Look through the window and you’ll see children working together on a shared project, building, creating, and problem-solving as a team. Toddlers and older children collaborate to set up play spaces, organize activities, or explore the outdoors on group adventures. You’ll notice children learning to take turns, share, and resolve disagreements with guidance, while teachers encourage discussion, cooperation, and reflection.
Community extends beyond the classroom, teachers communicate daily with families, sharing successes, challenges, and discoveries, ensuring children experience consistency between home and nursery. Whether it’s a seasonal celebration, a garden project, or a creative workshop, every child’s voice helps shape the experience.
At KatieB Kids, your child is part of a living, breathing community. You’ll see them learning to collaborate, negotiating with friends, taking pride in shared achievements, and understanding the value of contribution, developing empathy, confidence, and social skills that last a lifetime.
We offer the care of a parent with the expertise of an educator
At KatieB Kids, we combine the warmth, attentiveness, and care of home with the knowledge, skill, and guidance of expert early years educators. Every child receives personalised support that nurtures their development, independence, and emotional well-being.
Look through the window and you’ll see teachers gently guiding play, balancing freedom with structure, and observing children closely to understand their interests and needs. You’ll notice children confidently making choices, deciding what to play, how to explore, and when to ask for help, while knowing that caring, attentive adults are always there to support them.
Even small moments demonstrate this balance: a teacher kneels to help a child with a puzzle, offering encouragement rather than answers; another teacher helps a child understand a big emotion, teaching them tools to cope and communicate. Every action combines nurturing care with educational expertise, helping children learn, grow, and thrive.
At KatieB Kids, children experience the best of both worlds, love and care that feels like home, paired with the professional guidance that builds confidence, independence, and essential life skills. You’ll see your child exploring, learning, and developing resilience in a safe, supportive, and enriching environment.
We go beyond childcare
At KatieB Kids, we provide more than care, we lay the foundations for a happy, confident, and resilient life. Our approach equips children with the skills, curiosity, and mindset they need to thrive both now and in the future.
Look through the window and you’ll see children experimenting, problem-solving, and celebrating effort as much as achievement. They are encouraged to try, make mistakes, and try again, learning resilience, creativity, and critical thinking along the way. You’ll notice children taking responsibility for their choices, collaborating with friends, and exploring new ideas in long-term projects inspired by their curiosity.
Beyond the classroom, children experience the world around them, walks in the neighbourhood, seasonal outdoor projects, and playful exploration that teaches independence, observation, and confidence. Every interaction, activity, and routine is an opportunity to develop skills for life, from social-emotional understanding to practical independence, preparing them not just for school, but for life itself.
At KatieB Kids, your child’s early years are rich with experiences that nurture curiosity, resilience, and imagination. You’ll see them growing into confident, thoughtful, and capable individuals, equipped to meet future challenges with joy, creativity, and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
