Here at Sidcup Day Nurseries we have designed dedicated spaces that cater to different developmental stages in your child's life including The Den (0-1 Years), The Burrow (1-2 Years), The Nest (2-3 years), The Hollow (3-5 Years) and Outdoor Spaces ensuring your children get the education they deserve.

We have created a home from home environment where our young babies can grow and develop in a safe and secure space that is tailored to each individual and promotes our sensory curriculum. Our devoted team use a flexible routine that can be adapted to each unique baby to support their growth and development. Our infant team take each child through a journey of self-discovery using a variety of activities and sensory encounters.

Our dedicated educators enable all babies to feel safe and secure by creating a warm and nurturing home from home environment where all individual’s interests are at the centre of learning. Our babies are given the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of wonderous experiences exploring the senses of the world. We provide an entire exploratory sensory curriculum where play ignites baby’s innate curiosity.

Our toddlers will find opportunities to explore the natural world whist being listened to and motivated by our dedicated educators. Our toddlers are encouraged to use technology where appropriate to enhance their learning and share memories and experiences. We encourage and develop huge thinking, learning, social and emotional skills that will support them in navigating their world, all while being supported and respected as individuals.

Pre-School is the last stepping stone towards primary school, we therefore aim to achieve a natural balance between adult and child-initiated activities. We scaffold every child’s learning to support them to be inquisitive, independent and confident learners. The children are encouraged to be at the heart of our planning, where their ideas, views and thoughts are heard, understood, and appreciated. We aim in Pre-School to build our children’s self-esteem so when they leave for bigger things, they are life ready.

We offer diverse forms of active play that allow children to independently explore, discover and investigate. Our children have access to natural resources that allow innovative and imaginative play where they can immerse themselves within their own adventures. We actively encourage our children to engage in the growing and harvesting of our own vegetables to be cooked during activities in our children’s cooking programme. We engage and explore the outdoor spaces within the wider community to broaden horizons and advocate children to take risks while being within a secure and stable environment.
