About
Little Durham offers children aged 1 – 2 years old a safe, happy and nurturing start to their school journey. Children enjoy fun, age-appropriate activities led by our caring teachers in an environment that feels like a home away from home.
Little Durham sets the stage for lifelong learning by encouraging the development of positive educational and social skills that children will master as they grow. Children enjoy an interesting, varied schedule that focuses on play and socialisation, but still introduces learning and development principles, and provides a seamless transition into Durham International School.
By encouraging social and emotional development, Little Durham lays the foundation for your child’s future education and builds ‘Confidence for Life!’
Teaching and Learning
We believe school should be a fun and exciting place and aim to provide a foundation for children to be ready for Nursery and Pre-Prep where we deliver a creative curriculum guided by the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework and English National Curriculum.
Learning takes place both in the classroom and outdoors to involve, intrigue and assist children, developing their minds and bodies for future learning.
Recognising the importance of good manners and behaviour as well as encouraging kindness, respect and care for themselves and others – these are some of the core values we highly support at the school. Our child-centered approach celebrates the individual talents, interest, readiness and personalities of every child.
Developing ‘Confidence for Life’
