RGS Dodderhill Nursery

We highly recommend!!

We're so grateful for everything they've done for our child and would highly recommend this nursery to any parents.

I could rave about RGS Dodderhill Nursery & Pre School all day. They are a wonderful setting, they individualise each child's care and needs and my husband and I are a thrilled with how our daughter has progressed with them since April 24. The rooms are not over crowded and every single team member is so lovely and knowledgable in what they do. You can tell they all love their jobs and are passionate about what they are doing. We cannot wait for our next daughter to start when she is old enough. Thank you all!

Small class sizes mean each child and their needs are very well known and met.

Since my daughter started the nursery in January 2026, aged 2 1/2 years she has come on leaps and bounds. We felt she was falling behind at her previous nursery and we are so glad we decided to move her to RGS Dodderhill. She is becoming so much more independent and she is talking alot more. The teachers aren't there to just look after them, they actually teach and encourage the kids from 2 years of age, unlike most other nurseries. A lovely nursery in such a lovely setting.

Staff are very caring and we are always updated on each day's progress and activities.

Staff offer feedback from the day and regularly check in that everything is ok, this is reassuring as a parent that my child is happy and cared for, and it's always nice hearing about her day.

A wonderful nursery where our daughter has flourished. The teachers and all staff are completely dedicated to the best and the range of experiences are wide. We couldn't have put our daughter in a better place or in better hands.

I can not rate RGS Dodderhill Nursery highly enough. Our daughter is absolutely thriving there. She runs into nursery every morning happily, all of the staff are attentive and know each child personally. The range of activities on offer are always well thought through and there are lots of opportunities like the Harvest Festival, Christmas Nativity and Fathers Day to go in to the nursery and get involved with your child's learning and witness the magic that goes on daily.

I can not fault this nursery in anyway! They are simple amazing. This is my second time using them. My middle daughter started with them back during Covid and they were fantastic with her considering how shy and reserved she was! My youngest daughter started in January this year and she loves it. Range of activities and clubs is so varied and suitable for all children. Even their toddler group 'ducklings' that we often attended beforehand is excellent. The food for lunches and the cakes; that sometimes even the parents can indulge in; delicious. Every member of staff is polite and engaging, even the headmaster. What a wonderful place for a child to spend time in. Holiday club accessible and easy to book! If you can send your child here they will learn so much!

All staff at RGS Dodderhill Nursery are exceptional. My daughter has been made to feel welcome, safe and has been given the support and opportunity to explore and learn through play. Their variety of activities and ideas are very individual and always child-led.

Our son has been attending RGS Dodderhill now for a few months. It took him a little while to settle in which i imagine is normal but the teachers were so accommodating and were very supportive towards him and us when he went in upset initially. I really appreciated the communication from the teachers with a phone call or message to know he had settled down and was absolutely fine. He goes in with no concerns at all now as he loves it. All the teachers are so lovely and we feel really comfortable leaving him with them and have no concerns at all. He has a lot of fun at nursery and does so many activities. It is wonderful to see all the photos and updates each day he attends. I would 100% recommend RGS Dodderhill to any parent.

I have only given 4 stars for the outside space as their play ground is probably due an update/renewal of a few items.

I absolutely cannot speak highly enough about Dodderhill Nursery. Ever since my daughter began attending, I've had complete peace of mind knowing she's in good hands. The staff are not only kind but incredibly skilled, and she's thriving beyond my wildest expectations. Most importantly, she's genuinely happy and enjoys her time there immensely! I'm delighted with the nursery.

Excellent, friendly staff who are happy to see the children every day. They are caring and passionate about their nursery and the care they provide. Excellent facilities and always improving.

RGS Dodderhill is an amazing nursery! My daughter has been there since she was two (two years) and the staff are wonderful. My daughter is so happy there. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a caring and nurturing environment with a true family feel. The staff are fantastic!

My little boy has been attending this nursery for 2 years now. I cannot praise the school, the staff, the setting and all of the other children enough. It’s not very often that you hit 5 stars in every area I’ve mentioned. My son is so happy here and has previously attended other settings but none are comparable. He settled in so well and it’s safe to say that the staff have nurtured him throughout his whole journey. The nursery has a structure which has been great, yet there’s so much flexibility if that is not your child’s choice that day. As my child has got older, the choice of activities from french, music, pe, phonics and lots of play, has given him the best start in life. Then I can mention all the extras like festive celebrations and sports days. The food is top quality and the caring side of the staff is impeccable. The holiday club is a complete reassurance that our son can spend the time we need him to with his friends out of term time. We will be sad to leave.

RGS Dodderhill is an excellent nursery. My daughter settled in very well and talks about all the teachers in a lovely way. She has made lots of friends and comes home buzzing about what she has been up to. It is great that each day they have a specific focus, for example, phonics, maths or forest school. The teachers, at the end of the day, tell us exactly what they have done in the day, and the rapport between parent/teacher is second to none.

My son has attended RGS Dodderhill for the past two years. He joined at age two and a half. Not only is the nursery and staff excellent, caring, supportive and nurturing; they have given him a wonderful all-round education from phonic to ballet. The nursery offers a wonderful and gentle introduction to school without losing the elements of play. I would recommend the nursery to anyone, and we are all sad to say goodbye.

We are so happy we moved our son to Dodderhill when we did. He has developed so much since he moved from another nursery and compared to his previous nursery it is like night and day. All of the staff are incredible and go above and beyond every single day. I cannot rate them highly enough and I wish we would have enrolled him sooner.
