Employer Description:
Munchkins Kindergarten Ltd opened in August 2007 as a Children's Day Nursery in Spalding and offers a high level of quality in childcare. Situated in Spalding Town Centre it is a small, friendly Nursery with places for children aged 6 weeks to 3 years old. All of our rooms are designed to support the EYFS. Our baby and toddler rooms are set out in a “home from home” environment with a wide range of age appropriate equipment and resources. In October 2010 we opened our brand new setting for children aged 3 – 5 years, next door to the existing nursery. The building consists of 2 floors, with a large space downstairs where we provide a wide range of facilities and activities to promote learning and development, in order for the children to enjoy and achieve at their own, individual pace. Upstairs offers a quiet and calming atmosphere for the children to relax and enjoy quieter activities such as storytime.
