From the The Ark Nursery
In the centre of Stamford, Lincolnshire, The Ark operates two day nurseries that are both close to primary school campuses, as well as a forest school. Both provide full-day care for children ages 0 to 5. For eligible two-year-olds, funded spaces are available, and financing for 15 or 30 hours is available for children aged 3 to 4.
When playing alongside adults, kids develop positive relationships with them, cuddle up to them for story time, and speak to them with assurance. Children show signs of safety and security.
We strive to offer a secure, caring, and engaging environment at The Ark. Each child receives equal treatment and is welcomed into a cosy, homey setting where they are respected for who they are. Children are encouraged to grow at their own rate, with carefully planned activities and opportunities based on their aptitudes and interests.
