About this day nursery
Hayeswick Day Nursery, a family-operated establishment, provides high-quality day care and preschool services for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Located in West Wickham, the nursery prides itself on its small size, ensuring each child receives individual attention in a safe, caring, happy, stimulating, and relaxed environment.
The curriculum encourages development through a blend of structured and free play, fostering unique social, physical, intellectual, creative, and emotional skills. This approach aims to build foundational understanding in reading, writing, mathematics, and science, preparing children for primary school.
Babies are nurtured in a loving, homely atmosphere, progressing at their own pace while being encouraged to explore, communicate, and form trusting relationships. The nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) guidelines, emphasising play-based learning and exposure to diverse materials and resources to develop a wide range of skills.
Hayeswick Day Nursery also features dedicated outdoor play areas, including separate spaces for babies, and bright, spacious indoor environments with specialised rooms for different age groups, such as Baby Room 1, Baby Room 2, Tiny Tots, and Pre School.
Our ethos
Hayeswick Day Nursery is a family run nursery which aims to provide high quality day care for children between the ages of 3 months – 5 years in a safe, caring, happy, stimulating and relaxed environment. Each child will be encouraged to develop and learn through a mixture of structured and free play. We believe that this approach will help children to develop naturally their own unique, social, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional skills and will lay the foundations for reading, writing, mathematical and scientific understanding, in preparation for primary school and the requirements of the National Curriculum.

Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Leaders ensure that children who need extra support are identified swiftly, to help minimise any gaps in their development. This helps all children to be ready for their next stage of learning.
Outdoor space
Staff teach children to keep themselves healthy and safe. They provide nutritious meals and daily outdoor play in the large garden. As children create an obstacle course using tyres and planks, staff ask questions, such as 'Is it safe to walk on?' This helps children to begin to recognise and manage risks.
