Nursery & Pre-Prep

Nursery, Reception & Year 1 & 2

The Dumpton Nursery and Pre-Prep aims to give your child the very best start in life.

It is a delightful ‘school within a school’ where children are allowed to develop at their own pace, building confidence and self-esteem along the way. Experienced and committed staff, and small classes, ensure that children are kept happy and busy, building a love of learning and a respect for others that will last a lifetime. In its own dedicated building within the beautiful Dumpton site, there is a special atmosphere, always full of smiles and a sense of purpose.

All children are extremely happy and settled...

...in the setting’s safe, nurturing environment.

We are afraid, they said.
Come to the edge, he said.
They came to the edge.
He pushed them and they flew.’
Guillaume Apollinaire
