Carol’s Kidz Care: Quality Childcare You Can Trust
Carol’s Kidz Care provides exceptional childcare for children from birth to 12 years old. Open year-round, we operate Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM at our Bedlington Station location. Our team of fully trained and dedicated staff collaborates closely with parents, guardians, and other professionals to meet your child’s developmental needs, ensuring they are prepared for the challenges ahead.
Nutritious Meals, Cooked Onsite
We prepare all meals on-site, featuring warm, cooked dishes and plenty of fresh fruit throughout the day. By including nutritious meals as part of our childcare services, we aim to ease the load for
busy parents, allowing you to focus on quality time with your child at the end of the day.
Supporting Every Child’s Development
Aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework, we cater to the learning and developmental needs of children aged birth to five. Additionally, our team is trained to care
for children with additional needs, and we have access to facilities to support them. As a multicultural nursery, we proudly celebrate diverse festivals, from Diwali to Eid, creating an inclusive
environment where every child feels valued.
Keeping Parents Informed
For babies and younger children, we maintain daily diaries to keep parents updated on their child’s activities. We also provide parents with access to their child’s records at any time.
Engaging Activities and Outdoor Play
Our days are filled with stimulating activities, including modeling play dough, exploring “gloop” (a fascinating mixture of cornstarch and water), chalking, planting flowers, and observing the
butterfly lifecycle. Outdoor play is encouraged in our secure double-fenced yard, featuring a playhouse for role play and imaginative adventures.
Flexible Childcare Options
We offer childcare from a minimum of 4 hours to full days, all at competitive childminding rates. As an Ofsted-registered provider, we can assist families eligible for tax credits. Younger children
are welcome to attend a one-hour taster session to ensure they settle comfortably, while older children often dive straight into the fun!
A Home-Away-From-Home Environment
At Carol’s Kidz Care, we work closely with parents to maintain consistent routines and provide a seamless transition between home and childcare. We value the relationships we build with families and
are always available to offer advice and support. Trusting us with the care of your precious child is a responsibility we take to heart.
Our motto, “Because We Care,” reflects our genuine love and dedication to every child in our care. Feel free to visit us anytime – we’d be delighted to meet you and show you what makes Carol’s Kidz Care so special.
The Story of Carol’s Kidz Care
Carol’s Kidz Care began as a childminding business in 2011, driven by a passion for providing flexible, high-quality childcare. Due to increasing demand, we expanded to our current larger premises at 20 School Road, Bedlington. On April 21, 2021, our nursery was officially opened by MP Ian Lavery alongside the Local Parish Council, marking a proud milestone in our journey. Just a few days later, on May 1, 2021, we welcomed our first families, and our commitment to excellence was recognized by Ofsted with a “Good” rating.
With over 20 years of experience in construction, I struggled to find childcare that truly met my needs as a parent. This inspired me to change career paths, dedicating myself to creating a space where children are cared for in a way that balances their developmental needs with the realities of busy family lives. Through extensive training and education, I established a childminding business that quickly grew into what is now Carol’s Kidz Care.
Today, with the support of my incredible team, we provide a warm, loving, and home-away-from-home environment where children can thrive and parents can feel at ease. At CKC, we aim to meet the needs of not only the children but also their families, ensuring every day is enriching and rewarding for all." – Carol
