Overview

About Gedling

Exploring nature is part of the day at Kids Planet Gedling, beside Gedling House Woods. Our quiet, rural setting has spacious, light-filled rooms, with gardens and local woodland for children to explore. Daily Forest School-style sessions include den building and supervised use of tools and fire.

Our team helps your child notice seasonal changes and investigate through practical experiences. We adapt activities for children with additional needs so they can take part in ways that suit them. Regular time in these surroundings lets children return to the things that interest them and see how they change through the seasons.

    Manager

    I have been working in the childcare sector for over 15 years and I have loved every moment. I have been working within the company for 5 years and share my passion for early years education with anyone I can, it is a true privilege to be part of a child's formative years and to give them the tools they need to succeed. Within my training I have been fortunate to travel to Italy and study the Reggio Emilia approach which I have since introduced to this nursery. Giving children the opportunities to lead their own play and provide experiences which grow and build upon their ideas is extremely rewarding and it is woven through our setting each and every day. As a manager it is deeply important to me that I get to know all of the children and you will often find me building obstacle courses in the garden, playing with puppets or getting stuck in with clay!
