About Us
What We do
What We do
We are a small, friendly team led by a primary teacher with 20 years of experience. We live locally and understand the need for first-class childcare in Dore.
Dore Village Kids is run by Louise, a parent who has struggled to find after-school childcare for her two children. Louise has extensive experience of working with children with a wide range of SEND needs. She is also an enthusiastic PE specialist.
Louise is passionate about the power of play and understands how to create a nurturing and inclusive environment in which children can thrive.
