  • Little Robins Nursery - Sunninghill (Previously Sunninghill Nursery), Dorchester
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.

The nursery staff create a happy, stimulating safe environment for my son. He enjoys his time at nursery very much. The team have supported us in managing his allergies and respond well to feedback. It is obvious they care greatly for all the children.

Absolutely outstanding nursery. Having experienced other settings for my children previously, I can be assured that the care they receive at Little Robins nursery is exceptional. I always feel my children are treated as individuals and not a number. Their day to day care is entirely built around them
and their needs. All of the staff in the setting are extremely professional, caring and my children have a good relationship with each of them especially their key workers.

My daughter adores all the teachers in this nursery, they are so kind and welcoming. The days are a great balance of education and fun. They have French lessons, do lots of artwork, PE, music and gardening classes as well as practicing their numbers and phonics. My daughter's speech has come on really
well and her confidence is growing.
There is a range of outside equipment such as swings, slides, sandpits as well as even having a castle inside. There is plenty for them to use their imaginations.
My daughter loves all the songs they learn and sing and they even get the opportunity to perform to parents, in the harvest festival and nativity, where they get involved with the older children.
They also take safeguarding really seriously and have plenty of teachers that do an amazing job at caring for the children.
Being a young mum I was worried about being treated differently but that is not the case here. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, I could not recommend this nursery enough.

All of the team at Little Robins have taken so much care of our little boy, giving him truly individual time and engagement, paying real attention to his behaviour, needs and interests. The range of activities that they do around the school and grounds are excellent, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend
it to any new parent.

Since our son has started at Little Robins he has been worked with exceptionally well by all at the nursery. He is making great progress and the attention to detail by the staff is great. The feedback from the nursery through their app is very good and it is lovely to have the updates from his days
there when we are at work. Brilliant nursery!

The staff are all so lovely and kind, they know all the kids and know all their individual needs and quirks and little languages!


They have been so helpful potty training my little one and always support and work with the parents in everything! I would highly recommend them as a nursery.


The

2-3 yr olds have gardening and music and arts lessons and my little one loves it. And I know few of my friends in the older group do even more lessons. But most importantly they keep it fun and incorporate lots of play time and they always go outside no matter the weather, they just put them in the sun suit or wetsuit or snowsuit and off they go and play outdoors!


And they are the only nursery in the area that provides food, and hot meals, and again my little ones eats so well. She even eats all the fruit and veg there!


They seem to cover emotional, physical, educational and just all around support and developmental needs for them all!

We couldn't be happier with Little Robins Nursery at Sunninghill Prep School. The staff create such a warm and nurturing environment. From the very beginning, they've all been incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing. The facilities are excellent, with plenty of
space and resources that encourage both play and learning. It's clear a lot of thought has gone into creating a safe, stimulating environment where children can thrive. The curriculum offers a great balance of structured activities and free play (and lots of time outdoors, which our little boy loves!), helping to support his development in all areas. Most importantly, our little boy settled in really well and absolutely loves going to nursery. He comes home happy, confident, and full of stories about his day, which says everything. We feel very lucky to have found such a fantastic place and would highly recommend it to any parent.

We have been over the moon with Little Robins nursery since our little boy joined in spring 2025.


The team are so caring and kind and we have been especially impressed with the team in the Bobbins room and how much our little boy has come on since joining that room. Two particular teachers have especially

shown incredible thoughtfulness about our little boy and his sensory needs. They picked up early on that he is very sensory-led and always go above and beyond to accommodate him.


I recently came into nursery and room manager had been freezing plastic animals in coloured ice because she knew our little boy would love that activity. The other day I came into nursery for pick up and our little boy was sitting nicely as part of circle time and the other teacher had given him a body brush. Our boy struggles with sitting still but this teacher had worked out that the brush helped give him something to focus on.


Overall we could not be more impressed with the whole team and setting.

Reply from Tammy Newberry, Registrar and Marketing Manager at Little Robins Nursery - Sunninghill (Previously Sunninghill Nursery)Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful and detailed review. We are truly touched by your kind words and it means a great deal to the whole team at Little Robins Nursery to hear about your experience.

We're especially pleased to hear how supported your little boy has been in the Bobbins room and how much progress he has made since joining. Recognising and responding to each child's individual needs is something our team is deeply passionate about, and it's wonderful to know that the thoughtful, sensory-led approaches have made such a positive difference for him.

Thank you again for taking the time to give us such detailed feedback - I will definitely share your lovely words with the team!

We truly cannot speak more highly of Little Robins Nursery. Our son adores going. We have been delighted with the progress our son has made during his time there. The support and guidance he receives on a daily basis is so evident. He is becoming more curious about the world and wants to learn. This
is nurtured by the staff and encouraged through the wide variety of activities they do. The staff encourage children to become independent whilst also helping them to build and learn about social skills. The days are well structured with a visual timetable for the children to follow. The staff truly do go above and beyond and we could not be more grateful. The care they provide is rooted with kindness. They take time to learn about the children's interests and hobbies, and as parents we feel they really care about the children as individuals. We feel our son is safe and well supported at Little Robins we are so excited to see the progress he will continue to make there.

Thank you again for your trust and support - it's a pleasure to be part of your son's early years!

Our two boys have been attending this nursery for a year and half i can't recommend a place highly enough
Both boys they help and support them they give good hand over on pick and the app tells you everything The activity's they do are different they do a lot outside not just in a class room
all the staff really go the extra mile in everything
The change in a year and a half is outstanding with both boys
The school has lovely grounds and it's so nice to see the big school children even mix with some of the nursery reading books and playing outside
They get breakfast, lunch breaks and afternoon tea an it very good food
Little robins is not just a nursery it's like family even the headmaster stands at the gate every morning and afternoon and know everyone this was the best choice I have made on nursery's
Thank you to all the staff at the school

We had a terrible time with the first nursery our daughter went to, which left a significant detrimental impact on our then 2 year old and ourselves as parents. She struggled with confidence and separation. Sunninghill went above and beyond to make sure she settled in well and adjust aspects of her
care as and when needed so that she felt safe and comfortable. Since then she has grown so much in confidence and absolutely loves going to nursery! She is a bright, happy and confident 3 year old, which is in no doubt partly due to the care she has received at little robbins. As parents they have always communicated well with us and left us feeling reassured, happy and confident she is in the best possible place. Thank you Little Robbins team, you are all amazing

(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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 82 number of registered child places is 16.4, which has been reached with 49 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
