The company has been established since 1996 and has achieved a reputation for providing a consistently high standard of care. At both our
Maidstone
and
Swanley nurseries we offer a home from home family environment for your child, so if you live or work in or around either Larkfield or Swanley, look no further than Dawn to Dusk Day Nursery.
We take great pride in the fact that Dawn to Dusk Day Nursery Ltd is recognised as ‘good’ with areas of ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted and we strive to maintain our high standards. We employ staff to the highest level with Early Years Professional Status and degrees in Early Years Studies.
All the rooms at the nursery are designed with a particular age group in mind and follow a unique colour scheme. Research shows that a child's environment can have an effect on how a child learns and behaves, see www.elizabethjarmantraining.co.uk
for more details.
Each room is divided into designated stimulating areas with all the equipment being a high standard to meet all the official requirements and has been carefully chosen from the latest available ranges. There are separate, quiet areas used for certain activities, and for rest times.
Our mission, in partnership with parents is to encourage and support children to explore and discover the fascinating world around them. We provide plenty of stimulation and lots of challenging age appropriate activities both internally and externally, in a deeply caring and safe environment.
What Do Our Parents Say?
"My daughter is nearly 3 and has been going to DtoD since she was 6 months old. The staff are wonderful and are completely dedicated to ensuring your child is safe and enjoys their time while they are there. With a relatively small turnover, you get to know the staff very well and they always take the time to talk you through your child’s day. Trips to the library, park etc, or simply playing in the nursery's own garden mean they are not confined to a room all day. My daughter thoroughly enjoys going every morning and she is thriving. I can't recommend this place enough."
“My three-year-old son has been attending since he was six months old and absolutely loves it. Staff are always friendly and caring towards the children. The staff are professional and have a good knowledge of the early years curriculum. I'm glad I chose this nursery for my son and would definitely recommend it to others.”
"My Son is now 3 and has been attending Dawn to Dusk since he was 8 months old. He absolutely loves it, the staff treat him like their own relative, not just as a number. They seem to cater to each individual child's needs and development pace and provide affection, discipline and guidance to an exceptional standard. I can go to work in total confidence that my Son is in the best hands. Can't recommend this place enough."

'I saw a lot of nurseries before choosing Dawn Til Dusk after a recommendation and have been so pleased with the care and warm and friendly atmosphere. I have always felt confident with the care and my little one has developed a lot. There is hardly any staff turnover which you know is a good sign and shows there is effective management. I really like the fact that it's independent. They also provided a great settling-in routine for my little one and one thing that really comes across is how calm the staff are.'
