The first five years are the most crucial period of any child’s life. At Kido Battersea, we’ve set out to to create the highest quality nurseries and preschools bringing together pedagogy, design and technology.

Our curriculum draws from world-renowned pedagogies and is thoughtfully guided by the EYFS framework to support your child’s unique development and learning journey.

We believe that a combination of free and structured play, a nurturing and stimulating learning environment, and an abundance of care and attention provide the most solid foundation for children in the early years. Through a thoughtfully designed environment and engaging activities, children are encouraged to discover, play, and learn. We offer project-based learning to spark your child’s curiosity, inviting them to explore the world around them in meaningful, creative ways, providing high-quality early childhood education.

We offer French and Spanish sessions throughout the week and incorporate additional languages that reflect the diverse cultures of our Kido communities.

Kido was inspired by a group of parents from different parts of the world that found it hard to find premium quality early years education for their children. They searched for a great team of specialists to create an innovative educational program that would provide quality education and value the parents' involvement. And they found it! Our international team of specialists, together with our founders, have created an innovative curriculum that is customised according to each child's developmental needs and allows the parents to have an active role in it.

Nutrition plays a key role in a child’s development, and the food offered at Kido Battersea is thoughtfully planned to support their health, energy, learning and development.

Your child will be offered breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and snacks throughout the day. We partner with Nursery Kitchen who specialise in preparing meals for children. The menus are prepared by a team of chefs, dieticians and nutritionists who create meals that are appealing to children ensuring they contain the recommended intakes of calories and nutrients. The meals are prepared with high quality fresh ingredients and are nut-free. The portions offered take account of the age of the children and are in line with the regional recommended portion size for babies and young children. The menu can be adapted to cater to different food requirements ensuring a nutritious balanced diet for children with allergies or other dietary requirements. We do not provide Halal or Kosher food, however there are vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian options available.

Children are offered milk at breakfast (alternatives available) and water is available at all times within their rooms. If you would like to find out a little more about our partner Nursery Kitchen please click here.

You will be sent an email to create an account and log in for the app once you have registered with us.

During pick-up and drop-off we'll be sure to talk through anything you need to know and answer any of your questions.
 

Our nurseries are open from 8am to 6pm. We offer options for early drop-off at 7.30 am and later pick-up at 6.30 pm at an additional charge. The nursery is open all year round apart from public bank holidays, one week during Christmas and two training inset days.

We have created a curriculum that supports your child's learning and development through indoor and outdoor activities. It's inspired by teaching philosophies and world renowned peadgogies along with the EYFS tailoring it to your child.

The Kido curriculum is in line with the EYFS framework and we use Development Matters as a guide to assess your children's learning.

Your child will also have the opportunity to learn different languages such as Spanish and French through our language programs.

STEM projects and Explorer Day activities give children the chance to become little scientists, engineers, and explorers—learning through play and discovery.

Our nurseries endeavour to take the children out and about within the local community exploring the outdoors, visiting parks, libraries and nearby cultural spots to help children connect with and learn from their surroundings.

All meals, snacks, milk, nappies and wipes are included in the fees.

We offer full days (8 am-6 pm) and half day sessions with an option of the morning (8 am-1 pm) or afternoon (1 pm-6 pm). Additional sessions can be booked with your nursery manager, subject to availibility.
