Level 3 Early Years Educator

ABOUT KINDHAUSE

KindHaus is an integrated childcare and workspace designed to support modern families during the critical early years. Our early years setting is relationship-led and offers high-quality, three-hour sessions designed to support both children and their parents.

Our approach is calm, intentional, and rooted in strong, respectful relationships, where children feel a deep sense of belonging and emotional security.

Our curriculum is centred around four key areas:

• Belonging & Wellbeing
• Voice & Independence
• Curiosity & Creativity
• Nature & the World

These are aligned with the EYFS and support a holistic view of children’s development. Our practice is inspired by Froebel and Montessori, with a strong emphasis on play, independence, and meaningful, first-hand experiences, alongside respectful, attuned care and secure relationships.

At KindHaus, we value slow pedagogy, reflective practice, and meaningful partnerships with families. Our team works collaboratively to create a calm, enabling environment where every child is supported to explore, express themselves, and develop at their own pace.
