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. underpinned by our trained Montessori team.

​

Classrooms are connected directly to the field enabling free flow, inside & outside exploration.  We have sole use of approximately 2.3 acres of woodland which we use for regular forest style learning.  Classroom interiors are laid out to create snug home-from-home environments.  All areas provide opportunities for each child to develop as an 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 & natural keeping in rhythm with the Montessori approach & Dottie Tots ethos alike.

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.

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. From September 2023, we  will be open term-time Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm.
