Kido is a place where innovation and imagination unite to create modern Early Years settings. We are international, with nurseries in India, USA and the UK. In the UK we run 13 (soon to be 14!) Ofsted rated Good and Outstanding nurseries in and around London. We blend the best practices from the Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf Steiner approaches. This magical fusion, combined with state-of-the-art learning spaces and 21st-century technology, brings a whole new level of wonder to early years education at Kido. Our purpose is to reimagine early years and what excellence really means in our nurseries and for our people. Every Kido nursery is unique, and every Nursery Manager has the freedom to shape their nursery and showcase their passions. Take Golders Green for example, where our wonderful Nursery Manager Gail opens the door to a realm of magical and captivating stories which really showcases her dedication to literacy in early years. Or Wandsworth, where Manager Shaddiya is keen to provide as many hands-on learning experiences as possible through explorer days, unlocking a world of endless possibilities for the children. We’re super passionate about developing our team members to be the best that they can be. Whether you’re starting an apprenticeship with us to get qualified, or are ready to take the next steps into management, we are here to support your ambitions. Perhaps you’ll even join the hub team one day working in marketing, finance, training, people, or operations. Join us and who knows, you might pioneer a role we never even imagined!
