Welcome and thank you for your interest in our nursery class!

Dunmore Nursery is part of the Early Years provision at Dunmore Primary School, based in Northcourt Road, Abingdon.  There is also easy access via Farm Road, South Avenue, Holland Road and Sellwood Road in the morning and afternoon through a back entrance to our site.  We are also within easy walking/driving distance from the new developments in North Abingdon.

WE OFFER

• Excellent Early Years provision
• 30-hour funded provision
• Wrap around care
• We offer extra paid hours for those parents who are not entitled to the 30-hour provision (subject to availability).

Applications for our January 2026 intake are now closed.  If you are interested in your child starting with us at some point in the future, please complete the 'Expression of Interest' form (below) and email to Tina Law - tlaw1625@dunmore.oxon.sch.uk, or post to: Dunmore Primary School, Northcourt Road, Abingdon OX14 1NR.

We are very proud of our nursery provision. Our setting has lots of open space, inviting activities and exciting outdoor areas.  We have experienced staff who provide excellent Early Years Education for the children whilst also caring for their individual needs in a calm and nurturing way.  We also strive to ensure that they, and their parents/carers, feel part of the whole experience of being part of an Early Years & Primary School setting.

We welcome individual or group visits to suit you, so please do contact us if you would like to arrange one by contacting us by email as above, or telephone 01235 520550.

Admissions to nursery classes are processed by the school, so please contact us if you are interested in joining the class.  However, if places are over-subscribed, we will adopt our Nursery Admissions Policy, which can be viewed below.

Children are admitted into our nursery class at the beginning of the term after their 3rd birthday, which provides at least 15 hours of free nursery provision. We also offer up to an additional 15 hours for parents entitled to the extended 30-hour provision. We are able to offer parents extra paid sessions for their child, but this is subject to availability. Please see the Nursery Provision attachment below for more information. 

For more information, or if you have any questions about our nursery, please contact us on 01235 520550 or email - Tina Law as above. 

PLEASE NOTE that attendance in a school nursery does not automatically entitle your child to a place in a Reception year class at Dunmore Primary School. You still have to apply for this through the Oxfordshire Council - School Applications - Oxfordshire
