Our Facilities
Kinver Garden Day Nursery offers a range of thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor environments, providing children with the space, resources and experiences they need at every stage of their early years.
Our different settings allow children to progress naturally through the nursery, from our homely Baby Unit through to our dedicated Toddler and Preschool provision.
Baby Unit
Ages 0–2
Our Baby Unit is based within our beautiful Victorian nursery building, providing a warm, welcoming and homely environment for our youngest children.
Light and spacious rooms are carefully organised with age and developmentally appropriate resources, creating opportunities for sensory exploration, movement, play and early learning.
Children progress through the baby provision according to their individual stage of development rather than simply their age, helping transitions to feel natural and familiar. Each child is supported by a dedicated key person who knows them and their individual needs well.
The Baby Unit also benefits from its own safe and secure outdoor garden, allowing children to enjoy fresh air, physical play and outdoor learning as part of their everyday experience.
Toddler Unit
Ages 2–3
Located directly behind our original nursery building, our dedicated Toddler Unit provides the next stage of the Kinver Garden journey.
Its close proximity to the Baby Unit helps children make a smooth and familiar transition when they are ready.
The building offers large, bright and spacious rooms, with carefully planned learning areas and resources designed specifically around the developmental needs of two and three-year-olds.
The environment gives children increasing freedom to explore, make choices and develop their confidence and independence while remaining within a nurturing and familiar setting.
Preschool
Ages 3–4
Our dedicated Preschool is based at Kinver Scout Camp, providing our oldest children with their own spacious environment as they prepare for the transition to school.
The large hall gives children plenty of space for learning, creativity and physical development, with areas and resources designed to support all aspects of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
Preschool also benefits from its own outdoor garden and direct access to our Forest School provision, giving children a balance of indoor and outdoor learning throughout their week.
Forest School
Outdoor learning is an important part of the Kinver Garden experience.
Our Forest School provides children with opportunities to explore the natural world, investigate, problem-solve, take appropriate risks and develop confidence, resilience and independence.
Children throughout the nursery have access to Forest School, allowing outdoor learning to form part of their experience as they progress through the setting.
Safe and Convenient Access
Our nursery benefits from its own private car park, allowing parents and carers to safely and conveniently drop off and collect children from our nursery buildings.
