First Class Day Nursery

About this day nursery

First Class Day Nursery, located in South Benfleet, focuses on providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children, aiming to foster their growth and development. The nursery’s philosophy centres around inspiring young minds through curiosity and creativity, delivering high-quality care that addresses each child's physical, emotional, and intellectual needs, and empowering families by working collaboratively.

They also prioritise creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space where every child feels valued. The nursery implements the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, focusing on four key principles: recognising each child as unique and competent, building positive relationships with caregivers, providing enabling environments for learning, and acknowledging diverse learning styles and rates.

They structure their curriculum around the seven areas of learning within the EYFS, designing activities to promote personal, social, and emotional development, communication and language, physical development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design. The team monitors children's progress to tailor learning experiences effectively.
