Expansion for kidsunlimited

kidsunlimited Kingston will be housed in a four-storey former doctor’s surgery, which has been converted into a 73-place nursery.

kidsunlimited was established in 1983 and is owned and managed by Bright Horizons, which acquired the chain in April last year.

The Kingston setting will be the 63^rd setting run under the kidsunlimited brand.

Located a short walk away from Kingston train station and providing drop-off car parking spaces, the nursery will be primarily marketed towards working parents commuting in to London.

The official opening of the nursery will be held on 27 May, following six months of planning and 14 months of construction work costing more than £1 million.

The nursery features a large outdoor space for children of all ages, with an observation tower and lookout point, den, beach environment and small stream. Inside, children will be cared for in one of the two baby rooms, three toddler rooms or pre-school room.

The setting will employ an on-site chef and will provide menus created by a nutritionist.

The nursery will be managed by Naomi Manunta, who has worked as deputy manager of the group’s Church Crookham setting for over three years.

Ms Manunta said, ‘I am really excited to be transferring over to our new Kingston nursery, which has been developed using over 30 years of experience. As a nursery team we are looking forward to bringing our knowledge and skills into the setting in order to create an environment where children can flourish and naturally love learning forever.’
