At our 'Outstanding' Ofsted rated nursery in Dartmouth, we believe in the power of outdoor exploration and hands-on learning. Our open plan rooms and free-flowing access to outside areas enable children to choose activities and follow their natural curiosity and individual interests in a safe and supportive environment. Following the Hygge approach, which emphasises finding well-being and contentment in the simple pleasures of everyday life, we pride ourselves on our home-from-home atmosphere and familiarity. Our Dartmouth nursery is located just off the A379 adjacent to Dartmouth Academy School. Parking is available within the school grounds.
