About Super Kiddies Daycare LTD

At Super Kiddies, our environments are changed constantly to ensure it is exciting and awe inspiring for our children, but we have also created environments in which the children can focus and promote their emotional wellbeing. With light airy spaces, filled with homely objects, natural calming colours and access to the outdoors. The environment is much more than furniture and toys.  We believe that the earliest experiences can shape a child’s early education. And those memories which are fun and child-led are often what we remember of our own childhood. At Super Kiddies we strive to make those memories, children are encouraged to shape their own play, and with the staff knowledge and environments reflecting the children’s interests. The children’s learning is strengthened, the child feels valued, and they build a strong base for further education.  The environments are a warm and friendly space where the children are confident to explore with their hands and feet. It’s a creative space where children are encouraged to be independent learners. They can have fun, play talk and learn together. But its also a space where the children can just ‘be’ in the calm spaces. Discovering their own self-reflection, which is essential for strengthening their emotional mind. Our environment is a place where children develop into happy, healthy and independent individuals.
