Why Choose RGS Dodderhill Nursery?
Choosing a nursery is one of the most important decisions for your child.
At RGS Dodderhill Nursery, we offer a high-quality approach focused on care, relationships and early development.
A Happy, Nurturing Start
From the moment children arrive, they are welcomed into a warm, caring environment where they feel safe, valued and loved. Our small Nursery means every child is truly known, helping them settle quickly and grow in confidence.
Kind, Caring Staff Who Really Know Your Child
Strong relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Our experienced Early Years team takes time to understand each child’s personality, interests and needs, so every child feels supported, encouraged and understood.
Learning Through Play, Curiosity and Discovery
Children learn best when they are happy and engaged. Through a mix of playful activities, gentle adult guidance and child-led exploration, we encourage curiosity, creativity and a natural love of learning every day.
Building Confidence and Independence
We gently encourage children to try new things, solve problems and feel proud of their achievements. By celebrating effort and supporting children through challenges, we help them grow in confidence and independence at their own pace.
Amazing Outdoor Adventures Every Day
With over seven acres of beautiful grounds, an adventure play area and a dedicated outdoor classroom, children enjoy daily outdoor play in all seasons. Weekly ‘Welly Wednesday’ Forest School sessions encourage exploration, confidence and a real connection with nature.
Working in Partnership with Parents
We know how important it is for parents to feel informed and reassured. Through daily updates, regular conversations and open communication, we work closely with families to support each child’s development and wellbeing.
Supporting Feelings, Friendships and Social Skills
We place great importance on helping children understand their feelings, share, take turns and build friendships. These early social skills help children feel happy, settled and ready to enjoy learning with others.
Calm, Beautiful Spaces Designed for Young Children
Our purpose designed Nursery provides calm, welcoming spaces where children can play, rest, create and explore. With easy access to safe outdoor areas, children can move naturally between indoor and outdoor learning throughout the day.
Gentle Routines That Help Children Feel Secure
Familiar routines help children feel safe and confident. Our days are carefully structure to provide a balance of play, activity, rest and quiet time, giving children the reassurance they need to thrive.
A Place Where Your Child Will Love to Be
Above all, we want children to be excited to come to Nursery each day. When children feel happy, confident and cared for, they flourish – and that strong emotional foundation supports everything that follows in their learning journey
Nutritious, Delicious Food – Freshly Cooked On Site
Healthy eating is an important part of happy early years. Our meals are freshly cooked each day on site by leading school caterer Holroyd Howe, using high-quality British ingredients sourced locally wherever possible. Nursery children sit together in the dining room for lunch, helping them build confidence, independence and good table manners. Menus are balanced and varied, gently encouraging children to try new flavours, and our friendly catering team is experienced in supporting all dietary needs and allergies.
good manners, caring for friends and high standards of behaviour are encouraged and rewarded.
