Goodbye & Good Luck to our Preschool Graduates

We’re pleased to deliver a special farewell to our Preschool graduates leaving our inspiring educational day nursery in Sidcup and Belvedere to start school in September.

It was a very emotional day to see many of the children who have been with us since the opening of the nursery in 2018 marked their last day on August 31st. The children were such a joy to teach, and a bundle of energy that made us all feel like children. We are proud of their achievements over the years and their sweet memories will forever remain in our hearts. We would like to give a big thanks to all our nursery staff working tirelessly to care for children. For the parents and carers, we have truly enjoyed the partnership and thank you for the support. We have received some great feed back from many parents to congratulate and highly commend the outstanding childcare and nursery education being provided.

We wish all the children the very best of luck in their journey at primary school.
