From the Dovedale Nursery
We provide "settling in" sessions to progressively get to know you and your child as well as learn more about their daily schedule and current interests at home.
We conclude the school year with a graduation ceremony to which parents are invited so that we may all commemorate your child's accomplishments.
The EYFS early learning objectives and the children's next stages serve as the foundation for ideas.
You can leave your kids in our care before and after work thanks to our two after-school programmes (one at Moulsham's infant site and one at Oaklands Infant School, which is centred on the nursery site).
Due to increased demand, we're thrilled to announce that starting in September 2019, our new Out of School Holiday Club area will open, offering a choice of interesting and enjoyable activities for schoolchildren between the ages of 4 and 11.
