Twinnie Day Nursery, established in 2013, provides childcare for children aged 1 to 4 years in Belvedere, Kent. Operating all year round from 7am to 6:30pm Monday to Friday, the nursery accommodates up to 46 children.
Practitioners create a welcoming environment, helping children settle in and gain confidence. The nursery's curriculum supports children's developmental milestones, with a focus on building upon their existing knowledge and skills.
Children have daily access to an outdoor play area where they can develop physical skills like climbing and balancing. Leaders and practitioners take a collaborative approach to supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), working with parents and other professionals, and using funding to provide specialised sensory resources.
They also support children learning English as an additional language, incorporating rhymes, books, and key words in children’s home languages. The nursery promotes healthy lifestyles by offering fresh drinking water, nutritious meals, and snacks.
Our ethos
We endeavour to provide a friendly, relaxed, safe and secure environment where babies and children feel confident to explore, learn, and grow under the care of trusted, nurturing staff.
We celebrate every child’s uniqueness by supporting their communication, physical abilities, emotional well-being, and social skills through the Prime Areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
We promote self-esteem, independence, and curiosity, while also encouraging positive behaviour, kindness, and respectful interaction with others. Children are supported to explore their world and build healthy relationships.
We believe in building strong, trusting relationships with parents and carers, working closely together to provide consistent, high-quality care that reflects both home and nursery values.
What it's like
Practitioners warmly welcome children and help them to settle comfortably into the nursery. Leaders have a curriculum that supports developmental milestones across age groups, but it is not always effectively implemented during holiday times. Children are confident and generally behave well, interacting politely with practitioners and peers.
