Nursery & Reception - Dulwich Prep & Senior Skip to footer Prep & Senior Nursery & Reception Pre-Prep Prep Senior Nursery & Reception Early Years: Fledglings, Nursery and Reception Children begin their exciting journey through Dulwich Prep & Senior at our Early Years site. Set in five acres of fields and woodland, our superbly equipped, award-winning building allows us to provide children with the best introduction and foundation to learning. Our number one priority is the wellbeing and happiness of our pupils. We foster a calm and gentle atmosphere marked by mutual respect between adults and children. Teachers and Early Years Practitioners encourage children to praise, listen and take turns. This develops the children’s kindness, honesty and empathy, giving them a sense of security and belonging. We recognise that children who feel confident in themselves and their abilities are more likely to be self-motivated learners. All our children are treasured as individuals and are encouraged to explore their unique gifts and strengths to achieve their full potential. We nurture the children’s natural curiosity, creativity and critical thinking through daily fun play-based tasks indoors and in our outdoor learning environment, including weekly lessons in our woodland. This helps them become independent and to think for themselves. Initiative is praised, and the resulting self-confidence helps children develop a positive attitude towards learning, enabling them to succeed. From Reception, we are dedicated to our role as a school for boys, and our professionals are experts within this field. Our staff carry out research focused upon strategies that enhance boys’ engagement with the curriculum and are driven by tangible evidence for effective practice in the classroom, in Music, in the Arts and in the various Sports opportunities.
