At Chatham Nursery School we realise that the initial years of a child’s life are a very impactful period, laying the groundwork for their growth and development. Our nursery school caters to children aged two years to five years, embarking on a journey of exploration that sets the stage for a lifelong pursuit of knowledge.
We strive to create engaging environments that inspire curiosity and excitement, fostering a foundation for each child’s unique growth journey and laying the groundwork for future success and a lifelong love of learning. These early experiences shape each child’s unique development, paving the way for future success, health, and continuous learning.
The children learn through play, allowing them to become immersed in experiences that deepen their understanding and expand their skills. Our dedicated team of educators are committed to nurturing and supporting your child’s progress through the Early Years Foundation Stage.
The setting is made up of the Nursery School which includes Oak Tree Room (for 3-4 year olds) and The Nest (Specialist SEND Unit) and the childcare centre, also known as Little Acorns (2 year olds and rising 3s). We also share the building with Picton Children’s Centre. Together we work closely in a federation with our neighbours, St Hugh’s Primary School and Kensington Children’s Centre.
For us, we feel that working in this building with the services it offers, working closely in the federation provides the team with a lot of support, friendship and sense of unity, and this is a huge advantage for our community.
We extend a warm invitation for you to visit our nursery school and witness first-hand what sets us apart as a nurturing environment for your child’s crucial early years. We accept children both 2-3 funded, 15 hour and 30 hour places, depending on eligibility. Visits are welcomed year-round, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet you and your family, guiding you through our facilities and approach to early childhood education.
