Castle Kindergarten

In Washington at Albany, Sunderland at Hylton Castle, Durham at Sacriston, and Bishop Auckland's Staindrop.
We aim to provide each child with a caring environment which is a safe, stimulating and very happy day-time alternative to home.
Indoor and outdoor areas allow children to play, explore, discover and create in safe, secure and inviting surroundings.
Castle Kindergarten also provides after school care for young children, in its settings.
We provide a rich outdoor environment full of irresistible stimuli, contexts for play and physical activity, exploration, talk and plenty of real experiences and contact with the natural world and with the community.
Each day our children experience beautiful objects, interesting objects, unusual objects our kindergartens are filled with these.
We recognise parents as the first and most important educators of their children.
All of our staff firmly believe in working in partnership with parents to provide care and education for their children.
We provide activities for parents and children to share together at home and we have a good system for parents to pass on information to let us know about what their children have been enjoying at home.
All children - babies, toddlers and those getting ready for their next step into primary school form secure bonds with their care givers.
