Nominate a Kidco staff member for a KIDCO Kudos award!

The parent shared, “It is truly a pleasure to nominate Cassandra for a KIDCO Kudos Award at Kids & Company London Richmond, in heartfelt recognition of her kindness, warmth, and genuine care.

Our son, Benjamin, lovingly known as Benji, has been attending since he was just 10 months old in September. From the very beginning, Cassandra has greeted him each day with a warm smile, open arms, and so much love. Her gentle nature and reassuring presence have helped Benji feel safe, comforted, and excited to be there, something that means more to us than words can express.

Cassandra consistently goes above and beyond to ensure Benji feels cared for, understood, and supported. She notices the little things, celebrates his growth and milestones, and treats him with exceptional attentiveness and compassion. Because of her, Benji is thriving, and we feel an immense sense of trust and gratitude knowing he is in such capable and caring hands.

We are incredibly thankful for Cassandra and the positive impact she has had on our son’s early years. This nomination is our small way of expressing our deep appreciation for the love she gives so freely and the difference she makes each and every day.”

The parent shared, “Maryam consistently goes above and beyond in planning engaging presentations for the children. Through her thoughtful efforts, they are learning so much and become genuinely excited to practice and share their work. The confidence our child has gained as a result has truly impressed us.

Because of Maryam’s kindness and her ability to make learning fun, we feel our child will be well prepared for the transition into kindergarten. We are incredibly grateful for all that she does and hope she receives the recognition she so richly deserves.”

The co-worker shared, “I would like to nominate Ravinder Kaur for the Diversity Award in recognition of her genuine commitment to respecting and celebrating every child’s unique background and individual needs.

Ravinder consistently demonstrates her belief that every child deserves to feel valued, included, and supported, regardless of their abilities, behaviours, or challenges. She approaches each child with patience, persistence, and compassion. Even in situations where others may feel a child requires additional support, Ravinder remains steady, positive, and solution focused.

She never labels a child as “too much.” Instead, she recognises that every child has individual needs and simply requires the right support to flourish. Through her consistent encouragement and belief in their potential, many children have gained confidence, built meaningful social connections, and successfully integrated into the classroom community.

Ravinder embraces diverse perspectives and understands that inclusion means meeting children where they are. She helps create an environment where differences are not only accepted, but respected and celebrated. Her actions reflect the belief that when children feel valued and supported, they are inspired to grow, lead, and thrive.

Ravinder truly represents our diversity values through her daily commitment to inclusion, empathy, and unwavering support for every child.”

The co-worker shared, “Lovepreet has shown remarkable courage and versatility, stepping in wherever she is needed—not just in the kitchen, but also in classrooms and other areas. She approaches every task with a positive attitude and a warm smile, always ready to offer support. I am proud to have her as an essential part of our team.”

The parent shared, “I wanted to take a moment to share how wonderful the team at Kids and Company Morgan Crossing is. Joben has remained positive, calm, and smiling throughout the ordeal with the flooding. She hasn’t shied away from difficult conversations and has handled everything like a champ.

The team at Morgan Crossing has been amazing with my currently enrolled son, Duncan, and with my older son, Cole, when he was in care. The teachers at this location are a truly special group who go above and beyond for their kids—they still make a big deal of acknowledging Cole anytime he walks in for pick-up! I genuinely believe it is the educators here who make Kids and Company such a wonderful daycare.

The teachers are always willing to discuss any issues that arise and offer helpful ideas for supporting the children at home. There is never any judgment—only guidance and support, without triggering Mom-guilt. They don’t just go through the motions; it’s clear they genuinely care for and love their students.

The team at Morgan Crossing has meant the world to my family and me. Given the current situation, I sincerely hope they are all doing well and that, when the centre reopens, we will be reunited with them. Duncan only has until September before starting school, and I very much hope to have the opportunity to tell these wonderful ladies again how important they are, how much their work matters, and how much we will miss them.

Thank you for arranging alternative locations for the kids in the meantime, and an even bigger thank you for ensuring familiar faces are there for both the children and their parents. Duncan hasn’t missed a beat with the transition—he saw his teachers and a few friends and walked into his new class at drop-off without even looking back at his dad.”
