Vision statement for Kendal Nursery School.

Brantfield promotes a high quality early years programme with clear goals and outcomes for children aged between 2 and 4 years. Brantfield’s approach provides equal opportunities for individuals, taking account of their uniqueness, values, traditions and lifestyles. Happiness and a joy for learning, taught and practiced through play, underpin the nursery’s philosophy. The children begin to gain their independence by being part of a caring community throughout their time at Brantfield.

The well qualified and committed staff at Brantfield provide high quality learning experiences through an appropriate broad balanced Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum based on play and communication. Self-esteem, confidence and well-being are fostered and respect and tolerance for peers developed through interaction and co-operation. Children leave Brantfield having had a wealth of experiences, they are happy, confident and eager to continue their education.

Full Day Care at Brantfield
Brantfield Quality Care is our onsite care provision catering for children from the age of two. It is open between 8-6pm Monday to Friday for 51 weeks of the year.
Two year old children may spend all day with our skilled care team while three year olds use BQC outside their ‘free’ session in the nursery classrooms. Parents who are working or attending college can leave children at Brantfield all day for education and care which continues in the school holidays when older siblings can also attend.
All our staff work very closely together getting to know all the children within Brantfield and working together in our outstanding garden.

Kendal’s Children’s Centre
Kendal Nursery School is part of the Children’s Centre for Kendal by providing additional services for young children and their families by organising and hosting events and meetings in our children’s centre extension.
