In celebration of Black History Month, our little bakers explored the story behind Jamaican Ginger Cake- and how the ingredients travelled across oceans! 🌍💛
They stirred their way through sticky ginger, dark sugar and warm spices, learning how these flavours connect to Jamaica’s rich heritage and the journeys that brought them to kitchens all around the world.

🌿 “Relationships are the roots of all learning.” -Loris Malaguzzi
At KatieB Kids, we know that every moment of connection (a smile, a conversation, a shared discovery) helps children feel safe, valued, and ready to learn.
Our incredible team of educators nurture these relationships every day, creating environments where curiosity blooms and children thrive.
✨ Happy Diwali!✨
Our little creators have been busy crafting their very own diva lamps from scratch, shaping them out of clay with care and creativity. 🪔
We can’t wait to share their beautiful finished pieces soon- each one a tiny masterpiece.

🌾✨ Harvest time at KatieB Kids! ✨🌾
Our Prescolare children have been exploring the meaning of Harvest Festival- talking about where our food comes from, how we can show gratitude for nature’s gifts, and the importance of sharing with others.
To celebrate, the children decided our nursery garden needed a little extra protection… so they created their very own scarecrow to watch over the vegetables! 🥕🌻👒

🌰 Important: Always supervise closely in case your child is tempted to try and eat them!
