Nurturing Child Development Through Play

Empowering Every Child’s Unique Developmental Journey

At Rough Common Pre-School we offer a homely atmosphere alongside a safe and nurturing environment in which to learn.

Welcome to Rough Common Pre-School. Located in the village of Rough Common, Canterbury we are a privately run Pre-School and Nursery offering places to children aged from 6 months to 5 years. We are open 38 weeks of the year from 8am until 4.30pm.

We offer a welcoming home from home atmosphere, where the children can play and learn in a safe and nurturing environment.

Our children are at the centre of everything that we do; we value them all as unique individuals. We believe that children learn best when they are stimulated and able to follow their own interests, making choices for themselves about their learning journey.

This is best achieved through play-based experiences, where the children are given the opportunity to explore their own interests, enquire, question, plan and take risks which in turn leads to high levels of wellbeing and involvement.
