Kiddywinks South Molton is situated within the town amongst the housing estates, within walking distance from the town centre shops and the local schools. Previously, it was another nursery and before that the building was built to provide day care for disabled adults so it’s all on one floor with easy access to all areas including the 2 gardens.
Kiddywinks South Molton was established in July 2014. There have been many changes since this time and these have brought Kiddywinks ethos, policies, procedures and approach from Kiddywinks’ Barnstaple setting.
Enabling a free flow aspect to be incorporated, Kiddywinks have created zones within the nursery, all of which are supervised by key staff. This allows the children of all ages to move freely from room to room having the chance to experience as many opportunities as possible.
Kiddywinks South Molton's most recent inspection by OFSTED was in February 2022, and have a well deserved GOOD grading.
