From the The Cottage Nursery
From the age of three months to five years old, children can get excellent daycare services at The Cottage Nursery.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (2017) Statutory Framework, which also specifies the welfare standards, serves as England's official early years curriculum.
The approach's core idea is partnership, with parents and kids taking an active role in their own education.
The Steiner method places a strong emphasis on the value of encouraging children's imagination and creativity, as well as their comprehension and exploration of the natural world and the role model role of the practitioner.
It is a well-known paradigm that emphasises the need of giving kids responsibility and decision-making power.
According to this method, routines are crucial for giving kids a sense of stability and security.
This is mirrored in our work as we encourage child-initiated play and consider kids' preferences and interests when developing games and activities.
Additionally, routines play a crucial role in our nursery day since they give the kids a sense of stability and constancy.
On-site Forest School activities are available.
In fact, we were Kent's first early childhood setting to receive accreditation.
The Forest Schools Association (FSA) (https://www.forestschoolassociation.org/) has recognised and accredited us.
The Forest School Association, which promotes best practises, unity, and high-quality Forest School for All, is the professional organisation and UK-wide voice for forest schools.
The gold standard for paediatric first aid in the early years is Millies Mark accreditation, which we hold.
We are Bexley Borough's first early years setting to receive accreditation.
At The Cottage Nursery, we firmly believe that the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) as defined by the Statutory Framework in England is a truly blended approach that draws inspiration from the best practises all over the world. We adhere to its recommendations and evaluate our own performance in line with them.
Our setting and programmes are carefully designed to support children's growth and development.
The environment and activities at our facility encourage and equip kids to become self-assured, assertive adults.
We think that young toddlers can learn through exploring their surroundings rather than through being instructed.
These little detectives will keep looking about and learning as long as they are safe and in an intriguing environment.
We firmly think that providing children with an atmosphere that fosters and extends their growth and learning, coupled with wholesome food, joy, and safety, gives them the confidence they need to express themselves, learn, and develop.
Our guiding principle is to assist and promote children's independent learning.
Children are divided into three different rooms and groups.
Staff members who are qualified to care for children in that age range work for each group.
This guarantees the level of care's quality and consistency.
The resources and activities available to the children in their particular age groups and rooms are those that are best for their learning and development.
When children move from one room to another, this accessibility across the nursery helps with continuity of care and minor transition-related issues.
