Kingfish

About Us

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Colden Common village, we offer exceptional, nurturing childcare for little ones aged 2 years up to Reception, ensuring every child experiences a caring and stimulating environment. We proudly welcome families from our village and surrounding areas, including Twyford, Fair Oak, Bishopstoke, Eastleigh, Otterbourne, Compton, and Owslebury.

At the heart of our programme is a love of the outdoors, which shines through in our outstanding allotment school—an engaging space where children enjoy hands-on learning and exploration in nature.

Our aim is to enhance the development and education of children through a dynamic, community-based approach that actively involves parents. We are committed to providing a safe, secure, and inspiring setting where every child and family enjoys equal opportunities to thrive.

Our Mission Statement:

At Kingfishers Colden Common Preschool, our mission is to provide exceptional care in a warm, inclusive, and welcoming environment where every child feels valued, respected, and supported. We want every child to belong to a community where they are safe, nurtured, and celebrated as individuals.

We create meaningful and fun opportunities that motivate learning, spark curiosity, and nurture independence, enabling each child to achieve their potential and grow into a confident and capable learner.

We help children find their own voices and embrace new and exciting experiences, including those inspired by our Forest School ethos and outdoor learning approach, so they can thrive both within our setting and in the wider world.

We are deeply committed to working in partnership with parents and carers, ensuring the best possible outcomes for every child by keeping their needs, interests, and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.

We also recognise the vital role our passionate and dedicated staff team play in bringing our mission to life. We value their expertise, ongoing professional development, and the energy, care, and creativity they bring to making each day meaningful and fun for every child.
