Welcome to Kiddington Kindergarten, Nursery School.

Kiddington Kindergarten is an independent nursery school situated in the most beautiful Cotswold countryside. The nursery accommodates pre-school children from two to five years of age in the old village primary school. It is about four miles north of Woodstock and within easy reach of Charlbury, Combe, Enstone and Oxford.

Kiddington Kindergarten is a unique and special setting. All our visitors "fall in love" with the nursery. Some parents travel many miles but they all say it is worth the journey.

In this idyllic setting, our experienced staff of teachers and nursery nurses are totally committed to planning and providing learning opportunities through the medium of play. Play underpins the whole curriculum and is central to the teaching and learning ethos of the nursery.

We have a large garden and children have access to this in all weathers. Staff ensure that the activities on offer, both outside and inside are well planned and provide a rich learning environment which covers all the areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

When children are ready, they begin to experiment with phonics and most are familiar with letter sounds and recognise letter shapes. Some children are competent readers by the time they leave.

We have an excellent Music Specialist who comes to the nursery each week. Children enjoy using instruments and singing and begin to develop an understanding of rhythm and sound patterns.
