Nutritional Approach

We believe food is fundamental to healthy growth, happy minds, and positive lifelong habits. In the earliest years, what children eat shapes taste preferences, supports brain development, and lays the foundations for long-term health.

All meals are freshly prepared on site each day using quality, seasonal ingredients. Our menus are developed with expert guidance, designed for inclusion, and go beyond Early Years Foundation Stage requirements. We want every child to become a confident, curious eater.

Meet Our Nursery Manager

Shankeetha Kanesalingam

Hello, I'm Shankeetha. I joined The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School in July 2024 as deputy manager and in May 2025 stepped into my current role as nursery manager. I have been working in childcare for over eight years and hold a BA in Early Years Education.

What I truly love about working in childcare is being part of each child's learning journey, from their very first steps into nursery life to developing the independence and confidence they will carry with them into school and beyond. Seeing children thrive, explore and grow brings me so much joy.

One of the things I love most about my job is working alongside such a passionate and dedicated team, as well as building strong partnerships with families. It is a real privilege to lead this nursery. What makes us so special is the caring community we have built, one where children are truly at the heart of everything we do.

Our Commitments

Our curriculum is built around five core commitments that guide how we nurture every child.

Critical And Creative Thinkers

Nurturing curiosity and confidence to imagine, test ideas, and solve problems through exploration.

Sense of Belonging

Building secure, trusting relationships so every child feels safe, valued, and confident.

Explorers of Our World

Connecting children to nature through outdoor experiences that build resilience and independence.

Confident Communicators

Supporting every child to express themselves in ways that are meaningful to them.

Happy and Healthy

Encouraging physical activity, healthy eating, and joyful experiences that support lifelong wellbeing.

Our Curriculum

Our nursery curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support the holistic development of every child, with a strong focus on independence, empathy, teamwork and mindfulness.

We believe these core values lay the foundation for confident, kind and capable learners.

Through this balanced and child-centred approach, our curriculum nurtures confident, caring and thoughtful individuals who are well prepared for the next stage of their learning journey.

We are delighted with The Beaconsfield Nursery. Our 3yo has come on so much with development, and is incredibly happy. He loves coming to nursery and has made wonderful friends. The staff are amazing; we are kept well informed about the day and overall development. It is a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere - I cannot recommend it enough.

We have had 3 children at this nursery and we honestly could not be more pleased. The nursery is very well organised and the staff are wonderful, very caring with the children and very helpful towards the parents. We have loved seeing out children grow and develop and become ready for school (one has now started at school, the other 2 will be staring over the next two years). The nursery prepares them well and we honestly could not recommend this nursery enough!

We came for a Halloween stay and play which was fun and really showed how much the practitioners care for the children. The nursery is a really great nurturing environment for the children and promotes great interpersonal skills and sharing. The focus on manners and kindness is great to see.

We have had a brilliant experience at the nursery with both of our girls. They have been well-looked after and thriving in so many areas. Each of the staff know our youngest incredibly well: we are kept up to date on her development and next steps. We feel very lucky with the experience we have had over the last 5 years.

Our 2 boys absolutely loved their time at the Beaconsfield Day Nursery and we couldn't have been happier as parents! The staff are so lovely, friendly and have a genuine care for the children. They also regularly go above and beyond the day to day, hosting fabulous events which parents can attend and really feel involved in the nursery and their kids' experience there. Thank you for everything and we couldn't recommend them more!

My son started in May 25 and we be leaving this summer to start school. I have nothing but positive things to say about the nursery, staff and support we have both received. We have had a traumatic past 12 months and the staff have gone above beyond to make sure he is happy and progressing well in his early years. He has come on so much since he started and grown in confidence every day. I am sad it's has come to the end of his time at nursery.

We are really happy with the nursery and to see how much progress he is making. He has a good bond with his keyworker and other staff in toddler room. He comes home happy saying the practitioner names. We are really happy with the care given to our child.

Review of The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School

Under the manager's leadership, the nursery became a fantastic environment for my eldest child. She's loved every minute and still talks about all her experiences. The staff, especially her key person, has made a lasting impression on her. I've even had to cook like the chef or the food will not be eaten at home! With its Good Ofsted rating recently, I am sure the nursery will continue to provide such a wonderful experience for other children. Thank you for everything you have done for our eldest. We look forward to seeing our little girl thrive with you in September 2025 when she joins the nursery family!

Our daughters both absolutely love coming to nursery.

We've been impressed with the changes the manager has made in the last year and feel our daughters will be well prepared to leave for school.

My son started preschool at The Beaconsfield Day Nursery and Preschool last month and the staff have been so welcoming and supportive to my son and our family. My son has settled quickly and often says how much he loves preschool and the staff members. It's a wonderful free and friendly setting with room for my son to be himself and grow. We're so grateful to be able to send him there.

Our daughter has recently joined and she loves it! She is excited to be dropped off and I can tell she is thoroughly enjoying herself! The staff are amazing, extremely caring and always provide a detailed review at the end of each day. There are lots of different activities each day which I can tell she loves as she is always exhausted and sleeps a lot better at night! As she is with older babies her skills are dramatically improving and my husband and I are noticing a huge difference! Thank you and we would highly recommend this nursery.

Review of The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School

The moment we stepped through the door, it was evident that this nursery prioritises not only the well-being of the children in their care but also their holistic development. One of their standout features is their exceptional chef, who goes above and beyond to ensure that every meal is delicious and nutritionally balanced plus their ability to adapt the menu on the fly, catering to all dietary needs is inspiring. The manager's attentiveness and genuine care shines through in every interaction. They go above and beyond to ensure that every child feels valued and supported in their journey and my little one absolutley adores them. But the aspect that resonates with us most is the emphasis on outdoor exploration and adventure. Their outdoor space is perfect for children to engage in active play. It's heartening to see them incorporate outdoor activities into their daily routine, recognising the value of these experiences – qualities that are overlooked in today's digital age.

Review of The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School

I couldn't be happier with a nursery for my son. As first-time parents, we wanted to make sure we had the right setting and went to lots. The manager was nothing but accomadating to all our requests and spent so much time answering all our questions and visits. She has a clear vision for the setting and it is truly an amazing place for our son to be where he is nurtured and educated. The manager's passion feeds through to the staff who have settled my son and loves going in every day. He comes home daily with new learning opportunities - from going to the park, on train rides, going to the old people's home and most recently an Easter Bonnet Parade, and has flourished in confidence. We really feel lucky to have found such a caring, outstanding 'home from home' setting where we know he is safe, happy and thrives. Thank you!

Just returned from a Family Fun Spring Play date with the family. I want to say how impressed I am with the nursery and how proud I am my grandchild has the opportunity to attend such a homely, well-run nursery with staff who care and nothing is too much trouble. The nursery manager is phenomenal, passionate, and friendly, which shows in the effort, organization, and turnout of the event.. nothing but positivity was heard all around from what was a well-attended event with over 100 there. The nursery is clean, well resourced and you can see how much the team takes a genuine interest. My grandchild loves going here and I can see why - I wish I could come to play every day!

Since day 1, my child has been so excited when he arrives at The Beaconsfield Day Nursery which as his dad, I find incredibly assuring. The staff all have their own bond with him which is amazing to see, so a personal thanks from me to everyone and a special mention to one staff member in particular who my child has a special smile for. He has developed so much in his short amount of time there so far, and the staff are always considerate of requests. Thanks again from me and my wife.

My son absolutely loves this nursery! He settled in well, the staff were very caring and welcoming, he has formed strong bonds with lots of the staff here and lovely budding friendships with the children. He loves getting stuck in messy activities and the outdoor space, especially the mud garden. There’s so much extracurricular stuff going on too! Such as yoga, French, baking and they take weekly walks to the local community!

If you are considering a nursery for your little ones to attend this one is absolutely amazing. My little girl has been going for just over a year now. She has learnt so much her confidence is booming. She absolutely loves it there and all the staff. I wish I could name them but I wouldn't want to leave anyone out. She learns so much through play. Their activities are second to none they are doing different things every day. They have a huge lovely garden. She even cooks, paints, draws, and so much more. To the staff I want to thank you so much you truly are amazing. They even have an app to keep you up to date with what they have been doing through the day and what they have eaten. It's a great nursery.

My 4 year old daughter has been attending this nursery since 2021 and is now in pre-school. I can honestly say that I am thrilled with the exceptional care and attention my daughter receives at the nursery and she is a happier, independent little girl because of it. In the last 6 months, the newly appointed manager has made a positive impact, not only on the amazing staff but also the relationship with the parents. It's obvious that the whole team care about the children and love their job. The dedicated management and staff have created a nurturing environment, fostering my daughter's growth and development. I am grateful for their commitment to providing a positive and enriching experience for her.

When we first joined the nursery, I was nervous about my child settling in because he was moving from another nursery. The staff there were very supportive from the get-go and really prioritised reassuring me he has settled. Since that period of settling in he has formed an incredible bond with his key worker. We have seen him really develop new words and more confidence in himself. I cannot fault the nursery at all. Lovely and caring staff, with great facilities.

Review of The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School

Our little boy changed nurseries in May 2022 and we were concerned about how he would settle into another nursery. However, we needn't have worried as the nursery and staff are fantastic and he settled in immediately. He is happy to run straight into nursery in the morning and is absolutely thriving since joining Kiddies. There is a huge focus on playing outside, which was very important to us and the development of the garden has been wonderful to see. His speech has developed greatly in the last couple of months, and the attention to providing activities to suit his interests has definitely played a part in this. Overall, we could not be happier with our choice to move our child to Kiddies Academy and we are so pleased with the progress he is making under their care.

My little boy (a few months shy of 2) loves nursery and is constantly parroting the names of his friends and key workers. There is a big focus on getting the children to play outside which we love and my son’s speech and confidence have grown and grown. There is a little park right outside the nursery where we have a short play after pick up and this is a great way to connect with all the other parents. Overall, we are really pleased with our nursery choice.

Moving my daughter here was by far the best move we could have made. Since starting at The Kiddies Academy she has flourished in every area. The team are amazing and so attentive to her needs. She has made some incredible bonds with both staff and children and I couldn't be more thankful. She has only been here since January and will soon sadly be leaving to go up to primary school, but the difference in her really is astounding. The whole team have really gone above and beyond for her I cannot thank them enough. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who wants a loving nurturing place to provide the best of care for their children.

I couldn't be happier with Kiddies Academy. My 4-year-old has been attending the Nursery for a year and he absolutely enjoys it and I have seen positive changes in his behaviour. The manager and staff team in Preschool have really helped my little one to manage and understand his feelings. The staff members have gone above and beyond to help my little one with his behaviour. They have been very supportive. The Preschool room is very spacious and they have an amazing garden which my little one loves playing in. I am constantly amazed at the different activities they do with the children daily. My little one's key worker always updates me on how he has been doing and what things we can put in place at home as well as Nursery to help my little one further. I highly recommend Kiddies Academy!

Review of The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School

Our son started at Kiddies Academy in the toddler room in 2019 and left in Aug 2021 to start school. The care he received from all the team during his time there has been exceptional. It is a very special nursery and such a nurturing and caring learning environment. Our son absolutely loved it there and thrived. When only children of key workers were allowed to attend nursery during the first lockdown, they were phenomenal. They ran a live Zoom session weekly where we did science experiments so the children could all see their friends and they asked us to send in weekly photos to include in a photo montage to keep them connected. Our son has severe food allergies; he was kept completely safe from his allergens during his time at Kiddies Academy and was able to participate fully in all of the activities, including cooking. They have the most rigorous protocols in place and the cook cooked delicious dairy and soya free meals daily. The manager and deputy are superb and we simply can’t recommend Kiddies Academy enough.

Review of The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School

My daughter has been attending Kiddies Academy for the last 10 months. We were a little unsure, having spent the majority of the first 12 months in lockdown, how she would settle at nursery. We are pleased to say she has thrived at Kiddies Academy. I am always amazed at the different creative ways they find to keep the children entertained, exploring and trying new things every week. The food is such a diverse menu. One of the reasons we selected the nursery was due to its outside space and I love the fact that our daughter enjoys the outdoors so much when not at nursery. The staff are kind, patient and always welcoming and appreciate the pictures and comments they add to the parent app. Definitely recommend to friends.

Our two girls absolutely love coming to Kiddies - and that is a reflection of the quality of the experience that the nursery provides. We have experience of all three ‘rooms’ (baby, toddler and pre-school) and we’ve always been really impressed with the way the staff care for, nurture and encourage the children. They have a real focus on providing a truly rounded experience and making learning fun and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I was full of worries before my little girl’s first day at nursery. I was nervous about how she would be without me, especially because of the pandemic but the staff at Kiddies Academy were amazing. They made me feel comfortable and reassured me of all my concerns. I left the nursery feeling confident she was in good hands. I’ve worked in some beautiful schools but I’ve always said that it’s the staff that makes the school and that’s definitely the case for Kiddies Academy!

I highly recommend Kiddies Academy. The staff were really patient settling my son in and he’s thrived in his time there. The food menu has changed recently and I’m really happy about the variety. They have different activities every day and I get a good handover from staff. One of the best things is how flexible the nursery is in the sessions they offer and if you need an emergency session, they are very helpful.

I can’t recommend this nursery highly enough. My child is currently being assessed for specific learning difficulties, and the staff have been excellent in providing the extra support he needs. Not only have they been a great support for my child, but have supported and guided me through a very complex and challenging time, especially when covid hit. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and will go the extra mile to ensure your child is happy and developing their skills ready for school.

Kiddies Academy have been brilliant for both of my girls. We've had about 6 years of care between 2 girls and it's always been first class. There are plenty of educational and play activities and the staff are always looking to create a sensory, educational environment. The facilities are great and the nursery have made the outdoor space a cool place for the children to play. My daughter who is still there is always buzzing at the end of a day!

Review of The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School

My daughter joined in July 2020 and absolutely adores going to Kiddies Academy. The staff are very friendly and attentive, the building is a good size and spilt into different age groups, they have a lovely outdoor area, and the senior management is approachable and transparent. We were able to settle our daughter prior to her starting, and the staff made sure she got to know them, and they spent time understanding her likes/dislikes and personality. Staff and management regularly update us on our daughter's progress and work collaboratively with us to ensure she is maximising her potential. I would highly recommend Kiddies Academy, we are very pleased our daughter attends here and has thrived in terms of her confidence and development. I would highly recommend.
