Learning Approach
KidsLab learning philosophy is centred around a child’s natural desire to explore and build upon their curiosity. Providing children with engaging resources, natural materials, books and stimulating activities, encourages children to be independent and curious learners.
With our range of open-ended materials, children are encouraged to use their creativity and critical thinking to discover how different objects interact, how various materials feel to the touch, how they sound, and explore the many ways they can be used and played with. Play is a central part of our curriculum. Children are encouraged to enjoy the process of discovery and curiosity, experiment, play, explore and use their critical thinking. They are exposed to unique learning opportunities and can expand their creativity and imagination through play, both child-initiated and adult-led activities.
To avoid overwhelming emotions, tiredness and stress, our setting environments has neutral colours, aesthetic homely representation, natural plants and provides cosy and charming hygge feeling. We provide children with self-regulation techniques and teach how to use them in their daily life.
Holistic Education
At KidsLab Nursery, we nurture children's physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth through a balanced mix of child-initiated and adult-led activities.
This comprehensive approach ensures well-rounded development, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and social skills.
Cultural Capital and Trips
Our curriculum includes outings to local attractions like Mudchute Farm, Docklands Museum etc, and cultural sites such as Theatres and Observatories.
These experiences are crucial for enhancing children's cultural capital, broadening their horizons and deepening their understanding of the world around them.
Comprehensive curriculum
From babies to preschool, our curriculum is well-structured and includes real-life experiences, cultural events, and school readiness, preparing children for life's next steps.
At every step, we teach children skills appropriate for their age and level of development. We ensure that each child thrives and blossoms in their unique way.
1000 Hours Outdoors
Our program encourages outdoor activities for at least two hours every day, allowing children to explore nature, plant, garden, and observe, as well as move, play, take risks, and enjoy fresh air in our private garden.
Extra-curricular activities
We offer drama, dance, yoga, mindfulness, and sports coaching to foster diverse interests and talents. By providing a variety of extracurricular options, we help children discover and develop their unique passions and strengths.
School-readiness
We focus on preparing preschoolers not just academically but also emotionally and socially. Our comprehensive approach ensures that children develop the resilience, empathy, and interpersonal skills needed to thrive in any environment. By nurturing the whole child, we lay a strong foundation for their future success both in school and in life.

Piano Piano Studio
We’re really happy to team up with Piano Piano, a lovely music studio that makes learning piano fun and exciting for children.
Their friendly teachers help kids build skills and confidence through playful, creative lessons. They also organise regular concerts and events to help children overcome stage fright and enjoy performing in front of others. Plus, they support those who want to work towards and pass grade exams. And they are really effective with this having 100% pass rate (checked by KidsLab parents!).
