Darfield Preschool and Nursery caters for up to 12 infants (under 2 years) and up to 37 toddlers and pre-schoolers (2 years and over) in a spacious setting on the outskirts of Darfield.
We have a special Nursery area for the under twos, with its own dedicated outside area. Our Nursery operates a primary caregiver policy, whereby each child is assigned a primary caregiver who has the main responsibility for caring for your child.
Preschool children over two enjoy a very large outdoor area that promotes physical activity, exploration and appreciation of their natural world. The inside areas, including a spacious covered deck area, are very well resourced and children are always able to find something to extend their interests and enjoyment.
We operate under excellent teacher to child ratios of 1:3 in the Nursery and 1:8 in the Preschool which are better than those required by legislation.
Families are always welcomed at the centre and your input is valued. You are encouraged to spend time with your child/ren and any skills or interests you may have to share are greatly appreciated. You may also consider becoming more involved with the running of the centre by becoming a Board of Trustees member.
