Dottie Tots in Crondall 

We are an established nursery school located in the beautiful village of Crondall, surrounded by open fields, ancient woodlands & incredible wildlife. Dottie Tots Crondall's overarching principles focus on the natural environment, nature & sustainability.

We have sole use of approximately 2.3 acres of woodland. Which supports our classrooms in being connected directly to the stunning outdoor environments enabling continuous free flow provision. Classroom interiors are laid out to create snug home-from-home environments.  All areas provide opportunities for each child to develop as a unique individual.

Our carbon footprint is extremely important to us, we discourage single use plastic, create a high proportion of our own resources from recycled & repurposed materials to inspire wonder amongst our children & parents!  All our learning resources are authentic, traditional and natural keeping a calm and welcoming environment for all children and their families.

 

The philosophy of all our settings is to provide child-centred education with a heuristic approach to learning & development, led by a team of fully qualified teachers. Here at Crondall we offer children endless learning opportunities which are complemented by the range of education styles we use such as Montessori, Forest School Approach, Reggio Emilia and the Curiosity and the Froebelian Approaches. They all work beautifully together as they are all holistic and child centred, which works well with the ethos of Dottie Tots.

 

We encourage children to navigate an environment where they have choices, they have time to explore their play and they spend as much time outside as possible. Children learn best when encapsulated in the great outdoors with equipment and activities where they can explore, seek delight, role play, move freely, sit in a den, and take risks (fully risk assessed of course!). Children need natural objects and everyday items to learn about their world and dedicated, well qualified educators who can support, enhance and navigate their development with them.

 

We aim to nurture the uniqueness of each child, meet individual needs through a relaxed learning atmosphere where children feel safe and secure. Through play & exploration we encourage confidence, self-motivation, autonomy.  

 

At Crondall, there is the opportunity to utilise full 15 or 30 hour funding entitlement for 2, 3 & 4 year olds. We are open term-time Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm.
