Founded by Dominique Ring in 2014, Kinder Harmony was created from a deep belief that children deserve a nurturing, meaningful, and nature‑connected early childhood.
Inspired by Froebelian principles, our practice honours the whole child—supporting their emotional well‑being, creativity, independence, and innate curiosity.
We create an enabling environment where learning flows naturally between indoors and outdoors, allowing children to build real skills, confidence and resilience through genuine experiences.
We established our new setting, Cosmos Nursery and Kindergarten in Harpenden in 2024.

At Cosmos Nursery and Kindergarten, we believe that childhood is a time to be nurtured, respected and celebrated.
Our ethos is rooted in the understanding that children learn best when they feel safe, valued and curious, and when their ideas and interests are genuinely listened to.

At Cosmos Nursery and Kindergarten, we believe that childhood is a time to be nurtured, respected and celebrated.
Our ethos is rooted in the understanding that children learn best when they feel safe, valued and curious, and when their ideas and interests are genuinely listened to.
We offer a child‑led, holistic approach to learning, where play, exploration and meaningful relationships form the foundation for development. Our highly qualified team supports children to grow as confident, capable learners through thoughtful guidance, rich indoor and outdoor experiences, and sensitive care that responds to each child as an individual.
We are committed to creating a calm, inclusive and inspiring environment where every child is known, supported and encouraged to thrive. By valuing curiosity, creativity and wellbeing alongside learning, we help children develop not only essential skills, but also a lifelong love of learning.
