About this employer
SpectacularKidz Barking nursery runs from a refurbished built premise situated in the Thames view Estate of Barking and Dagenham. Our Barking centre is a full day nursery and we run flexible sessional sessions as well. We cater for children from ages 3 months to 5 years. The rooms are clean and bright, and each has colourful fittings that stimulate young children and promote learning. It is designed with clearly defined areas of learning both in the baby and preschool rooms. We emphasis greatly on using natural objects and materials in our play with the children i.e. oats, pasta, baked beans, sand, soil, water, rice oil in sensory play for all the children. In our home corner, we introduce real food i.e. fruits and vegetables which helps develop children’s interest and understanding about their environment and community. The nursery layout has been thoughtfully planned to provide the safest and most secure environment possible. The premises are designed to meet the various needs of the children and staff.
