At Dover College, we firmly believe that the early years of a child’s education are critical in shaping their future. The experiences children have during these formative years lay the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning. In our Nursery, we nurture curiosity and creativity, fostering an enduring enthusiasm for discovery that we hope will accompany each child throughout their school journey and beyond. 

Our aim is to provide an inspiring and joyful learning experience in a caring, stimulating environment. Led by dedicated and experienced staff, each child is encouraged to explore their individual interests and talents through imaginative play and purposeful learning. We believe passionately that children should play to learn and learn through play. 

Our Nursery is an integral part of Dover College life. From making mud pies in our on-site Discovery Garden during Forest School sessions to exploring stories in the library, from early numeracy to music and PE lessons led by specialist teachers, our youngest pupils benefit from the full breadth of what the College has to offer. There is something here to excite and engage every child.
