At Kido, our purpose is to deliver child-centred, high-quality early years education that enables every child to thrive and become their best selves. Our ambitious curriculum is designed around this belief, tailored to each child’s individual stage of development and brings together the Early Years Foundation Stage with the Kido Early Years Programme.
Developed by a team of early years experts, our pedagogy is informed by established educational approaches, including Montessori, Reggio Emilia and the theory of Multiple Intelligences to create a rich, innovative, play-based learning experience. Children benefit from a careful balance of guided and child-initiated activities, with opportunities for both free and structured play within nurturing, stimulating environments that support curiosity, confidence and wellbeing.
Our nurseries come together with children from across our international group, creating meaningful opportunities to share experiences, discover and learn.
Our curriculum is brought to life through our Early Years Programmes, seamlessly woven into weekly experiences that inspire curiosity, extend learning and support every child’s development. We aim to offer a wide range of experiences across Kido; however, some programmes may vary depending on the nursery.

Through shared, month-long projects, children are given the time and space to explore topics in depth, ask questions, and make meaningful connections as their learning unfolds.
These project-based experiences support the development of early critical thinking, problem-solving and investigative skills, blending child-led exploration with guided learning. By inviting wonder, discovery and collaboration, Our Explorer Days encourage children to become confident, curious learners who enjoy exploring ideas together.

From sports days and graduations to family fundraisers, coffee mornings and seasonal celebrations, our events bring our community together and create joyful, memorable experiences for children and families alike.
support children to understand the world around them — and their place within it — by learning beyond the nursery walls. Through regular visits to local community spaces such as libraries, shops and parks, children build confidence, curiosity and a sense of belonging in the world around them.
Guided by children’s interests, we also plan more adventurous trips to inspiring places such as museums, theatres and attractions like the Sea Life Centre. These real-world experiences enrich learning, spark curiosity and bring children’s interests to life in meaningful, memorable ways.
offers children rich outdoor learning experiences that deepen their connection with the natural world. Through regular Forest School sessions, children are encouraged to explore, move, create and take managed risks, all within a supportive and nurturing outdoor environment.
Guided by our qualified Forest School partners, children develop physical skills, social cooperation and problem-solving abilities, while building confidence, resilience and a lifelong appreciation for nature and the outdoors.
Our nurseries welcome children from 3 months to 4 years, providing age-appropriate learning that supports each stage of their development. Guided by our belief that children thrive when they feel secure and confident, we carefully support transitions between rooms, moving children on when they are ready. This thoughtful, child-led approach ensures every child feels safe, supported, and able to flourish as they progress into their next stage of learning.
The early years provide the building blocks for a lifetime of learning, discovery, and growth. Explore how Kido's innovative approach to early years education helps children develop confidence, curiosity, critical thinking skills, and a lifelong love of learning.
