WHO
WE ARE
We opened a small nursery in 2013 preparing early years children for the next stage in life. Since then we have received two outstanding grades from Ofsted and have been highly commended for our teaching approach. We know first-hand that the early years are so important and we have become highly skilled at supporting children develop not only on track but above the national average. We have developed this platform so any adult can draw on our experience and repeat our success for every child.
ACTIVITY
AGE FOCUS
All activities are intended for multi age learning. However, each activity is written to focus around a particular one of our age categories. So it doesn’t matter if, for example, your ‘Baby’ is taking part in a ‘pre-schooler’, activity. Adults are guided to different learning outcomes for children of different ages and stages of learning for each of Kindi’s activities.
BABY (0+ YEARS)
Age guides are only a gentle focus on a particular age as any child of any age can participate in any activity.
TODDLER (18+ MONTHS)
For each activity adults are guided to different learning outcomes for children of different ages
PRE-SCHOOLER (2.5+ YEARS)
Each activity has a focus on developing skills for certain ages but all activities are designed for children of all ages to take part.
KINDI (4+ YEARS)
Age guides are only a gentle focus on a particular age as any child of any age can participate in any activity.
