Kiddie Capers Nursery & Preschool Ardingly

Kiddie Capers Ardingly is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted and provides stimulating and enabling environments for children aged 0-5 years old. We are a 50-place sole use setting located on the South of England Show ground. A unique rural location providing year-round attraction for the children to experience, such as farm animals, horses, sports cars, monster trucks, helicopters and much more.

The Nursery benefits from two sensory rooms filled with exciting tactile toys for the children to explore and develop their senses. The light table, sensory tube and large ball pool are favourites amongst the children.  We also have a dedicated sleep room where the children can take their naps listening to relaxing music.

With an abundance of outside space to explore, children participate in regular trips into the woods for our forest school sessions. We create strong links with the community by visiting the local village of Ardingly, spending time in the park and getting treats from the bakery.

Aligned with our dedication to quality education, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. Our experienced staff members create stimulating activities that cater to each child’s unique needs, promoting their holistic growth across various areas of development. By incorporating play-based learning, social interaction, and structured routines, we ensure that children receive a well-rounded educational experience.
