Ofsted Registered Childcare in Leicester

The effort that has gone into creating our beautiful spaces for children reflects the belief that children deserve the very best, and that their aesthetic senses need to be nurtured in the early years. Children are active learners, which means that each of our three rooms are stimulating and offer children many opportunities. The environment invites children to become involved and encourages them to explore a wide variety of materials and develop their creativity.

What our parents think...

“My little boy Harry has just started at Dottie’s for two afternoons a week and he loves it! He has settled straight in and it’s lovely to hear about all the things he’s done during the day. The staff are lovely and made me feel at ease from day one. I would highly recommend Dottie’s nursery.”

“My daughter has been going to Dotties since she was ten months old & loves it. All the staff are so friendly & helpful. Mrs Gibson has been so accommodating with any requests I have had. I cannot praise all of the staff enough. Thank you so much for making my transition back to work so easy.”

Dots & Tots Nursery is located within the grounds of Alderman Richard Hallam Primary.

Our open play setting offers a rich play and learning experience for children.

In 2019 the setting had a complete refurbishment with purpose-made furniture designed with children in mind. Here we care for babies through to pre-school-aged children. Our open play setting offers a rich play and learning experience for children. It allows each child to progress at his/her own pace, it gives children practice in choosing, and in dealing with the consequences of choice, and it encourages a more flexible and open-ended use of the group’s resources as well as access to a secure outdoor play area.
