Sunscreen & Hat

On hot sunny days, please apply sunscreen to your children before sending them to Nursery and provide them with a named sunscreen for us to reapply during the day. 


Please also remember to pack a named hat for them to wear when we're outside in our wonderful Nursery garden.

Millipede

Millipedes

We are delighted to introduce the newest members of our Culverstone Green Nursery family, Bingo and Bluey - two very interesting thousand-legged millipedes. 


Millipedes are herbivorous and spend their days living in soil and under stones and logs. They are very calm and tolerant of handling (with adult supervision, of course) which makes them ideal for us here at Culverstone Green Nursery. We're very pleased to be able to expose our curious Nursery children to these wonderful creepy-crawlies.


Bluey can be identified by his shorter left antennae and Bingo has been perfectly behaved since coming to live with us. We can't wait for your children to tell you more about them!

Fees

Our hourly fee rate is £8.00. In addition, sundries (covering snacks, consumables and other Nursery provisions such as cooking ingredients and arts & crafts items) are £1 per session. These fees are inline with other Gravesham providers. 15‐hours childcare support is available to those eligible.


Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Ofsted

Rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted

Culverstone Green Nursery underwent a routine Ofsted inspection on 12th July 2022 and were awarded the highest mark in all areas of inspection! In addition, the inspector noted that:

• Children are consistently relaxed and engaged, showing they feel safe and secure. 

• Children display extremely high levels of respect for one another. They regularly engage in deep conversations and are passionate in sharing their ideas. 

• Children display an excellent understanding of the behavioural expectations of the setting as they share and take turns. Older children remind the young children to take turns, reinforcing their understanding. 

• Staff know the children extremely well. This is due to the robust procedures they have in place as a child starts the setting. They complete home visits and setting-in sessions to build trusting relationships with the child and family. 

• Staff are highly committed to supporting children's communication and language skills. They consistently engage in funny, exciting conversations and challenge children's thinking by asking intriguing questions. 

• Managers are incredibly passionate and inspiring. They act as excellent role models, creating a dedicated staff team who all share the same ethos. 

• Parents are extremely grateful for the intensive level of support they receive from the setting. They speak very highly of the staff and feel fully informed about their children's learning and development. Parents are thoroughly impressed by the progress their children have made since attending the setting.

The full report can be found here or on Ofsted's website.
