Educating Children from Nursery to 13 Years
MEET THE TEAM
At South Lee we pride ourselves on the warm, caring, nurturing atmosphere we create for the children in our care. We would like you to see for yourself the exciting, bright setting of which your child could be a part of. In our experience, a happy, settled child is a child who will flourish, learn and grow into a confident, secure individual. Children leave our Early Years as independent little people ready for the next step in their education.
It is important that the adults caring for your child are suitably qualified, with a strong commitment to further training. It is also very important to us that the staff have patience, understanding and an acute awareness and love of children.
We strive to provide a stimulating environment both indoors and outdoors that allows the children in our care to maximise their potential in all areas of their learning. We encourage learning through exploration and discovery, putting in place firm foundation in supporting our children with their exciting learning journey with all its adventures, challenges, and achievements.
We warmly invite you to visit us and experience first-hand what our Early Years Department can offer you and your child!
