Kingswood Community Nursery

About this day nursery

Kingswood Community Nursery, part of the Pen Green Centre, provides early education and care for children aged nine months to five years. The nursery operates 48 weeks a year, from 8 am to 6 pm, aiming to foster the best possible educational outcomes for its children.

The nursery is committed to inclusivity, welcoming all children and providing additional support or specialist equipment when necessary, which may be funded through various sources like High Needs Funding and the Disability Access Fund. They encourage parental involvement and offer support through family workers and community outreach.

Fees are reviewed annually and are payable two weeks in advance. The nursery also actively participates in government schemes designed to assist families with childcare costs, including various funded childcare hours and Tax-Free Childcare, helping parents navigate their options for financial support.

What it's like

Children are well cared for by kind staff and form strong relationships with their key persons, settling quickly into the setting and enjoying time with new friends. Daily routines are well-established, promoting children's independence as they self-register for snacks, pour drinks, and choose their meals. Staff sensitively interact with children, meeting their care and learning needs in a well-planned and resourced environment, ensuring all children, including those with SEND, benefit equally while confidently exploring both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Pricing & funding

Healthy snacks are provided throughout sessions, with parents invited to make a voluntary, suggested contribution of £3 per week towards the cost. Children are not treated differently if parents choose not to contribute. No other fee rates are specified.
