Little Robins Nursery is a warm and welcoming Nursery providing high-quality care and delivering outstanding outcomes for their children, open Monday - Friday 8.00am - 6:00pm, 51 weeks of the year. Situated in the heart of Dorchester Town Centre, this beautiful Nursery forms an integral part of a happy, successful prep school for boys and girls aged 6 months to thirteen.

Each child is treated as an individual and staff pride themselves on nurturing children's individual talents, allowing them to embark on their own adventures - both inside and outside the classroom. Staff ensure a wealth of rich and stimulating experiences where the learning environment and teaching methods encourage each child's curiosity and interests to develop. Committed and caring staff include specialist teachers in music & dance, French, gardening and PE.

Little Robins Nursery develops happy, confident, independent and curious children who are eager to explore and will be ready to move onto the next stage of their learning journey. Being part of a school gives every child invaluable opportunities to take part in whole school activities, like school concerts, Nativity, sports day, Christingle and Harvest Festival, which prepares them for the next phase of their education.

Freshly prepared meals are offered on site, catering for allergies and special dietary requirements. Older Nursery children join the Junior Prep in the Dining Room for their lunch. Each teacher sits with their class for a family style meal.

Staff look to build strong relationships with parents and make sure that individual development is safeguarded and that they work together to ensure that every child shines. They use Famly to record each child’s progress, and have parents’ evenings each term as well as an open door policy, so that you can come and chat to the Nursery Managers whenever you need to.

Our son has been attending for a month now and we couldn't be more pleased with our choice of nursery for him. Everyone we have met has made such a special effort to help him settle in well and help the transition of what could have been a difficult time. The team in the Fledglings room are incredibly
kind and patient. The nursery host events & keep you informed which has helped us already feel like part of the community and shows their genuine care and compassion for what they do. Couldn't recommend Little Robins enough!

Upon returning to work after maternity leave I was nervous as it is my first child. Having visited several other nurseries in the area, this was the one that blew us away from the moment we came to visit when our son wasn't even born.
We immediately signed him up and haven't regretted a thing. The
initial start was hard (as it would be anywhere for any parent) but we knew he was safe, cared for and would flourish and we weren't wrong.
6 months on and he's coming on in leaps and bounds and actually reaching out for the room staff when we arrive in the morning.
Thank you for all your hard work, we do appreciate it.
Reply from Tammy Newberry, Registrar and Marketing Manager at Little Robins Nursery - Sunninghill (Previously Sunninghill Nursery)Thank you so much for your lovely review - it really is appreciated. We know how hard it is to leave your most precious baby in a nursery for the first time, but the team really do work so hard to make them feel loved and cherished - and are always available for parents too - especially during those initial settling in weeks.

Our daughter joined Bobbins Nursery in April 2025 after leaving her childminder who only had 4 children. This was a big change for our daughter one we were anxious about as she didn't deal well with being left without us. She has grown leaps and bounds since joining Bobbins and we couldn't be happier
with the nursery. The learning they cover, the friends she has made and the teachers / carers are all absolutely incredible. Can only speak highly of this nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is the most wonderful nursery setting. My daughter has been attending the Bobbins (pre-school room) since March having moved from another setting, and there really is no comparison!
The staff are warm and welcoming, and the range of lessons and activities is second-to-none.
There is a high level
of discipline but it is delivered with such kindness, care and overall enjoyment that the children demonstrate high levels of respect for their teachers whilst having the most wonderful time.
The facilities and equipment are great and always improving/being added to.
My little girl has blossomed since she came here, grown in confidence and learnt so much.
I can't recommend Little Robins Nursery enough.

As a parent you always want what is best for your child. Put simply, sunninghill nursery is it.
The facilities for the children are just the starting point. The staff are all amazing. My daughter adores each of the staff and enjoys going in every day.
We had high hopes for the nursery and every one
of those has not only been met, but bettered.

My little son who will be 3 soon has started to attend this nursery full time since April 2024. I just want to say that it is such a beautiful environment for him to grow, develop, and explore new things! Everyone is very lovely and they see potential in each child and help them develop. He just simply
loves the outdoor activities, exploring the large garden, he loves the lady gardener whom they meet every week and do gardening. Also, they have lots of indoor activities as well, all aimed to meet the needs of our little ones.
Such a great nursery!
I feel safe leaving my child in the morning as I know everyone is taking good care of him and he is happy there.
Reply from Tammy Newberry, Registrar and Marketing Manager at Little Robins Nursery - Sunninghill (Previously Sunninghill Nursery)Thank you so much for your lovely review.

Helpful and friendly staff. Excellent location. Overall very happy with everything we have seen so far.

Very happy 2-year-old on pick up, and always has a thorough rundown of his day on collection.

Our son has attended Little Robbins for around 8 weeks now. The staff are really attentive and caring, and there is so much for him to do. They take the children outside every day and we receive regular updates and pictures. The food is varied and nutritious and they cater for his dairy allergy without
any issue. We are really happy with the nursery and our son loves it!

Such a warm and inviting environment, everyone is very encouraging, supportive and friendly to both pupils and parents/carers and one another,
There is a really big family feeling which is so important to know your little ones will be cared for lovingly with nurturing staff. The curriculum offers a
vast rich abundance of subjects to keep everyone's minds engaged and growing into wonderful young adults. Couldn't recommend more.

Our 2.5-year-old daughter has been attending Little Robins Nursery at Sunninghill Prep School for nearly two months, and we are thrilled with the progress she's made in such a short time. We've observed significant improvements in her language and vocabulary, a testament to the care and attention the
teachers provide. The variety of activities offered at Little Robins is exceedingly impressive for a nursery. Specialist teachers provide music and PE lessons. Dedicated and caring staff and excellent facilities aside, what truly impresses us is the open, transparent, and regular communication between the teachers and parents. We felt warmly welcomed from day one and receive daily updates, both in person and through dedicated apps, keeping us informed about our daughter's activities and progress. We wholeheartedly recommend Little Robins Nursery at Sunninghill and look forward to watching our daughter grow and develop in this nurturing environment.

Our boy absolutely loves the nursery and chats happily about his learning adventures both indoors and outside on the beautiful grounds or on a trip to the local library and parks. The activities are varied, inspiring and fun, set within a very safe and nurturing environment. All the nursery and reception
staff are excellent and friendly; the children in both classes integrate well together in afternoons occasionally for Let’s Explore which our boy really enjoys. We’ve noticed a boost in his confidence, great friendships forming and lots of compassion. We highly recommend the Nursery at Sunninghill, it is a really lovely springboard to school life.

My daughter has been attending Sunninghill Nursery since 2 years 9 months and her journey so far has been wonderful. We are constantly impressed by the dedication shown by the teachers and the effort the nursery and reception team put into the well-being, enrichment and development of the children.
We always feel reassured that she is in excellent and safe hands when dropping her off and know she will have an enjoyable day - this is always confirmed at the end of the day by her smiley and happy face.
The nursery has a warm and homely feel to it and the school grounds and facilities are excellent. We love that nursery and reception share learning time together as this would allow for a seamless transition later on. The school has a wonderful family-centred ethos and really takes a holistic approach to providing a well-rounded education. My daughter loves attending nursery and we can't praise both the nursery and reception staff enough!

Sunninghill Nursery is amazing and I can’t recommend them enough. From day one they have made us feel very welcome and our son settled into nursery so quickly. He loves coming in every day and I always find him happy at the end of the day which is absolutely down to the care, attention and focus on
him. The range of activities the children are involved in is excellent and I have always found the nursery staff to be very communicative and the admin team so efficient. Every morning and afternoon you are greeted with smiling faces and people here really do seem to love their jobs. You do feel you are part of a very big family here. Sunninghill is a very special place.

My son has attended Sunninghill Nursery and absolutely loves it. The staff are so kind, caring and nurturing - just wonderful!
The nursery is within school grounds but has its own separate entrance and gated outdoor play area. We really like the safety this provides.
The children have access to the
school facilities, including the swimming pool, large private grounds and play area to run around in.
There are many enrichment activities and lessons like music and gardening. The school head gardener is just fantastic, and the children learn so much from her.
It has been great to see our son flourish in nursery, and it really is owing to the wonderful teachers.
We would highly recommend Sunninghill Nursery.
Reply from Tammy Newberry, Registrar and Marketing Manager at Little Robins Nursery - Sunninghill (Previously Sunninghill Nursery)Thank you so much for this gorgeous review! Your kind words are so appreciated by all the staff who work in our nursery!
We agree - our Head Gardener is wonderful and shares all her wisdom with such patience and kindness - and develops a real love of gardening in our children from a very young age.
It is great that the nursery has its own private garden as well as full use of the grounds and facilities that the Prep school has on offer.
Thanks again for taking the time to write this review.

We transferred our son to Sunninghill in October 2022 after having a bad experience with another local nursery. He loved Sunninghill from day one, and we could not be happier with our decision. Since then, he has developed so much in all aspects. The staff is so lovely and caring and made his time in
the nursery extremely pleasant. We would recommend Sunninghill to anyone, and some of our friends have started here already. Don't hesitate if you want to join.

I cannot praise Sunninghill Nursery enough. Our daughter attended and absolutely loved it. The staff are so welcoming and supportive and the children thrive. I was quite apprehensive with her starting nursery but the staff are so understanding and the settling-in process is very adaptable, I was so
happy to leave her with complete confidence knowing she was in extremely safe hands. The nursery is open-plan and has a lovely play area and self-contained garden. The children enjoy a huge range of engaging developmental activities and are included in whole-school productions. The “family” ethos of the school is shown through all the year groups and nursery are a huge part of this. The regular updates through the app with photos of activities they have participated in give you a lovely insight into their day.
Such a wonderful entry to the “schooling” experience. Without doubt, the best decision we’ve made.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.674)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.674) out of 10 for Little Robins Nursery - Sunninghill (Previously Sunninghill Nursery) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.965 for Little Robins Nursery - Sunninghill (Previously Sunninghill Nursery) is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.965
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.709 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Robins Nursery - Sunninghill (Previously Sunninghill Nursery) is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 66 number of registered child places is 13.2. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.909
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

I have been part of Little Robins Nursery (formerly Sunninghill Nursery) for over 10 years. During this time, I have worked across all age groups and now room lead in our Bobbins Room, supporting our wonderful 3–4 year olds.


One of the greatest joys of my role is welcoming children as they begin their learning journey and watching them grow, flourish, and move confidently through Sunninghill Prep School. My team and I pride ourselves on knowing every child exceptionally well. This deep understanding allows us to provide the strongest possible start to their education through a fun, safe, and enabling environment where every child can thrive.


I look forward to meeting you, and I hope you come to love Little Robins Nursery as much as I do.
