Education at our Dorchester Preschool

Early Years Education at Our Nursery

Dorchester Community Nursery School offers a large range of stimulating activities and experiences to cater for your child’s emotional, physical and social development, both individually and within groups.
At the Nursery, we believe in learning through purposeful play. We base our planning on the Government initiatives of the Early Years Foundation Stage, and “Birth to 3 Matters”.
She/he will enjoy regular craft activities, using paint, glue, scissors, etc., and a wide range of materials such as paper, card, fabric, wood, clay and playdough.
The Nursery has a good selection of construction toys and puzzles and the music and book corners are ready to be enjoyed at any time.
Scope for imaginative play comes in the home/dressing up corner, the shop and the hospital, which on another day may be a police station or post office! Our sand and water play are always popular activities.
All children have regular opportunities to use the Nursery computer, digital camera, and camcorder.
Older children also do a range of pre-school activities in a quieter situation, providing experiences of early writing, reading and maths skills.
The Nursery has a large safe enclosed garden with tricycles, other ride on toys, wendy house, slide and climbing activities, adventure castle, willow tunnel and vegetable garden.
