An Outstanding Preschool in Canterbury for Children Aged 2-5
Where Little Learners Laugh, Grow and Create!
A Personalised Learning Experience
We work with children and families across the local area and welcome all government childcare funding for children aged 2 and over. This includes funded places under Free for 2, 15 hours universal funding, and the 30 hours extended entitlement, as well as fee-paying families.
Located in the heart of Canterbury, we provide early years education for children aged 2 to 5. Our sessions run from 8:30am to 2:30pm, Monday to Friday, during term time, giving families the flexibility to use their full 30 hours of funded childcare in one place.
