The Dorchester Community Nursery School was created by a group of Dorchester mothers to meet the emerging needs of the community in the 1960s. Three rooms in the Moule were rented. In 1996, the Nursery was able to purchase the lease from the County Council, ensuring our place within the community for 125 years.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
We have sent both our children here, it is by far the best preschool in Dorchester. They put so much care into the activities, and go the extra mile to ensure that the children are constantly having fun whilst also learning.

Sunny days have been a great nursery for my Courtney , she has been there since she was 3 and is now 10! They have helped her grow so much over the 7 years and become the confident Courtney she is today!
They have always provided excellent service, have always helped with any issues I have had as a parent and do everything they can to help and be understanding.
The staff are amazing they are all so friendly , bubbly and have a real passion for their job which shows within the children as they love going back each day.
Everything they do is to make sure the children are safe , happy and enjoy
