Welcome to
Tiggers Nursery School
Tiggers Nursery School is a small, privately run and well-established pre-school founded by experienced childcare provider Kate Creasey in 1994. We are nestled within the grounds of Dunton Green Primary School, right in the heart of Dunton Green village.
​
We are immensely proud to have been consistently rated Outstanding by Ofsted for over 10 years.
At Tiggers, our main aim is to provide a place where preschool children feel safe, happy and valued. Every day we focus on creating an environment where children can grow in confidence and curiosity. Through imaginative play opportunities and a rich, stimulating setting, we encourage children to explore, learn and become the very best version of themselves.
​
We welcome children from the term after their second birthday, with a maximum of 24 children per session, allowing us to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for every child.
​
For families who need a little extra flexibility, we offer our popular Kangaroo Klub, a later pick-up option available Monday to Wednesday until 5pm.
​
Tiggers is supported by a small, dedicated team of staff who work closely together and build strong relationships with our families. We are often told that we treat our children like family, and we take great pride in the love, care and attention we give to every child who joins us.
​
We are also lucky to have some very special visitors. Heron and Myrtle, Kate’s trained Pets As Therapy (PAT) dogs, regularly come into Tiggers and our adored by the children. Our SEND page has more about our inclusive environment at Tiggers.
​
Our nursery benefits from an exceptional garden and extensive covered outdoor space (read more on our facilities page), which the children enjoy every day, whatever the weather. Outdoor play is an important part of life at Tiggers and offers endless opportunities for exploration, creativity and learning.

Our Tigger's Mission
Whether you are 2 or 92 years old, when you come through our door we want you to feel welcome. We acknowledge we all come from different lives and experiences but under our roof we are one big group of interesting and dynamic people.
To our staff at Tiggers Nursery School, the most important areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage are caring for and nurturing every Unique Child and having Positive Relationships, in an Enabling Environment.
These themes are always considered and remembered in all we do to foster children who are happy, secure and settled, children who learn and develop at their own pace. These are the children who will make the greatest progress and their footprints will enrich the world.
