DREAM CORACLES AND ALL-WEATHER LEARNING AT KENT COLLEGE NURSERY
EDUCATION
KENT COLLEGE, AN OUTSTANDING SCHOOL ON THE EDGE OF CANTERBURY, HAS OPENED ITS DOORS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE YEAR TO BABIES. THE BEAUTIFUL GARDEN COTTAGE NURSERY, SET IN THE IDYLLIC GROUNDS OF KENT COLLEGE JUNIOR SCHOOL IN HARBLEDOWN, CANTERBURY, WILL OFFER AN EXCEPTIONAL LEVEL OF CARE FOR BABIES AND TODDLERS UP TO THE AGE OF THREE YEARS.
The facility is perfectly located in the Old Lodge, which used to form the gatehouse to the estate. The homely rooms have been fitted out with the very latest equipment, as well as flexible and environmentally friendly wooden furniture.
The nursery accommodates up to 12 babies and toddlers at any one time and combines the best practice and standards of nursery childcare with the individual attention of a nanny or childminder. The team of highly experienced and dedicated staff offer a service that is tailored to the needs of the individual child. The children have all the advantages of security and socialisation offered by a nursery environment, combined with the relaxed home-from-home atmosphere of personalised childcare.
Developed to encourage good eating habits from their earliest days, the nursery menus are planned by the head chef at Kent
College to ensure all meals are nutritious, wellbalanced and tasty. The building has been fitted out to provide a flexible and homely space, opening out onto a garden and allweather learning area – children are able to develop their skills and imaginations in the role-play kitchen and the conservatory area is used for messy and physical play.
The garden includes a role-play area, a planting area and a slide. For those children who require a nap during their nursery session, there are dream coracles and sleep mats where children can sleep undisturbed, yet still be monitored regularly.
