About this day nursery

Down in The Woods Pre-School Ltd, located in Wimborne, offers an outstanding early years provision for children aged 2 to 4 years. 30pm during term time, the pre-school also provides an after-school club until 6pm and a holiday club during school breaks.

Leaders at Down in The Woods have developed an ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum, primarily focusing on core learning areas to ensure children acquire essential skills for their future education. Staff deliver this curriculum effectively through both planned activities and spontaneous interactions, demonstrating an expert understanding of how different learning areas connect.

For example, children develop both larger and smaller physical skills in preparation for early writing, such as building arm strength through climbing before engaging in intricate tasks like peeling stickers. The pre-school encourages problem-solving from an early age, allowing children to test their own ideas, like exploring concepts of size and weight with toy figures on a see-saw.

The staff are highly skilled in early mathematical concepts, integrating them into daily routines such as snack time discussions about size, volume, and weight.
