hdc Dartington

I’ve sent both my sons to hdc Dartington. Lovely facilities, fantastic hard working and caring staff. Supportive environment, and lots of outdoor play. They love to really cultivate your child’s interests.

The staff at hdc are friendly, welcoming and helpful. I feel that our son is safe and loved there, and I feel confident dropping him off and leaving him in their capable hands.
They are really responsive to his and our needs and requests; they give him loads of opportunities to learn, explore and discover the world at his own pace, and they always keep us informed and up to date with what is going on.
Thanks to the team- you are great!

My two and a half year old attends this nursery, he loves it and I am impressed with the care and affection he is shown by the workers. The outside space is great for muddy play. He does lots of fun well planned and age appropriate activities each day. It is a lovely environment and he is thriving there.

Our daughter has attended the nursery since she was around year old and followed their groups from babies to preschool. All the staff are really lovely and in courage her to be herself and explore. Our daughter has become attached to her key person in every room who have helped her come on miles both verbally and with her confidence. They alway have lots of activities and a great outdoor space for the children to run around/learn in.

Both of our daughters have gone to hdc Dartington and both love it. Our youngest is currently in The Meadow (toddler room) and runs in excitedly each morning. They do loads of fun activities with the children, like baking, painting, making music, growing vegetables in the garden and lots of free play. Our eldest was really well prepared for school by the nursery with them adopting a school like routine in the last year where they practised getting changed for Physical Education and took more responsibility for themselves through the day along with having a good initial introduction to phonics and counting etc.
The staff are all really lovely, and clearly seem happy to work there, and the nursery itself has a nice calm feel with lots of outdoor space. The menu is varied and a lot healthier than what our eldest is now given at school. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Both of our daughters have gone to hdc Dartington and we are very happy with the experiences both have had. The staff are friendly, kind, knowledgeable and patient. The nursery is excellent and the children spend lots of time outdoors. Overall an excellent nursery.

My children love nursery, they are happy, engaged and have brilliant bonds with their key workers. They have a varied menu which is full of healthy foods and structured and imaginative activities. All 3 of our children have loved attending hdc Dartington and I feel very confident with the care and education they’ve received.

My grandson has come on so well since going here. At first, he was hesitant going in, but now I’m lucky to get a kiss, he is straight in. He is still happy to see me when I pick him up which is lovely. I’m very happy with the nursery.

Humpty Dumpty Nursery has been such a special place to take my daughter. There are a range of themes and activities to ignite in her passion for learning. The staff are very caring as well. The outside space is also lovely and big. I would love to see a few more exposure outings for the children/possibly use of the big field opposite the village stores. Nevertheless, all in all, I highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter loves going to hdc Dartington! It is definitely down to the dedicated staff and wonderful outdoor-based play. It has been almost three years now, and we feel very blessed to have such a lovely place for her to grow while we work.
