Your Nursery Manager
“Hi, my name is Kay and I’m the Nursery Manager here at Kids Play Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery & Pre-School.
I have XX years experience in childcare and have a Level x in childcare, along with being a SEN and designated safeguard officer.
It is such a pleasure to be Nursery Manager of this fantastic setting. Our Day Nursery & Pre-School is for babies from 6 weeks old up to 5 years of age. However, we do also offer wraparound care for children up to 12 years of age.
Our setting has an emphasis on nature-based learning. Our designated age appropriate rooms allow children to freely move indoors and outdoors, where they’ll be exposed to an abundance of nature based experiences, using natural resources, such as mud kitchens, sand and water play and ‘real’ vegetables for play kitchens. One of our teaching approaches is ‘Planning in the Moment’, where children’s interests are turned into learning experiences. Click Here to download our free eBook about the approach.
If you would like your child to attend our Day Nursery & Pre-School you can download our registration form here. Once completed please send onto vickiwillis@kidsplaychildcare.co.uk

Rich Learning Environment for all ages
Nature based play grows confidence, social skills and self esteem.

About Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery & Pre-School
At Kids Play our Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery & Pre-School, is open Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 6:30pm, for children from 6 weeks to 5 years.
With an emphasis on nature-based play, The Nursery and Pre-School rooms allow children to freely move indoors and out. Outdoors children can choose from an abundance of activities including water and sand play, the growing patch and even a mud kitchen. Whilst indoors, they use natural wooden toys and ‘real’ vegetables in the play kitchens.
We believe in making learning fun. Using “planning in the moment” teaching, every activity is turned into a learning opportunity.
We also believe it’s vital for children to have external influences. Weekly, a football coach visits for Mini Striker sessions and we regularly take children out in small groups to visit the shops, post office and have even been to visit the vets.
All our food is freshly cooked onsite, our menus are prepared by a nutritionist and all our meat produce adheres to the Red Tractor food standards.
Working with parents and carers
To help build strong relationships with you and your child, you will have a designated key person at Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery and Pre-School.
In between formal reviews, they will provide your daily updates. Our formal reviews tracking your child’s development, happen monthly in the baby room, every 5 weeks in the Toddler Room and every 10 weeks in the Pre-School room.
Should your child require additional support for special education needs, disabilities or speak English as a second language, please ask how the team can help.
We also accommodate the 15 and 30 government grants.
