The staff care about the children so much, and the children all seem to really love the staff. Our eldest son went to another local nursery, but wish that we had sent him to Dolphins, they are at another level from other nurseries. Would highly recommend going there for a visit and you will see how happy and content the children who go there are.",

SEND provision

Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are given appropriate support which helps them to make excellent progress in their learning and development. Leaders and staff work closely with outside professionals to ensure all children, including children with SEND, receive the support they need.

Outdoor space

Children develop an excellent understanding of what it means to be fit and healthy. Staff have developed a unique programme of exercise which involves a 'Daily Mile' before lunch. Children and staff take part in this enjoyable daily exercise around the adjoining sports field.

I was recommended Dolphins by a few friends who said nothing but amazing things. I went a viewed and knew it was the right place for us! First term in and my daughter is thriving, all staff are loving, kind and genuine. I settled my daughter in at ease and saw how kind the children&staff were to each other. Dolphins really is a place of safe, fun, love and joy the staff really care.

Amazing pre-school, our son went there for one school year and transformed from a shy, quiet child who didn't like playing with other children into a confident child with lots of friends who is now looking forward to starting school. The staff care about the children so much, and the children all seem to really love the staff. Our eldest son went to another local nursery, but wish that we had sent him to Dolphins, they are at another level from other nurseries. Would highly recommend going there for a visit and you will see how happy and content the children who go there are.

Both myself and my brother attended Dolphins over 30 years ago. After visiting the setting, I knew it was the right choice for my daughter too. This beautiful family business has supported and nurtured my child for the past 2 years and she really has blossomed. The staff, teaching and facilities are exceptional. Highly recommend!

Our two youngest children have loved their time at Dolphins - it is such a happy and caring preschool. The staff and the manager are brilliant and our kids skipped so excitedly into their Dolphins days and came out full of stories afterwards. They each made wonderful friends there and had such a smooth transition to Reception class - we are very grateful to the Dolphins team and would recommend them to anyone!

Dolphins is an absolutely brilliant preschool. Every member of staff is wonderful and our daughter is so happy here, she runs in each morning without looking back. Our daughter has made so much progress in all areas and we feel that we are very well supported to improve her learning at home.
