Educational
The nursery fosters learning that takes into account the children’s ages and stages of development looking at all their needs holistically using the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework for guidance.
Equal and Diverse
The nursery reflects the plurality of the country as a whole and the particular community profiles of Gravesend and Dartford
Healthy

Safeguarding

Equal access to all activities
Children have a right to grow and learn in an environment free from prejudice and without discrimination. Our nursery is committed to taking positive action to eliminate discrimination on the grounds of race, gender or disability. All children attending the nursery will have equal access to all the activities and consideration will be given to the individual needs of all children.
