The Childcare Hub is Kids Play’s dedicated setting for nature-based play, designed to help children build strong connections with the natural world. All rooms offer free-flow access to woodland gardens, allowing children to move seamlessly between indoor and outdoor environments.
The setting provides care for children aged from 6 months to 5 years and also operates a holiday club for primary school-aged children. A wide range of resources supports every stage of development, from babies exploring natural wooden toys to toddlers enjoying water and creative play. Pre-school children benefit from Forest School activities and storytelling sessions held in the Hobbit House.
To encourage responsibility and care for living things, each room is home to small animals such as fish, hamsters, stick insects, and giant land snails. The Animal Care Hub, located at the centre of the gardens, is home to rabbits, guinea pigs, and chickens, with pygmy goats joining soon.
Sustainability and environmental awareness are key focuses of the setting. Children plant and care for vegetables and herbs in the roof garden, later using their harvest to make pizzas cooked in the outdoor pizza oven.
Practitioners build on children’s natural interests, turning everyday play into meaningful learning experiences. Children also enjoy exploring the gardens, taking part in weekly music, movement, and yoga sessions, regular visits to the Animal Care Hub, and Forest School activities such as den building, tree climbing, and nature exploration.

My son has attended this new pre-school premises for coming up to nearly a year now - it recently split the pre-school age groups into two so any children going to school this September are grouped together-this move really showed my son's progress and development as activities are more focused to getting ready for school. His mark making has really come along and he has always loved books but he can write his name clearly now and recognise letters and begun to read basic books. Jan 18 saw the start of forest schools in the programme too and he really loves this - the facilities are excellent and they have new minibuses to take children off-site to other places to do forest schools further afield too. The communication through the learning diary is really useful too - it keeps me up to date and shows how he has developed and what he has been up to.
Amazing experience, would highly recommend.

Any parent is nervous about leaving their child but they put me at ease and I've seen my children benefit from all the activities.
It's a great mix of play based learning, using the child's interests creative activities and fun. Great outdoor space (with an upgraded nursery being built to open Summer 2017). It's a very friendly, relaxed atmosphere but with good routines and structure.
Good variety of healthy meals, it's a really positive environment where your child is developed, individually known and build great relationships.
My daughter loves going to this nursery. She talks about it all weekend and skips in each morning. We even have to pick her up later than we could to avoid tears if she has to leave earlier than her friends. They do so many activities and learn so much, far more than I ever could at home. I feel...
My daughter loves going to this nursery. She talks about it all weekend and skips in each morning. We even have to pick her up later than we could to avoid tears if she has to leave earlier than her friends. They do so many activities and learn so much, far more than I ever could at home. I feel she's being prepared well for the eventual transition into preschool and school. The staff are fantastic - there is a very low turnover and the kids love them.
Excellent. My daughter is doing extremely well at the nursery. Staff are all excellent and very informative. She has a varied day with lots of different activities.

My daughter really enjoys attending nursery here. She gets excited when she realises where she is. She is 2 years old. She has really improved with her social skills and communication since attending here. The staff are really friendly, helpful and understanding. My daughter always comes home tired and stuffed from all the activities and food she gets at nursery. It really is a good nursery.
Both my children (1 and 4) love their nursery and their teachers. They do lots of activities each day and the menu is varied and always goes down well. Very impressed with the facilities and staff.

I am so happy with everything about this nursery. The staff are all professional, friendly and put my mind at rest as I leave my son in their care. The ILD Portal is fab and the work and details the ladies put on my son's record is fantastic. Thank you, I will always recommend.

I love the nursery and all the staff working in it, they are loving and caring. Also, I love the way they organise the sessions and look after every child given their aptitudes and preferences. I trust in them and that is something really important for a parent when leaving their child in a nursery.

My son is attending Knowlhill Day Nursery & Education Unit He is very happy there, all the teachers are always very nice and my son gets on with them very well. My son's speech is a bit delayed and English is not his first language, but the teachers are very understanding and supportive. He has developed a lot in there. They sing a lot, have plenty of activities, do loads of experiments. It's a lovely place.
I have also been impressed with the activities developed for the children and the level of care provided.
