About this day nursery

The Lighthouse Nursery Bromley Limited is dedicated to providing an inclusive and supportive environment where children can reach their potential. The nursery actively promotes diversity and works to eliminate discrimination, making necessary adjustments to cater to individual needs.

Their ultimate goal is to cultivate a welcoming community that prioritises respect, fairness, and a strong sense of belonging for all children and their families. The nursery offers various funded options for early years education, accommodating different age groups and family circumstances, with a transparent policy regarding additional charges for meals and extra hours beyond the funded provisions.

They emphasise that while government funding covers education costs, expenses for consumables, meals, and additional services are separate, ensuring clarity for parents enrolling their children. The nursery operates with consideration for both term-time and stretched year models for funded hours, offering flexibility to families.
