Nursery
Our Curriculum
Dunstall Park Nursery allows pupils to begin their life-long learning journey in a happy, safe and inspiring learning environment. We provide a broad, balanced and vocabulary rich curriculum, carefully designed to develop the whole child. We know that children learn best through first-hand experiences of doing, touching and seeing for themselves through play. Children’s intellectual, social, emotional, creative and physical development are all developed through our Key Questions and Key Texts. At Dunstall Park, our Nursery children become explorers, superheroes and scientists!
Before children can read to learn, they must learn to read. At Dunstall Park Primary School, we are passionate about supporting nursery children’s developing understanding of early reading through oral phonics. We also love to encourage a passion for stories that take them on wild adventures or help them understand different emotions with our regular story sessions.
