About Us

Everything you need to know about our history, our staff and the way we work.


 

OUR HISTORY

Our aim is to create a pre-school nursery that exceeds customer expectationsKidz Kabin came into being in 1996.  Owner Linda Symons, had just had her second child and was searching for a childcare service that would allow her to go back to work in the Catering business she had been running for 12 years. Like all parents returning to work, she needed to find a childcare service that would provide the peace of mind that comes from knowing  that your child will be happy and nurtured in a safe and caring environment.  Muswell Hill just couldn’t provide such a service.  So Linda decided to start her own.  Kidz Kabin was born. 

Over the years Kidz Kabin has become synonymous with stimulating and innovative childcare and the business has expanded dramatically from taking care of 6 children at any one time to 18 children.We value each child as an individual and help them fulfil their own potential

Due to popular demand and pressure from parents to provide more and more places, Linda has decided to expand her business into a full-time Day Nursery.

The new purpose-designed Kidz Kabin Nursery will open at Pembroke Studios, Pembroke Road, London  N10 2JE in September 2011.  In its first year it will accommodate 50 children, rising by 25% each year until the full potential of 80 children is reached.

Taking Care Of Kidz From Babies To Primary School

Kidz Kabin caters for children of all ages from 0 – 5 years.  It  offers working parents a complete service that starts soon after a  baby is born, with visits to our Health Clinic, progresses to a  weekly Baby and Parent Group,  where parents can meet other parents and see the nursery in operation.   Then, once a child is registered, Kidz Kabin facilities are on offer  five days a week, from 7:30 am – 6:30pm,  until the child goes to primary school.   Parents can choose days and times to suit their busy schedules.

After School Club

In cases where a younger brother or sister attends the nursery, we offer an After School Club to children who have left the nursery to go to school.  This allows a child to return to a familiar environment  at the end of a school day and makes life easier for parents who can collect both their baby/toddler and school child from the same place after work.

THE WAY WE WORK

The Kidz Kabin Game Plan

The Kidz Kabin work ethos is based on the guidelines set down in the Early Years Foundation Stage which are designed to help every child achieve the 5 Every Child Matters outcomes:

5 steps of the Early Years Foundation
1 To be Healthy
2 To Stay Safe
3 To Enjoy and achieve
4 Make a positive contribution
5 Develop skills for the future

 

We value children as individuals and help them to achieve their own potential.  We provide a wide range of interesting resources and encourage children to explore and develop at their own pace.  Kidz Kabin staff interact with children throughout the day, helping them to develop positive attitudes to  learning and discouraging any bad behaviour.

Our child to staff ratio is based on Early Years Foundation Stage Guidelines:

Staff to child ration based on Early Years Foundation Guidelines

Key staff working with small groups of children are very effective at building confidence levels and helping children to feel safe and cared for.  We often observe very young children who cry when they leave their parent on arrival at nursery, warm visibly to the gentle care and nurturing of their key person.

Although she heads the team of nursery staff, Linda is very much”hands on” and delights in watching the children develop into unique little people.
