Swanscombe Day Nursery and Preschool

Explore, Learn and Have Fun at our Swanscombe Nursery

Welcome to Bright Horizons Swanscombe Day Nursery and Preschool, where we provide quality care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Our convenient location, just half a mile from the town centre, offers onsite parking and a buggy park, with close proximity to Swanscombe and Ebbsfleet International train stations. To cater to your child beyond regular nursery hours (7:00 am to 6:30 pm), we also offer a breakfast, after school, and holiday club for children aged 3 months to 8 years, featuring a range of enjoyable activities.

Our delightful baby area boasts three light and airy rooms for children from 3 months to 2 years. From arts and crafts to cosy reading areas, there's plenty for them to discover. The baby area also has its own sleeping area to ensure peaceful naps.

For toddlers aged 2 to 3 years, our spacious toddler unit with two lovely rooms is designed to foster independence. It includes a toilet and nappy changing area to support their transition from nappies to toilet training.

In our preschool, children aged 3 to 5 years find an environment rich in opportunities for independence, with lots of space and exciting activities. Additionally, we have a ready-for-school room where we equip children with the skills they need to feel confident and excited about starting school. To prepare your child for school, our Ready for School program focuses on essential skills like maths, reading, and writing.

Outdoors, our garden provides a fantastic space with physical apparatus, a gardening area, age-appropriate equipment, and covered spaces, ensuring year-round fun and discovery. Divided into age-appropriate sections, the garden features playground equipment, trikes, and covered areas for fun in any weather. A lovely natural forest area adds to the learning experience, perfect for exploring nature and mini beast hunts.

Our Swanscombe team is eager to welcome you and your child. Book a personal tour today and come see everything we have to offer!
