‘Precious moments today, creative children tomorrow’

As Executive Headteacher, it gives me great pleasure to warmly welcome you to ‘The Federation of Darlington Nursery Schools’ that is Borough Road Nursery School and George Dent Nursery School.

Our Ethos and Culture

As Early Years Educators building a learning community which values childhood, celebrates play and welcomes creativity is important to us.

Our children are our world and our future. We recognise the important role our families have to play in supporting children to achieve well. Through working together, we learn to appreciate a child’s uniqueness, and listen and respond to their interests, so we can provide the appropriate care and education they need to grow and achieve.

Securing a strong sense of self-worth is important to us as we know that when we feel good about ourselves, we have the resilience and capability to nurture mutually respectful relationships, which helps our children to become thoughtful and successful, independent learners.

Building strong and lasting memories is important to our educators. During their time with us our children will be offered a great many opportunities that will broaden their view and understanding of the world around them so that those ‘precious moments today’, support the development of our ‘creative children tomorrow’.

Our vision statement

We gently educate your child by allowing them to experience the pure joy of being a child; giving them time to be amazed by our natural environment and to delight in the process of learning through play and exploration so they become the happy, creative, confident and capable children of the future. 

Both Nurseries are open to children aged between 2 and 4 years from 8.00 am until 4.30pm, Monday to Friday, 50 weeks of the year.
