Our Barking Nursery
About our Barking nursery
Our Barking nursery is located in a large park on the outskirts of Barking town centre, within walking distance of Barking train station which has direct links into London.
Our nursery offers a range of engaging and inclusive activities to ensure that your child’s day is fun, educational, and exciting. The nursery has three rooms, Little Owls are based downstairs with two rooms, these rooms are for children from 3 months up to the age of 3 years. Great Eagles are based upstairs for children from 3 years up to school age.
We have two Little Owls rooms. One is dedicated to our babies, from 3 months to 2 years. The second, our toddler room is specifically for children from 2-3 years. These rooms have been designed to meet the needs of our babies and toddlers with sensory areas within the rooms to help with child development.
Our Great Eagles pre-school caters for the needs of children from 3 years until they are ready to start school.
We use a curiosity approach to support children with their education, social skills, and preparation for school. Taking the curiosity approach, we aim to minimise the use of plastic and focus on natural resources and real-life objects, as we believe children learn best from real experiences.
The outside area offers a safe and stimulating environment for the children to play and learn while surrounded by nature. In addition to this we are also located within a large park. This gives us plenty of opportunities to visit the play area and feed the ducks.
