Dolphin Nursery and Preschool in Kingston offers the very best in care and education for children aged from 3 months to 5 years. At Dolphin Nursery and Preschool we offer a friendly, comfortable, safe and welcoming environment where children are treated as individuals, allowing them to grow in independence and confidence at their own pace. Our dedicated team understand that children learn best when they are safe, supported and loved. We work hard to provide a stimulating environment where children learn through play and we follow the government's Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS) to support all aspects of learning and development and to support the transition to school.
Children are based in age appropriate rooms and are encouraged to take an active role in the design, layout and displays of work within their environment. This helps the children to develop a sense of ownership and independence within the nursery setting and to feel secure and in control of their nursery experience.
In April 2009 Dolphin Nursery were given a 'Good' rating by Ofsted. You can download the report here.
