Spring - Northumberland Heath

About this day nursery

Spring Northumberland Heath Nursery provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. Located in Erith, Kent, the nursery offers full day care with convenient car park access for drop-offs and collections.

The dedicated team of passionate practitioners focuses on fostering children's learning and development through engaging activities. Children are encouraged to explore and play using natural resources, with accessible free-flow play areas that allow them to express themselves within a safe setting.

The nursery prides itself on creating a friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. They accept various funding options, including both existing schemes and those being introduced by the government in phases from April 2024 to September 2025, which will extend funded childcare hours to younger children.

This commitment ensures that families can access the childcare they need. The nursery also emphasises the importance of the Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) to further support children's early education and development.
