Nursery

Welcome to Noah’s Ark Nurseries, part of the Dolphin School Trust family.

Our warm, friendly nursery schools have: 

  • small classes
  • experienced staff 
  • a learning environment where children flourish

Dedicated staff ensure each child thrives, through creating a nurturing and stimulating environment that incites their curiosity and builds confidence.

At Noah’s Ark, we believe that:

  • every child is a unique individual with a set of talents and interests that can be supported and built upon. 
  • every child has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and unlimited potential 

Close relationships with staff are key in our nurturing environment where we are committed to encouraging and supporting children to become confident, resilient learners.

Our underlying Christian ethos: 

  • supports all we do, as we value every child and enable them all to prosper
  • fosters an environment that balances aspiration with warmth, kindness and praise. 

These first steps into school life are so important – join us to give your child the very best start on their journey into a life-long love of learning.

Throughout our nurseries we focus on: –

  • The importance of relationships
  • Creating a nurturing environment
  • Enabling success for every child
  • Creating a joy-filled learning experience and environment.

Your child’s formative years are, by definition, the most important years in their life. We know that the knowledge, behaviours and beliefs children develop at this key stage in their lives form the basis for all future learning and development. 

At Noah’s Ark we commit to providing the very best foundation for their future learning and seek to support, encourage and nurture the special partnership between school and home.

Children exhibit strong levels of independence.
