Baby Room Leader for an International Preschool in Chiswick
Kïdo, United Kingdom

About Kïdo?

There’s plenty of room to play at Chiswick. Our preschool features huge indoor and outdoor play areas, expansive learning spaces and lots of natural light. We’re the officially affiliated preschool for Chiswick Park, and the heart of the development is a one-minute walk from the center. Kïdo Chiswick is also just a two-minute walk from a nearby nature trail. This means children can enjoy our forest school experience, as they go hiking through the nature reserve.
