Early Years

Dunn Street Primary offers flexible hours in our  fully inclusive Nursery unit with an excellent team of staff that are part of our Primary School. The Nursery unit consists of a wonderfully resourced indoor and outdoor environment that will challenge and motivate your child.  A range of activities will be provided that will stimulate and develop your child’s inquisitiveness for learning.  You will be involved every step of the way and will be kept up to date with information and learning opportunities for you and your child.  At Dunn Street we work with you so that your child receives the best possible start in their learning journey.  We have fantastic links with the local community and have weekly visits to the nearby library to enhance your child’s language and literacy skills.

Once children enter our Reception class they are able to continue their learning journey where we believe all children should have the opportunity to develop physically, verbally, cognitively and emotionally in an enabling and inclusive environment. We aim for our children to be confident, independent, successful learners who believe in themselves and interact positively with others.

We offer a curriculum which is aspirational and rich in wonder and memorable experiences. We strive to provide a stimulating environment which promotes exciting opportunities, challenge, exploration, adventure and a real love of learning. We understand that play is an integral part of learning and this is at the heart of our early years curriculum. We believe that the correct mix of adult directed, and child-initiated play ensures the best outcomes for pupils.
