I am one of the founding partners of The Kid Company.  I have been lucky enough to watch the nursery grow and flourish over the past 12 years. I have 2 young children who both formerly attended TKC, prior to starting school.  What my children loved about TKC was playing outside, looking for bugs and getting muddy! We have wonderful outdoor spaces at both settings, which allows the opportunity to use the great outdoors to our advantage and explore in completely natural surroundings in rain or shine! I love seeing the staff engaging with the children outside, we have so much fun!
