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.
