OPENING HOURS

MISSION STATEMENT

The Nursery is a Christian Charity that supports families in caring for their young children. We do this through the high quality care and purposeful play activities we provide.

Queensway Chapel Nursery has cared and educated pre-school aged children in partnership with their parents for over 30 years. We are a Christian charity, with strong links to Queensway Chapel and Canberra Children Centre.

Initially set up as a small playgroup in the Church hall at Queensway Chapel, it evolved and grew into Pre-School and then grew further to become a Nursery offering full day care in its own purpose built building.

 Aims and Objectives

To enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age in the Melksham and neighboring area consistent with the principles of the Christian religion by:

1. Creating a caring, safe and happy atmosphere where children and their families feel safe and secure.

2. Providing a wide range of purposeful play activities that help children to develop to their full potential.

3. Encouraging the children to consider others before themselves and to know the difference between right and wrong, respecting all races, religions and ways of life, so helping them to develop a caring attitude.

4. Involving all staff, parents and volunteers in working together to achieve these objectives.
