We like happy children at the end of every day
We like to make sure that days at Red Kite Nursery are fulfilling and enjoyable for all children.
We are a patient, loving and encouraging team who have worked at the nursery collectively for more then 80 years. We pride ourselves on the love and care we give our children, nurturing their progress and encouraging them to reach their full potential. As parents ourselves with children growing up we have ample experience in what is expected and required as parents and we are able to understand parents feeling as well as the children’s.
Dedicated classrooms with a friendly & caring team
A stimulating and educational environment for all children to play and develop to their full potential
We love working with children. We are experienced in childcare and enjoy working with both children and their families. Working with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) allows us to create individual experiences and be responsive to the children’s needs. This allows them to reach out to interact with other people, and the world around them.
You're welcome to come and visit us anytime We can show you around & answer any questions you may have.
Our son has been at Red Kite from Hedgehogs.
During that time we have been extremely happy with the care and service we have received.
Our son has thrived in the environment and has benefitted hugely from the care and support at Red Kite.He has been lucky enough to experience various different visits such as fire engines, motorbikes, football, petting farms and painting providers.He is always happy to go to nursery and excited to tell us about his day.The setting is always clean and tidy and we are kept well informed of updates and any changes to the nursery such as staff movements, menu changes, billings and activities.We would not hesitate to recommend Red Kite to anyone and are so happy Our son will be here until he starts school.

We would like to write a testimonial to share our extremely positive experience of Red Kite Nursery and the day care you provide for our son. Since he first started with settling sessions (which were flexible, informative and helpful) his love for the nursery and all of its staff has only grown, and as his parents we are very happy with our experience too.His development has flourished, and the regular updates you share with us are both helpful and appreciated. It is clear that our son gets the care and attention he needs and he is always very enthusiastic when we chat about nursery at home in general.The extra activities, open events and fun days etc you provide are another reason why we love Red Kite and are very pleased that we chose this nursery for him. Above all the staff at Red Kite make it a wonderful place.Thank You

The care and support we receive from Red Kite is outstanding, both of our children now attend and we love it!The different activities they provide including Spanish lessons, outside play, dressing up and developmental skills such as letters, numbers writing etc are spectacular! Our eldest can now write her name quite clearly!All of the team are beyond caring and the communication is great! They hold events for parents to meet and socialise and where children can show their nursery setting to us!We wouldn’t send our children anywhere else!
Thank you all!

Red Kite Nursery have been fantastic with our daughter and have gone above and beyond our expectations in terms of her care and development. Our daughter has special educational needs meaning she needs additional activities and therapies on a daily basis.All of the staff at Red Kite have been more than willing to incorporate all of her physio and speech and language therapy and targets into her daily room activities, including all of the other children in the activities as well. We have regular contact about her targets with them and they actively engage with her therapists from both the NHS and local charity specialists who are involved in her care and development to ensure that all of her targets are being worked on effectively.They report her activities and progress to us clearly so that we have a very good understanding of what they are doing and how well our daughter is progressing. They provide IPLs for her which we have input to and can update as often as we like, with the support of her therapists and the Red Kite SENCO.We are extremely grateful for all of the hard work and additional activities that the staff take on for our daughter and cannot emphasise enough the willingness they demonstrate to make sure that she is progressing as much as possible and making sure she has the support she needs.

Red Kite is a fantastic setting for children. They have different themes and subjects that they focus on every month.They always have different things happening and coming to nursery. My little girl especially loved it when the firefighters came for a visit. She is absolutely thriving at Red Kite and loves going to nursery.

My daughter absolutely loves coming to Red Kite and since day one has felt safe and happy with all of the staff at Red Kite, as have we as parents.Since joining Red Kite we have seen her really develop as an individual and in particular her social and emotional development has been brilliant to see. When we see her interact with her friends who are not at nursery there is a clear distinction in the different skill sets.The daily tapestry updates that are provided on the activities she has completed are great. It provides us as parents with an insight into what she has been up to and allows us to discuss her day with her. The range of activities Red Kite provide are brilliant and second to none. For example, outdoor obstacle courses, going for walks round the grounds, painting, story time and themed play sessions. In addition to this we really liked the social environment that Red Kite creates for families, for example the pizza and prosecco evenings, father’s day pizzas and the Christmas nativity at the local church.Sending our daughter to Red Kite was one of the best decisions we have made. Red Kite have the best staff by a country mile!Thank you for everything you do.

We send our daughter to Red Kite Nursery, and the staff are outstanding. There is a wide range of activities and exposure for development - such as the recent people who help us days. We can see the development that comes from this in what she tells us about the world around her (pointing to pictures of doctors for example, and saying that they help people).We also are kept up to date on everything we need to know, with observations, care diaries and reports. And it is clear that she has formed a good bond with a number of staff, and is encouraged in making friends with other children.We view the nursery and its staff to be incredible and are very happy that she attends here.

Both our children have attended Red Kite Nursery over the past 6 years and we feel so fortunate for this. Through the different class stages staff are always so nurturing, calm, fun, kind and understanding. Our daughter needed some extra support with toilet training and they always have been so patient and encouraging with this, helping her to feel comfortable and develop these skills. My daughter has so much fun at nursery and is excited going in and happy chattering about her day. She does a range of activities supporting her development and interests and can't wait to tell us about them. Red Kite also put on exciting activities, visiting the care home, a farm visiting, the fire truck, a colour run and much more. My daughter currently sings lots of Spanish songs and words from the sessions they brought in and is continuing the classes there. We couldn't ask for more from a nursery. All the staff are so warm and wonderful and we can't thank them enough. Management are well organised and very approachable and keen to help.
