Chigwell Day Care And Preschool

About this day nursery

Chigwell Day Care and Pre-school is dedicated to providing exceptional care and education for young children in a stimulating and secure environment. They prioritise active partnerships with parents, viewing them as integral collaborators in their child's learning journey, and actively involve them in shaping the nursery's services and policies.

The setting helps children build upon their existing knowledge and skills, with a focus on individual progress facilitated by a personal key person. Guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, the nursery's provision is built upon four core principles: recognising each child as unique and capable, fostering strong and independent learning through positive relationships, creating enabling environments that cater to individual needs, and acknowledging that children learn and develop at their own pace.

Their daily activities are tailored to be age and stage-appropriate, encompassing prime developmental areas such as personal, social and emotional growth, physical development, and communication and language skills, ensuring a comprehensive and enriching experience for every child.

Our ethos

The nursery is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and is committed to the principles of uniqueness, independence, enabling environments, and respecting children's individual pace of development. They view parents as active partners in their child's learning and focus on building upon each child's existing knowledge and skills through a key person approach.

What it's like

Children arrive happy and eager to start their day, welcomed by friendly, familiar staff who know them well. They settle well and engage in activities reflecting their interests, seeking comfort from familiar staff when upset. Staff value children's diverse needs and celebrate their unique qualities, with some staff speaking different languages to reflect the culturally diverse area.
