Always Growing Cippenham

Why Cippenham families choose us

• Make the most of your funded hours. We welcome 2-year-old funding, 15 hours and 30 hours, and we'll help you check what you're entitled to.
• Ready for school. Independence, confidence, friendships and early language are at the heart of every day, and parents tell us how smoothly their children move on to school.
• Every child is known. Each child has a key person who knows them well, and a caring core team who have been with us for years.
• Weekly themes. Varied themes keep every week interesting, with a weekly update so you can see what your child has been learning.
• You're kept in the loop. A proper chat at pick-up and updates through the Famly app.
• Babies and toddlers welcome too. We now take children from 9 months.

"My children love going and always seem happy, safe and content!" Parent, Cippenham

A day at Always Growing Cippenham

Children arrive at 9am to a warm welcome from their key person. The morning mixes free play with small-group activities linked to the week's theme, stories, songs and time outdoors. Children who stay all day have their packed lunch together, then the afternoon brings more play, activities and preparing for home time at 3pm. Children can come for a morning, an afternoon or the full day.

"There are varied activities and good communication, including a weekly update I always looked forward to reading." Parent, Cippenham
