About this day nursery

Funshine (Eden Park) Ltd is a welcoming childcare setting in Beckenham, established in 2007. Open all year round from 8am to 6pm, it provides a stimulating environment for children aged 0–4 years.

The nursery received an overall "Good" rating from Ofsted in March 2022. Staff at Funshine (Eden Park) Ltd are dedicated to supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, working closely with parents and other agencies to ensure a consistent approach to development.

The curriculum is designed to follow children's interests, with staff making accurate assessments of their ongoing progress. Babies at the nursery enjoy sensory play with various textures, while toddlers are encouraged to explore and engage with simple mathematical concepts.

Children over two years benefit from regular outdoor play, demonstrating physical skills on the climbing frame and using their imagination, though the outdoor play experiences for babies are still developing. The nursery also focuses on preparing children for school by fostering independence and managing personal care routines, and parents have noted their children are learning useful skills.

Meals and snacks are freshly prepared on-site, contributing to the children's well-being and teaching them good hygiene practices.
