We offer half days or full days; we accept 2 year offer funding for low income families, 30hr Working Family Funding and 15hrs funding for 3 years plus. We take children from 18mths old. We provide a safe and nurturing environment for all children, where they feel safe and confident to learn and grow as a whole. We teach children to be mindful and resilient. Children (and staff) also learn to balance their emotions and be happy and healthy through breathing, mediation and yoga; including Wellness Wednesday. Wellness Wednesday takes place outside, where we learn more about the outdoors through Forest School activities.
We also carry out daily Attention Autism sessions, Sensory Circuits and Movement breaks, we follow the Curiosity Programme carrying out Intensive Interaction; striving to meet the needs of all of our learners, wherever their starting points are. We use daily visuals to support transitions, Now and Next Boards, Visual timetables and 1-2-1 activities to develop learning and focus on the teacher. We work closely with local agencies and the Council, such as Bexley Early Autism Service, Private speech and language therapists and Play Therapists.

Learning
We offer open-flow play, with daily access to the garden in all weather (please provide wet suits and welly boots). At Preschool, children learn to develop independence and confidence, through 'In The Moment Planning'; where children self select what activities to do and what they wish to play with. Staff work hard to engage, inspire and play with your children, supporting their learning further in everything they do. Everything is based around the children's interest, so engagement is kept to the maximum. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage - meaning we follow the same curriculum as Primary Schools. We are constantly observing and assessing, ready to notice that teachable moment, where we can gently step in and guide your child's learning further and develop those thinking skills. We maintain close, family friendly relationships with our parents, who can give us a bell at any time and come in for a chat. Remember we are here for you too!!
