Our preschool
Kingdom Preschool in Whitfield, near Dover, is a full day care nursery school providing fantastic, affordable childcare between the ages of 3 months and 5 years. Established in 2016, the setting is unrivalled locally, boasting bright, individual rooms that are not only beautifully – and functionally – designed, but also equipped with all the age-appropriate resources a baby or toddler could ever need for play, development and learning.
Alongside our safe and spacious outdoor areas, which are perfect for exploration, physical activities or quiet reflection, we also offer children the all-year-round use of our fully accredited forest school, which is nestled in our very own woods directly behind the main building.
And the icing on the cake (literally 😊) are our fantastic in-house chefs, who prepare us all delicious and freshly cooked meals in the on-site professional kitchen.
Our team – embracing the Kingdom spirit!
