Our Nursery
Where Learning Begin
Our nursery is purpose built in the beautiful location of Swanley park! Our building completed in October 2023 with a natural design in keeping with the park. We have rooms specifically designed with the highest quality facilities for the child’s age range, including a tailor made baby room and a large garden for outdoor learning and play! We have children attend our nursery from 3 months old until they leave for school.
We are open from 7am until 7pm and are walking distance from Swanley Railway Station, the local library, fire station and supermarkets, we often take our children out on local trips to these places. We also take pride in planning trips to places such as the farm and the beach. Our local community is part of our nursery life.

Got questions? We’re here to help! Check out our FAQs for answers to common inquiries about our nursery services, curriculum, enrollment process.
What is taught in the nursery?
At Dawn to Dusk Day Nursery, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which is the government’s framework for learning and development for children from birth to five years old.
Children learn best through play, so we offer a play-based curriculum where they explore, discover, and develop at their own pace. Our staff carefully plan activities based on each child’s interests and needs, helping them grow in all areas of learning.
The EYFS includes seven key areas of learning:
1. Personal, Social and Emotional Development – Learning to build friendships, manage
feelings, and become confident.
2. Physical Development – Developing movement, coordination, and healthy habits.
3. Communication and Language – Listening, understanding, and speaking clearly.
4. Literacy – Enjoying stories and starting to read and write.
5. Mathematics – Exploring numbers, shapes, and patterns.
6. Understanding the World – Learning about people, places, nature, and technology.
7. Expressive Arts and Design – Being creative through art, music, role play, and dance.
Each child has a Key Person who supports their learning and development. We also work closely
with parents to make sure children feel safe, happy, and ready for school and beyond.
