Welcome

Welcome to Carmel Caterpillars Pre School Sittingbourne, Kent. We offer a safe, stimulating, fun and exciting environment where infants will develop a positive sense of self worth and secure attachments by participating in a safe, nurturing learning environment.

Carmel Caterpillars Preschool is the perfect venue for letting your child’s mind and heart grow with knowledge and emotional fulfilment. We have a breadth of child care knowledge and experience along with a wide selection  of educational resources, essential for enhancing the development of your child.

We work using the Early Years Foundation Stage and within a framework which encourages equality of opportunity for all children and their families. We provide the best possible care for your child, in our parent-involved, community based setting.

We would love you and your child to come and visit us and we can now offer limited access visits. So please do call 07946547347 to arrange a visit to meet us! 

In June we had a Brilliant Ofsted Inspection  with a GOOD rating, receiving praise for our high quality of teaching and learning with our enthusiastic and motivated staff team! The link to our Ofsted Report is here using our code 127083 here 

In a recent ECERS (Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale) review we scored a fantastic maximum score of 7 in 11 provisions. I have listed details of this and also attached a very complimentary letter from the Corporate Director from Early Years Childcare, KCC in our 'For Parents' section. 

We have a virtual walk through of the hall on our Facebook site (Carmel Caterpillars) so that you can see how we are set up in-line with the Governments Safety Guidelines, so please take a look. And remember it doesn't matter how young your precious ones are, we now have a waiting list up to September 2023!

There are also some lovely comments from our recent graduating caterpillars in the For Parents tab, so please take a look.

Latest News/Upcoming Events

 A BIG welcome back all our lovely families, we hope you all had a great Summer! 

We will be continuing to help keep Pre-school a safe place by staggering your dropping off and collecting times and asking parents to still wear your masks.

We have new families joining us very soon and we know you will make them feel very welcome. Exciting times ahead....  

I now have waiting lists for September 2022 and 2023, so if you know of any little ones please do come and get a form from me anytime! xJo

The best way to tell whether you like a nursery is to come along and see it for yourself, just give us a call. You can also drop us an email with any questions or visit our group facebook site to comments from our parents.

We have a very experienced, enthusiastic staff whose priority at all times is the well-being and development of your child.

Throughout the year, we hold various fun activities for everyone to enjoy. These include our Spring Fayre, Parents pancake race, Summer Outing, Christmas Craft day and Nativity. At the end of the school year we always hold a Leavers Graduation.
