Covid-19 - We have procedures in place to keep children, staff and parents safe.
Our Penge and Anerley settings offers three different children's rooms - Babies, Toddlers, and Pre-school. Within these rooms our children enjoy structured play and creative activities with equipment and resources designed for their age and stage of development. We provide balanced meals which are cooked onsite and a varied menu. Please see our sample menu on the website. We encourage children to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables throughout the day.
Nursery owners Natasha (M.Sc, B.A Hons) and Daniella (B.Sc/B.A Hons) have over 20 years’ experience in childcare and hold childcare and nursery management qualifications. They are also trained in safeguarding, child protection, health & safety, paediatric first-aid and more.
We pride ourselves on the quality of care we can offer and the opportunities we provide for children to learn and develop. We value individual differences which is supported throughout each child’s stage of development.
We work with qualified and experienced nursery practitioners who update their training regularly
and are DBS checked annually.

Safeguarding statement
Safeguarding the children in our care is paramount to our team at Blue Pear Day Nursery and
pre-School. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Our attitudes and values towards the well-being and development of our children is promoted at every opportunity. We believe that every child has a right to learn in a supportive, caring and safe environment which includes the right to protection from all types of abuse. Staff are trained to be vigilant for signs of any child in distress and are confident sharing information to relevant team members or professionals in order to avert and alleviate any such problems.
Safeguarding children is about ensuring every child is safe from harm - safe from people who could abuse, safe from discrimination or harassment – and that we all feel safe in our environment.
Parents and carers are welcome to read the Policy on request. Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our children are discussed with his/her parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare. If a member of staff is concerned about a child’s welfare, they will record their concern with any observations or conversation heard, and report to a manager/DSL as soon as possible/the same day.
If a member of staff has concerns which relate to the actions or behaviour of another member of staff (which could suggest that she/he is unsuitable to work with children) then this will be reported to one of the DSLs in confidence, who will refer and seek advice from Bromley LADO who will consider what action to take.
