Kiddies is a bright, purpose-built nursery and kindergarten in Riverside where under-sixes learn through play, stories and a lot of paint.

Our story

Fifteen years, one street, thousands of muddy boots

Kiddies began in a converted corner house on Maple Walk with eleven children, two teachers and a garden that was mostly nettles. We had no marketing plan, only a conviction: that a nursery should feel like the calmest room in a child's week.

Today we hold ninety places across six rooms, still on the same street. Our longest-serving teacher has been here since the second week. Most of what we do has not changed — we simply have a bigger garden and better waterproofs.

Our story

What we hold to

Small groups, always

Four children to one adult under three, six to one above.

Outdoors is not optional

Two hours in the garden every day the wind is under gale force.

Food cooked here

One kitchen, one cook, a menu the children help write.

Teachers who stay

Average tenure is nine years. Your child keeps the same face.
