Dedicated Team
Kids Capers Day Nursery was established in the year 2000 by the current owner, Sharon, who is passionate about providing children with a friendly and stimulating, home from home learning environment in which children feel safe, loved, and valued.
Sharon holds a BA Honours degree in Childhood Studies and Early Years Teachers Status and has the support of her team of highly trained professionals who hold early years qualifications starting at Level 2 through to Level 5 and BA Honours degrees. As well, through the Apprenticeship training programme, we train unqualified staff of all ages. Each room has an appointed room leader who is experienced within the age group they work closest to.
The nursery is run by the Nursery Manager with the support of the Deputy Manager. They support the whole team and work simultaneously to ensure the highest quality of care is delivered to all our children and families.
Our enthusiastic and dedicated team of practitioners work together across all aspects of the nursery, supporting and mentoring each other. They have been chosen for their ability to provide the highest standards of care to each baby and child in their supervision, and their commitment to delivering an excellent service to the families who come to us. More so, they are committed to providing a warm and inclusive environment where children can develop their individuality and potential.
Together, we have many years of experience in nurturing young minds and delivering creative and stimulating learning experiences.

"The management team is highly reflective. They are committed to continuously developing the provision and improving the quality of care and education. Managers plan staff development days, focusing on different topics to improve practice. They meet with staff regularly and provide them with a variety of training opportunities. For example, staff have attended Makaton training and are beginning to use this across the nursery to support children's communication and language skills. Staff feel well supported within the setting and praise the management team"
