Welcome to Meredale Day Nursery

Meredale Day Nursery is set on its own within the grounds of an Independent School in Rainham, Kent. This allows the nursery to benefit from the expansive playgrounds and facilities of the school both internally and externally. A number of these areas are sheltered enabling the children to play outside, safely whatever the weather.

It offers the same care, affection and attention as your child receives at home and provides a comprehensive range of childcare services tailored specifically for every different age group and delivered in a deeply caring way.

Meredale operates from a purpose built single storey facility which has been designed solely around young children from 0-5 years of age. The rooms are bright, well designed and thoughtfully laid out.

Each age group has their own fully equipped room, together with a dedicated care team and carefully planned range of activities both indoor and out. It’s recently refurbished modern, safe external play areas ensure your child will benefit from the nursery’s surroundings, whilst having fun. All the rooms are bright with specific areas for active play, and eating, sleeping and quiet times.

It retains an extensive, modern range of toys and activities, plenty of which are messy and focused enjoyment and achievement.

It has recently expanded its four plus rooms allowing these older children a more private environment where activities are more focused upon preparing them for their next school. This facility is flexible and we work closely with the Schools within its catchment area. Here we are able to fit in with local school entrance practices, picking up from these schools and bringing the children back to nursery if they start on a part time basis.

It has excellent team of long term staff the manager has been with the company for 10 years.
