The Cottage Pre-School: Val Robinson Childcare

Our philosophy
Children need to be nurtured in a loving, fulfilling environment.
Learning is effortless when play and exploration is experienced through freedom of choice.

Val Robinson Childcare was established in 1981. We have two popular thriving pre-schools in Rainham offering high quality childcare and education in a safe and caring environment. The Cottage Pre-School offers 2 bright, stimulating, age appropriate rooms. Rainbow room (nursery) for 2 year olds, Ladybird room (preschool) for 3 year and 4 year olds (rising 5s). We have a purpose built garden with excellent play equipment.
Our Pre-School manager is qualified to level 6 and holds a BA Hons Degree. Our team of qualified and experienced childcare practitioners support children to learn through play, enabling them to blossom into confident, self-reliant and positive little people, forming a sound foundation for their education.
Safeguarding is of paramount importance to our setting and we were graded 'Outstanding' by OFSTED in our last inspection. All staff are DBS checked and we have CCTV in our playrooms.
We have excellent relationships with local primary schools and other professionals, enabling children to move to school with confidence.
We welcome all children including those with special educational needs and disabilities. Our door is always open, you will be sure of a warm welcome. Please visit our website www.valrobinsonchildcare.co.uk We are able to provide funded spaces for 2, 3 and 4 year olds
