Families love our warm, welcoming, purpose-built Talbot Woods Day Nursery and Preschool, rated 'Good' by Ofsted.

Specialist Early Years Care

Designed by our Early Years specialists, your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum.

Building on the foundations of the government's EYFS curriculum, it combines a wide range of activities to nurture and develop the skills your child needs to flourish and reach their full potential. This holistic yet personal approach supports each child's development and progress - whether that's moving rooms or preparing them for school.

Outdoor Exploration

Talbot Woods Day Nursery and Preschool is conveniently set in the grounds of Bournemouth University. Your little one can explore the freeflow garden and 'soft terrain' courtyard with confidence. The children also love growing vegetables and plants and enjoy exploring nature during our Forest School sessions.

A Dedicated Environment

Our separate sleep room ensures a peaceful space for your little one to recharge, and our sensory room is perfect for quiet exploration.

Excellent nutritionally balanced hot and cold meals and snacks are provided, using fresh ingredients.

Preparing for School

  • Your child will experience the joy of learning through our Growing Enhancements, that focus on academic and creative skills at all ages. We encourage children to learn through play when they are young and introduce more structured learning as they enter preschool. Growing Enhancements include Growing Readers, Writers, Mathematicians, Artists and more.
  • Our Ready For School Programme for preschoolers includes all our Growing Enhancements, but with an additional focus on life skills. Your little one will start to learn skills such as how to serve themselves at mealtimes, tying shoelaces and communicating effectively.
  • Children love our Boogie Mites activity with exciting opportunities to learn about the world through music and song.

Your Personal Tour

Our dedicated staff are always happy to welcome you and your little one for a personal tour and to ask any questions you may have.

Nursery is located on the GroundFloor of Talbot House on Talbot Campus. Go through the main entrance and the courtyard to the nursery passing through the double doors.
