"Very effective channels of communication between staff in all areas of the centre’s work have resulted in a high quality integrated provision and a school that is the centre of the community." OFSTED May 2007
The aim of Canterbury Nursery School and Centre for Children and Families is to provide a range of high quality services that supports child and family development and responds to the interests of all children under 5 and their families in a welcoming, stimulating and positive environment.
The setting up of this web site was initially funded through the Early Excellence Programme to support the sharing of our work. Although the Early Excellence Programme no longer remains the centre is still committed to sharing our practice with others and welcomes feedback about this website.
