Canterbury Day Nursery and Preschool

Welcome to Canterbury Day Nursery and Preschool, where our Ofsted Good-rated nursery provides the best care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years.

State-of-the-Art Resources and Tailored Rooms

Our warm and welcoming baby unit is for children under 2 years of age. The unit has its very own sensory room, where babies and young toddlers enjoy sensory and heuristic play sessions that teach them about different sights, sounds and textures in the world around them.

Children aged 2 to 3 years old love spending their days in our bright and colourful nursery room. The children take part in a range of exciting activities to inspire young minds and work towards developmental goals.

In our toddler room, your little explorer will be encouraged to develop their independence and work towards skills they'll need when they start preschool.

Preschool is divided into two light and airy rooms, where children engage in a variety of activities to enhance their learning journey and prepare them for their next step. Preschoolers enjoy Forest School in their garden, helping them to learn about the natural world and develop new skills through nature.

Children also enjoy Boogie Mites music sessions where they can learn about the world through music and song.

A Bright Beginning for Every Child

Your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum, designed by our own Early Years specialists.

Building on the foundations of the government's EYFS curriculum, Bright Beginnings combines a wide range of activities to nurture and develop the skills your child needs to flourish and reach their full potential. This holistic yet personal approach supports each child's wellbeing, development, and progress – whether that's moving rooms or preparing them for school.

You can stay updated with your child's progress through our Bright Horizons Family app.

Getting Ready for Their Next Steps

To ensure your little learner is confident to start school, our older children take part in our Ready for School programme, which brings structure and focus to maths, reading, writing, and other essential skills they need to get ready for school.

Learning and Playing in the Garden

We're fortunate to have a large and stimulating garden area, with freeflow access from each of the classrooms. The garden is divided into age-specific sections, so every room has its own garden to discover.

The main garden features an outdoor classroom, a cycle track, two low-level treehouses, a climbing net, a water feature, digging and planting areas, and chalk and painting boards.
