We are a friendly, warm, privately owned Nursery situated within the Goldsmiths Community Centre with our own entrance on Boundfield Road.
We are local to Catford, Hither Green and Downham.
The nursery is open from 7:45 am to 6:00pm. Monday to Friday, 50 weeks per year.
We are closed for two weeks over the Christmas period and during Bank Holidays.
We offer a stimulating and fun environment where children are able to flourish and learn through play and we just love getting messy…… very messy!!!!!
We have a huge outdoor area where the children can enjoy making mud pies in the mud kitchen, getting super soaked exploring the water, among other outdoor experiences. We also have 3 lovely ladies called Susie, Sandy and Lillie who are our residential chickens who live and roam our outdoor space 😊 the children pride themselves in looking after the chickens, ensuring their coop is nice and clean and clearing up any mess they leave behind!
We are very proud of the outdoor environment we have developed, as all sorts of wildlife come to join us during the day, from our tiny blue birds and Mr Robin to our resident squirrel who pops by most teatimes, and we must not forget our bug hotels and wonderful plants that attract the most beautiful butterflies.
Our Cooking Club encourages so many essential skills such as following directions, measuring, developing hand-eye co-ordination along with other fine motor skills. And of course, making some delicious treats to take home!
Furthermore, we have the luxury of being able to offer Read, Write Inc. a phonics programme used in many schools across Lewisham. Read, Write, Inc. helps promote early reading and early writing skills and supports children’s readiness for school.
All of these wonderful learning opportunities and more are recorded through our online learning portal, Tapestry. You will be able to access your child's learning and development in the nursery through a secure app. You can also upload your child’s learning and development at home too.
We very much look forward to warmly welcoming you to our amazing rainbow nursery!
