3 months 3 years THE STABLES NURSERY
The Stables Nursery
The Stables Nursery, set in the rural village of Great Chart, Kent, will provide a nurturing environment in which children aged 3 months to 3 years will flourish and grow. Underpinned by the ethos of Adventurous Learning and with the aim to inspire excellence, highly trained staff will encourage your child to explore the world around them through play, whilst developing invaluable skills and characteristics that they will carry with them through their childhood.
Facilities
The Stables Nursery is a purpose-built, modern and homely nursery based on the grounds of Ashford Prep School. Each room is designed specifically for the developmental needs of each age and phase in a child’s life, and the central Hub provides a space where all children and staff can come together to share in exciting activities and meal times. As such, children will enjoy the benefits of family grouping for much of the day.
Care
Lead by experienced Headteacher Kelly McBeath, staff at The Stables Nursery are highly trained professionals, whose primary role is to care for your child and nurture their development whilst working hand-in-hand with you. Your child will be cared for as part of a big family in a ‘home-from-home’ environment, and their own keyworker will work closely with you and your family to ensure that your child is happy and content every step of the way.
Food and Meal Times
Children at The Stables Nursery will have opportunity to develop a healthy understanding of, and relationship with, their food. All meals will be freshly prepared, healthy, nutritious and, where possible, organic and locally sourced. As the children grow older they will have the opportunity to help prepare meals and snacks, as well as grow their own fruits and vegetables, helping them understand the journey of the food from the garden to their plate.
Learning
Language, social, physical and sensory development are at the heart of everything The Stables Nursery children will do. Every activity will be meticulously planned to ensure that each child’s individual needs are met, and that their next stages of development are always in mind. Children will be encouraged to explore the vibrant environment around them through play. From the moment they join us as babies until they move on as thriving toddlers, their development will be stimulated through a range of engaging tools and activities, including messy play, art, craft, sensory exploration, music, movement and role play.
Future Pathway
Based on the same site as Ashford Prep School (3 years – 11 years), The Stables Nursery provides the perfect opportunity for a seamless transition into the next stages of a child’s education. This close proximity will allow children to become familiar with their surroundings and to develop key relationships with the wider Ashford School family, making sure that they are in an environment in which they already feel comfortable and safe as they make the big steps into the Prep School Nursery.
