The Nursery School

Dorking Nursery School and Children’s Centre is the only maintained nursery school in Dorking. It is for children aged 2-5 years. It has been at the heart of the Dorking community since 1939. The nursery have been rated ‘outstanding’ in the last six Ofsted inspections. They are designated as a National Support School by the Department for Education. They are selected to support schools in challenging circumstances and to train new teachers. Additionally, the Children’s Centre is an invaluable resource for local families from birth onwards. For example offering support and advice as well as activities and courses.

In line with other maintained schools, funding has become increasingly difficult. The centre has had to use state funding for operational costs. Therefore leaving very little for improvement of facilities. They engage in regular fundraising activities to provide new equipment for all the children to enjoy.

The latest project funded by Aviva focused on health and well-being. Furthermore they are using the funds to extend their outdoor spaces that support sensory play. Similarly learners enjoy getting their hands on playing with mud and water. This is also developing important physical, social and emotional skills.  Their enhanced outdoor spaces promote physical activity. I addition it builds confidence and more opportunities for developing life skills.

It was a pleasure to visit the centre. I met the staff and some of the gorgeous children who are enjoying the wonderful new outdoor spaces.

Comment

After the session the head teacher commented.  “Wow, Nicola – thank you so much for the photographs. These are just gorgeous. I love them”. My pleasure I hope that the pictures are useful. Furthermore that you have continued success in your applications for funding in the future. It’s great to see companies such as Aviva supporting our local communities. Making a real difference to the lives of the next generation.

Having taken a range of pictures for Busylizzy parent and child classes a few years ago,  I was delighted to be asked by well known brand Rugbytots to capture the essence of their fun brand at their rugby classes. Rugbytots offer weekly play sessions for boys and girls aged 2-7 years. I spent a really great morning at their classes in Dulwich. This was capturing a range of ages across three different morning classes. It was clear to see just how much fun the children were having.  The coaches were fantastic, so fun and engaging, energetic and very professional.

I wish I had know about these classes when my children were smaller! I think they would have loved them. Plus it would have tired them out so to aid a good nights sleep!

I am delighted with the range of pictures that I captured and so please with the response from Rugbytots.

Their thoughts after

They said after “The pictures are GREAT!!! we love them. So colourful, they show great diversity and there’s lots of perfectly captured smiles. Thank you so much.”
