Located in the historic Cooper Dean Pavilion in central Bournemouth, Dean Park Nursery cares for children aged 3 months to 5 years. The nursery opens each weekday from 8am to 6pm year-round and was rated 'Good' by Ofsted in April 2024.
The grounds and facilities are extensive, offering children wonderful indoor and outdoor learning spaces. The nursery sits on 6 acres of the former cricket pavilion and, in addition to a well-maintained green space, includes an astro-turf where older children can safely scoot, learn to cycle, and ride in their toy cars. Each age group has access to a dedicated adventure garden that has wooden play equipment for children to enjoy. A cosy reading nook, a stage for performances and even a castle are there to be explored.
Indoors, each age group has its own dedicated space where children can choose their activity. Learning follows the Early Years Foundation Stage, and parents receive updates about their child’s progress throughout the week via an interactive communication app used by the nursery.
Prospective families may arrange to meet with nursery staff and request a personal tour at any time during the week.

Trustworthy, transparent, kind and caring just a few words to describe this lovely place. The world is a hard place for families but this nursery is a power house of positivity and a safe place with the warmest atmosphere. One Nursery Practitioner I first met showed incredible kindness, and after my son coming here for a year, this is genuine, she is a force of good and an asset to the nursery. The Manager is incredibly switched on, and treats her team with respect which reflects upon her teams great attitude and motivation, in particular the Nursery Team are outstanding. The quality of staff is outstanding, these guys are trained very well, our son has speech delay they sat us all down created a program for him and actively push his ability.
I think a good nursery is kind to parents too, and honestly they are always accommodating, kind and present.They actively invest in new facilities so you see you money going back into the nursery quality.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We are truly grateful for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Dean Park is an excellent Nursery. My daughter has been going there since September 2022 and has had the most wonderful experiences there. She regularly does activities that are so interesting and teach her a lot. I'm always amazed by what she comes home with and what they've taught her. There's a real atmosphere of love and family at the nursery and they are incredibly welcoming to every member of the family. I often tell them that it takes a village to raise a child and they are firmly part of my village. The staff really clearly care about the children and they're passion for childcare really shows. Their outdoor space and attitude to outdoor play in all weathers is what set them apart for me.

Our son joined Dean Park Day Nursery in May 2024 and we could not be happier. As first-time parents our nerves and fears were quickly settled and all the staff have been incredible and supportive, guiding us along the way. Our son adores his key nursery workers and now he runs into the nursery room without a backward glance. The staff keep the app up to date so we can see everything he does from nappy changes to food and naps. Thank you!
