About Us..
The vision of Kinderland Day Nurseries is to provide an environment where children are happy, stimulated, safe, and healthy. We have two lovely buildings and fantastic resources but truly believe that our staff are our greatest resource and make the biggest difference in our children's lives! We are based in South Croydon, Greater London, and are a family-run Nursery.
Our nurseries pride themselves on the exceptional level of quality care they provide for young children aged between 3 months to 5 years. We provide a loving, caring, and friendly environment, one in which children have plenty of opportunities to grow and develop to reach their full potential.
At Kinderland Day Nursery Ltd, we work with children, parents, external agencies, and the community to ensure the welfare and safety of children and to give them the very best start in life. Children have the right to be treated with respect, be helped to thrive, and to be safe from any abuse in whatever form. We support the children within our care, protect them from maltreatment, and have robust procedures in place to prevent the impairment of children’s health and development. In our setting, we strive to protect children from the risk of radicalisation, and we promote acceptance and tolerance of other beliefs and cultures.
Designated Safeguarding Lead
We have designated persons within the nursery who take lead responsibility for safeguarding and coordinate child protection and welfare issues, known as the Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL). There is always at least one designated person on duty during the setting's opening hours.
All applicants should be aware that a significant part of the role involves ensuring children are continuously safeguarded from harm. Any job offers will be subject to an enhanced DBS check, thorough referencing, an induction programme, and a 3-month probation period. All successful candidates will receive extensive training upon starting their role.
The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provide that when applying for certain jobs and activities, some convictions and cautions are considered ‘protected’. This means they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website. Please detail any criminal convictions except those 'spent' or otherwise ‘protected’ under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. If you have none, please state.
