Overview

KU Cheltenham goes beyond childcare. We create a safe and nurturing environment where childhood is celebrated.

KU Cheltenham has been the first choice for early childhood education for many generations within our local community. We are proud of our strong reputation of providing rich education and care tailored to each child’s needs in a family-focussed and supportive way.

Celebrated for our expansive woodland garden setting, we provide a happy, caring environment with endless opportunities for play and learning.

About this service

Our program and approach

When children play and explore, their imagination and curiosity are sparked – they enjoy learning and are inspired to continue learning more.

Our play-based program intentionally provides a wide range of engaging opportunities and activities based on the Early Years Learning Framework.

Our large woodland garden allows us to offer an outdoor program with engaging play spaces for all interests, including construction, art and craft, a mud kitchen, sandpit, dramatic play, music and physical activity. These experiences foster wellbeing and self-confidence in children.
