Welcome to Davenport Lodge Nursery School where Early Years Education has been delivered since 1968. We provide a happy, secure and stimulating environment where children from birth to rising five learn and have fun together. I firmly believe that every child is capable of great success and our dedicated staff work with the children to achieve their personal best.
High expectations and success within a positive environment encourage children to be confident, independent learners. For a look around the nursery, please contact the office to book an appointment.

We visited a number of nurseries before Davenport Lodge, and we chose them based upon the positive first impression. Our child had a very enjoyable experience throughout the three years he was there, and the teachers always quickly responded to any issues or concerns. Things that particularly attracted us were the care provision, qualified teachers, low staff turnover, great facilities, and ongoing learning/development plans (which have put our child in a great position for the transition to primary school).

Firstly, at least 2 or 3 of the positive reviews have been posted by people who would have been members of staff at the time the review was written. Also, some not so positive reviews have been removed from Google so bear that in mind as well.
Approach this nursery with caution if you even suspect your child might not fit the mould or if you want them to grow up appreciating or accepting neurodiversity. It is a non selective nursery at entry, the selection takes place when the child is there. If the child does not conform they will make a token gesture of involving SENDCO but no real action is

Congratulations to Mrs Nalus and her team for the GOOD Ofsed rating.
A true reflection of a great establishment.
Thank you for educating, looking after and ensuring fun times for our son and the other children.
Our son looks forward to going each day and particularly enjoys forestry class. All the staff are attentive, patient, caring and detailed especially in their end of day reporting at collection/home time.
Keep up the good work, thank you.

My daughter's journey here is at an end. She has been here since 9months old and I can't thank all the staff enough their support and kindness In helping my daughter develop into the character she is today.
She has made some strong bonds with staff and children there. Will be sad to see her go.
She is able to write her name without support and become more confident. Great nursery school.

My daughter had been at davenport lodge since she was 9months old and ive never had a problem i was very happy with the care she recieved and as a parent any concerns i had was taken on board and resolved.

Avoid at all costs. FOOD: Even with a kitchen and onsite 'chef', the food is reheated food and 'value' priced items. Nothing is 'cooked'. Children are given only one portion, and if they spill it or throw it, which they tend to do, they don't get another. If they sleep though a meal time, they are given 'simple' foods like a sandwich, so if your child slept through lunchtime, they would be given a sandwich, whether your child likes it or not. The lunch is not reheated so even though you have paid for a hot meal, don't think they will reheat it and give it to your child. We have heard story their
