Our Little Kidz

Our children’s nursery is open from 7:30am – 6:15pm Monday through to Friday all year round (with the exception of bank holidays and specified days at Christmas). We offer both full and part-time vacancies on a weekly basis.

We also operate an open door policy where we encourage parents to come and visit the nursery at any time convenient to you.

We are registered with the Western Health and Social Care Trust and cater for up to 57 children. We cater to parents on the Waterside and in Eglinton and Limavady.

The security and safety your child needs

The safety of our children is paramount and we operate a range of procedures, including a fingerprint system, to ensure access to the nursery is restricted to staff and parents.

Rooms that work perfectly

Our Montessori materials are carefully integrated into everyday activities and cover Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language and Culture Skills. We also have a large safe and secure outdoor area where the children enjoy outside play whenever possible.

Dedicated staff for your peace of mind

All our staff are qualified to NVQ Level 3 or degree level and each staff member is Access NI Checked and cleared to work by the Western Health & Social Services Team – without exception. We have dedicated Paediatric First Aiders and qualified Child Protection Officers on duty all the times.

Nutritious and healthy food at all times served in our dining room

At Kidz Montessori Day Nursery, all our meals are prepared and cooked daily on the premises by our fully qualified cook, Rosemary. Our menus are varied in order to encourage the children to try different foods and broaden their tastes.

Our meals are no ordinary meals:

  • All of our meals are freshly prepared using local produce, and reflect our healthy eating ethos. Your child will love the social aspect to dining, as well as learning to make the right choices and to feed themselves. A healthy breakfast, hot lunch and light afternoon snack are all provided.
  • Healthy eating habits: We believe in encouraging healthy eating habits from a young age therefore we have devised our meals in a structure that supports healthy eating schemes and provides children with a well balanced diet.
  • Learning while growing:  Mealtimes should be happy, social occasions where children learn good table manners and develop an understanding of the importance of healthy eating. Staff members sit with the children during mealtimes and encourage the children to develop independence through making choices, including pouring their own drinks and feeding themselves.
  • How it works: Fresh chilled water is available to the children throughout the day and children are given a wide range of fruit via our rolling snack times.
  • We offer the children a selection of cereals, toast, breakfast juice and a healthy freshly cooked hot lunch as well as an afternoon snack (sandwiches, homemade banana bread, rice pudding, carrot cake etc).
