The nursery opens at 08:35, when children are welcomed by their key person. You’ll help settle your child as they hang up their coat and find their name and photo on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A broad range of play-based learning activities are already set up around the spacious indoor classroom, so any tearful goodbyes are quickly forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once everyone has arrived, they join their group for “carpet time” and a welcome song before continuing their play inside or outside as they choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our experienced practitioners respond to what each child is enjoying that day, tailoring activities to their interests and developmental needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At snack time, the children are encouraged to help prepare a selection of fruit, veggies and breadsticks \u2013 serving themselves and each other and pouring their own water, which is freely available throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunchtime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The morning session finishes at 11:35. For those staying for a full day, lunchtime is a social learning experience, with children eating family-style, setting the table, and tidying up afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunchtime at Dulwich Wood Nursery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our staff encourage conversations and offer assistance as needed. Lunch is free and freshly prepared by Dulwich Wood Primary School<\/a>, with vegetarian options always available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Afternoon session<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After lunch, children return to the indoor and outdoor spaces, as their key workers ensure a nurturing environment that supports each child’s growth, independence, and overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nursery finishes at 15:35, when children are collected \u2013 brimming with excitement to share all they’ve done and made, and generally covered with a layer of mud, paint, glitter or all three!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many families enjoy visiting the nearby playground after nursery, or stopping by Kingswood Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emu Club<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For families needing wrap-around care, we offer an optional breakfast club starting at 7:30am. Children joining the breakfast club are cared for at Dulwich Wood Primary School until 8:35am, when they are brought over to the nursery to start their day with their peers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the nursery day ends, we also provide an optional after-school club. Children are accompanied to the primary school, where they are cared for until 6pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
