About The Farningham Day Nursery
The Farningham Day Nursery was established in 1996 and provides high quality care and early years education for children aged 3 months to 5 years.
We are proud of our small and friendly atmosphere and the personal relationships we build with children and their families.
We create a safe, happy and stimulating environment where children feel secure enough to explore, confident enough to try new things and supported as they develop.
Our aim
Our aim is to help every individual child develop their full potential, regardless of age or ability.
We provide an environment that encourages children to learn through play, explore and experiment independently and develop at a level that is right for them.
We recognise that every child is different.
Our role is to understand each child, celebrate their strengths and provide the support and opportunities they need to progress.
A home-from-home environment
We want children to feel comfortable, secure and happy at nursery.
Our team works hard to create an atmosphere where children know the adults caring for them, feel listened to and can develop positive relationships with other children.
Parents are an important part of this process.
We believe that the best outcomes for children come when nursery and home work together.
Our approach
We focus on:
- Secure relationships and attachments
- Children’s wellbeing
- Learning through play
- Independence and confidence
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Early literacy and mathematics
- Creativity and imagination
- Outdoor learning
- Positive relationships with families
Our opening hours
We are open Monday to Friday 8am-6pm, for 51 weeks of the year.
Longer hours are available on request – earlier arrivals (from 7.30am) and later collections (until 6.30pm) – these can be booked in advance at an additional cost.
We close on bank holidays, between Christmas and New Year, and for one day during the summer for our annual nursery outing.
