RGS Dodderhill Nursery

RGS Dodderhill Nursery is a warm, happy and nurturing place where children feel safe, valued and excited to learn.

Set within the grounds of RGS Dodderhill School in Droitwich Spa, our term time nursery for children aged 2 to 4 offers a calm and caring environment where little ones can play, explore, build friendships and grow in confidence at their own pace.

With small group sizes and experienced staff, every child is truly known as an individual. We take the time to understand each child’s personality, interests and needs, helping them to feel secure, settled and ready to take their first steps into nursery life.

A Warm Welcome

A very warm welcome to RGS Dodderhill Nursery and thank you for visiting our website.

We are a small, nurturing nursery where children quickly feel part of a familiar and supportive community. From their very first days, children are gently encouraged to explore, discover new experiences and develop confidence through play, creativity and everyday moments of learning.

There is a real sense of warmth and happiness throughout the nursery. Children enjoy messy play, outdoor adventures, story times, music, dance and hands-on activities, while building strong relationships with the staff who care for them each day.

Our children are happy, secure and excited to come to nursery each morning, while giving parents complete confidence that their child is known, supported and cared for.

Learning and Development

Our days are thoughtfully structured to provide a balance of free play, group activities and new experiences.

Children take part in a variety of activities, including:

  • Music and movement
  • Creative play and hands-on activities

These experiences help children develop key skills while keeping learning enjoyable and meaningful.

Space to Explore

Children benefit from access to outdoor spaces and opportunities to spend time outside each day.

Whether exploring, being active or simply enjoying fresh air, outdoor play is an important part of developing confidence, curiosity and physical skills.

Our aim is to give every child a strong and confident start.

Through supportive relationships and a carefully balanced approach to learning, children develop the skills they need for their next stage, including:

  • Confidence in new situations
