The Nursery is staffed by a team of highly qualified and experienced practitioners, committed to delivering the range of experiences and opportunities fundamental to children's learning. We work closely with parents and carers to help the children make the most of their Nursery experiences. Staff are always on hand for a chat or to discuss any issues, and we have regular 'Open House' events such as our slideshows and sing-song sessions to which parents and carers are warmly invited.
Our planned nursery based in the heart of St. Leonards will be a unique place for your child to have great fun within 'urban eco' facilities. We'll focus on outdoor play and your child learning about the local environment, including lots of great outings to the nearby beach and park. We plan, in time to come and when our customers want us to, to open our nursery from 06.30hrs in the morning and even on weekends!
Our aim at Kids "4" Us is to give children a safe and happy environment where they can grow in confidence and independence in preparation not only for school, but for life. We work towards the 'Every Child Matters' outcomes, helping children to be healthy, stay safe, and make a positive contribution while enjoying and achieving.
We can do this because we pay attention to every detail of the child's likes and dislikes, habits, routines, cultures and lifestyles and provide a safe nurturing environment that help them become resilient, independent and confident individuals. They recognised the experience, dedication and enthusiasm of our staff who are all highly trained and knowledgeable and are indeed the reason that makes Brenchley Pre-School such an excellent start for your child's first steps towards education.
The favourable staff / pupil ratio allows our experienced teachers to give personal attention to all children and encourages close liaison with parents. There is an ambitious programme of development in progress which will enhance our facilities even further.
We opened in June 2011 and from the outset wanted to create a wonderful inclusive nursery with a highly qualified and nurturing staff team, great facilities, all in an accessible location for parents. Due to the amazing popularity of our first nursery, we opened our second setting in September 2014, so that we could accomodate the high demand for places and continue providing a great service for all our children and their families.
I'm Gemma and a Ofsted registered childminder. I live at the setting with my partner Mike and our two sons Dylan who is 5 and Joshua is 10. I have a diploma in psychotherapy and counselling and I have volunteered for a charity called Home start which supports families with children 5 years or under, who are experiencing problems.
We would love you to come and visit our nursery to experience our warm and friendly atmosphere and to meet our friendly and qualified staff. Please bring your child with you to see how they respond to our homely environment. We are here to offer your children a fun packed day in a safe, loving and stimulating environment. We are OFSTED registered and follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
