About Westerham Day Nursery

We hold a long standing philosophy of promoting children’s early learning through play.

​

We believe that early play opportunities - where children can explore, be creative and imaginative and active in their learning - are vital to their development. This view is supported by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which promotes the importance of these play experiences in order to build a solid foundation for future learning and development of each individual child.

​

We feel strongly that children’s involvement in their play leads to high levels of well-being. In our nursery qualified and experienced Early Years Educators will work closely with your child to support and extend their learning and development.

As part of the safer recruitment, you will require an enhanced DBS. This will be applied for by the employer if successful.

It is an offence to apply for the role if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.
