One year ago, SADCO Nursery Group began an exciting new chapter with Poppins Kindergarten and what a journey it has been! 🎉

Over the past 12 months, we’ve worked tirelessly to transform our setting, and we are thrilled that our renovations are on the road to completion. We cannot wait to return to our beautiful, refreshed environment in the coming weeks ready to welcome our children and families back into a space designed with them at heart.

This year has been about so much more than bricks and mortar. We’ve built a passionate, dedicated team who share a vision for excellence, and we’ve invested in ongoing training and development to ensure the highest quality of care and education for every child.

We are also incredibly proud of the strong connections we’ve formed within our local community, as well as the meaningful relationships we’ve developed with our children and their families. These partnerships are at the heart of everything we do.

As we celebrate this milestone, we look ahead with excitement and ambition continuing to grow, improve, and provide a nurturing, inspiring environment where every child can thrive.

Thank you for welcoming us into your community we couldn’t be prouder to be a part of Poppins ☂️

Here’s to the next chapter! 💫

Let there be light ☀️

We’re so excited about our brand new nursery windows! ☀️

They’ve completely transformed our playroom—filling the space with beautiful natural light and making it feel even more warm, open, and inviting for the little ones. It’s amazing what a difference a bit of sunshine can make!

We can’t wait for the children to enjoy a brighter, happier space to learn and play 🌈
