About our Nursery 

Our Dartington Nursery is situated in a quiet residential area and a short drive from the A38, with easy access from places like Ivybridge, Ashburton and Buckfastleigh. Parking is available outside the nursery for the team. We encourage outdoor learning whenever possible and aim to pass on a love of the outdoors, teaching them how to care for their world and environment. Children can experience planting, growing, harvesting, and food-to-plate so they know where their food comes from. Using resources from our outdoor area, children can welcome guests to their bug hotel.

• Build meaningful relationships with children, families, and colleagues.
• Monitor and celebrate children’s development milestones, keeping records to share with parents.
• Support the day-to-day running of the nursery, maintaining high standards of hygiene, safety, and care.
