About us
Noah's Ark was initially opened as a small playgroup in Birchington village and moved onto the school site in 1996.
We aim to support families with their childcare needs across our breakfast club, nursery, after school club and summer holiday club and are open for children aged 9months - 11years. We are open 8am-6pm during term times and have various sessions available across the day.
At Noahs Ark we provide a wide range of activities that encourage the development of social, physical, language and intellectual skills, helping your child to become confident and independent. Each child is assigned a ker person who will plan activities around each child's individual interests and next steps plus also ensuring they have lots of fun, laughter and cuddles during the day.
We aim to promote and develop each child to their full potential in a safe, secure environment in partnership with the parents/carers. Noahs Ark is well equipped with resources to encourage exploration and stimulation through active learning.
We use the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) development matters to track and monitor each child's unique abilities and development which can be found by CLICKING HERE https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64e6002a20ae890014f26cbc/DfE_Development_Matters_Report_Sep2023.pdf
