Dunswell Playgroup

About this day nursery

Dunswell Playgroup, located in Dunswell Hull, HU6 0AD, is a childcare setting on non-domestic premises that provides a good standard of early years education for children aged 2–4 years. 30pm on Friday, ensuring children settle quickly into their play with friends and favourite resources upon arrival.

Staff greet children warmly and support their play effectively, fostering a secure and happy environment. The dedicated team, many of whom hold level 3 early years qualifications, work well together, focusing on children's holistic development, including their behaviour, attitudes, and personal growth.

They demonstrate an understanding of what children need to learn, identifying progress in areas such as fine motor skills and early literacy. The playgroup effectively supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, with staff discussing their provision with inspectors.

While the outdoor playground is used when safe, leaders prioritise children's physical development by utilising the sports hall for large-scale activities when maintenance is required for outdoor areas. Children are encouraged to make independent choices and learn good manners within established routines.

The setting also focuses on fostering early literacy skills and extending vocabulary, ensuring a rich learning experience for all children.
