Meet Peace, Level 2 Early Years Educator at Kido Golders Green Road ๐
"I have just passed my level 2 Apprenticeship and I'm looking forward to starting my level 3 soon with Kido! Early years education is so important because it lays the foundation for a child's future. It's amazing to be a part of shaping those early experiences. I'm really proud of being able to support and nurture young children as they grow and learn. It's a rewarding feeling.
My career goal is to continue making a positive impact on children's lives and maybe even explore new opportunities in the education field. The Kido curriculum is awesome because it is designed to be engaging, interactive, and really focuses on holistic development. It's all about creating a well-rounded learning experience for the children!" ๐

At Kido Golders Green Road, Apprentice Peace uses our Kido mascots during circle time ๐

At Kido Golders Green Road KidAktive visits each Wednesday to do a 30-minute exercise session with the Adventurers, Experimenters and Pathfinders and even some of the Discovers room ๐
The sessions starts with a warm-up, gets the hearts racing with cardio, and finishes with a cool-down. These sessions help children learn about different body parts and muscles while using their imagination. Last time, they "boarded the train" and travelled around the world doing various exercises ๐๐
At the end of each session, the children celebrate their hard work and receive animal stamps for their efforts! ๐พ

We're celebrating our Head of Training and Quality, Tez Razzaq who is celebrating their 5-year work anniversary at Kido! ๐
"When I joined Kido we had 4 branches in the UK. It's been a remarkable and rewarding journey to see our growth to 15 nurseries and counting! In 2022 I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl. Coming back to work after maternity leave I was worried about work-life balance but I was overwhelmed with the support I received from both COO's Catherine and Emma who I am truly grateful to. I was able to come back full-time due to the amazing childcare and employee benefits Kรฏdo offer and my daughter even attends one of our nurseries where she is thriving. Kido isnโt just work itโs my home." ๐
Tez and her team are there for all our nursery teams to enable them to build confidence and create a culture of continuous learning through the training and mentoring they provide. Our training offer includes on-the-job, face-to-face, and virtual to cater to everyone's unique learning styles ๐ก

Well done to Narinder, one of our brilliant Deputy Manager's who has passed her SENCo qualification ๐
Supporting children with special educational needs takes a range of specialist skills as well as a caring, adaptable and patient approach
"I am fortunate to have been given a great opportunity by Kido to study with Best Practice Network for my SENCo qualification. Despite working full-time, I managed to complete my course before the deadline. I quickly found valuable information that has proved useful in my work. Since becoming qualified, I have acquired a wealth of knowledge that I am implementing in my role and at our nursery Kido Bethnal Green" ๐
