Dunannie
Nursery
The Dunannie Nursery is located in a beautiful converted barn with light, airy spaces that allow for multi-purpose areas, role play and creative activities. Immediately outside the Nursery is a separate garden and a year-round play area. The Nursery is surrounded by an orchard, which has its own wooden play equipment as well as a newly installed Sound Garden. In addition, the children use the Dunannie school playground and sandpit, and have access to all the facilities at Bedales. The Nursery is led by an experienced Early Years teacher, Sharon Rose, together with two part-time qualified teachers and two full-time experienced Teaching Assistants. Nursery children are also taught by specialist teachers in French, music and PE.
