About Our Nursery
Our Approach
At Kiddi Caru Crews Hole, we follow a child centred curriculum rooted in the Curiosity Approach, encouraging children to explore, investigate and learn through play. Our programme includes themed activities such as Make & Bake, Move & Groove, Innovate & Investigate, Sow & Grow and Health & Self to nurture creativity, confidence and a love of learning.
Our Location
Located at 261 Crews Hole Road, St George, Bristol, BS5 8BE, our nursery sits at the base of Troopers Hill Nature Reserve, providing a calm, nature rich setting for outdoor play and exploration. It’s easily accessible from all parts of Bristol with good links to the city centre.
Our Team
Our experienced, dedicated team provide high quality care and education. Each child is supported by a key worker who builds a strong bond, helping children feel secure and confident. Our SENCo ensures tailored support for individual needs so every child can thrive.
Facilities
The nursery is spread over two welcoming floors with bright, well resourced playrooms designed for all stages of early years. Outdoor spaces include a secure courtyard and a large garden with views of nature, giving children plenty of room to develop gross motor skills and enjoy outdoor learning.
Activities
Children enjoy a range of engaging activities that support developmental milestones. Sessions such as Sing and Sign help build communication skills, while Boogie Mites combines music, movement and play to encourage confidence, coordination and physical development.
Community Outings
We promote community connection and confidence through regular outings, including visits to local greenspaces and monthly trips to a care home where children interact with older residents, fostering empathy and intergenerational friendships.
