Book a look around our nursery

Welcome

Family Tree Day Nursery is a private, family-run day nursery in Sidcup, Kent; established in 2013 to provide high quality childcare and education for children from three months to five years.

We provide a wonderful haven for your children to learn, grow and play. The little ones are the centre of everything we do. We aim to ensure that every child in our care develops socially and intellectually in a happy, stimulating and caring environment. 

We are medium size nursery, operating from a purpose-built nursery facility. This means we offer a personal touch; get to know your child much better and work more closely with parents as partners. Our mission is to give your child a safe, loving, home from home environment and not lost in a large group.
“Staff are responsive to children's individual care needs and deploy themselves effectively. Children feel happy, safe and secure in the nursery and are making good progress in their learning and development” Ofsted report 2018

Warm, Friendly & Homely

We learn through play; every child is unique and are encouraged to learn and develop at their own pace. We strive to set the solid background for children to build lifelong skills in a friendly and fun way, while focusing on the EYFS curriculum. Through both Child-led and Teacher-led activities, a child’s key worker will plan activities to support their next steps to learn and develop. Our resources are stored in transparent boxes, accessible at children’s eye-level allowing the child to freely select their own resources while exploring different areas such as role play area, sand area, reading area, me-time area (quiet area) and many more..

Testimonial

What our parents say about us
"Family Tree is completely representative of its name, a great feeling of family as they care for my little one.
My Son has attended since he was 18 months and is now in his final year before starting school and he has loved every minute!
He is supported with his development, encouraged to learn and comes out with a smile on his face and that’s all we could ask for!"

Safeguarding

 The nursery has been designed to the highest standards in safety and security, offering an authorised door entry system and CCTV monitoring, while still retaining a homely and caring environment. We work with professional bodies and the local authority to promote the welfare of children and protect them at all times. This means we uphold both the welfare requirements as set out in the statutory framework for Early Years Foundation Stage; as well as the legal requirements that are stipulated in government guidance: Working Together to Safeguard Children DFE, 2018, Keeping Children Safe in Education (2016); in addition to other regulatory requirements.

Tapestry App

Entrusting your child’s care with us is an important responsibility that we do not take lightly. We ensure we put your mind at rest by constantly giving you feedback regularly in nursery and through our Tapestry software. Tapestry is an app that offers complete secure access for parents to view and contribute to their children's development directly on the system.

FOREST SCHOOL

The Forest schools concept originated in Scandinavia in the 1950s. It is an inspirational process that encourages learners to develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on, outdoor learning experiences in a woodland, forest or natural environment. This learning environment helps children to explore the natural world by doing, developing their natural skills in problem-solving, social interaction, risk-taking in a safe environment, thinking and general wellbeing to last them a lifetime.
 
Research in the early year’s sector shows the positive impact that these types of schools have on young children’s development. Our Forest school activities are led by a Forest School Qualified Teacher with several years’ experience working with children.
