Welcome to The Old School House Nursery & Preschool, a family-run setting dedicated to placing every child at the heart of all we endeavour. Within our two nurseries in Poole, Dorset, our cosy, home-like environment is renowned for the exceptional care, nurturing atmosphere, and unwavering support we provide to all of our families.
We have developed an ambitious and comprehensive curriculum that is designed to thoroughly prepare your child for their transition to school. Our commitment to each child's development is evident in our meticulous approach to creating a supportive and stimulating environment where they can flourish.


Each of our nurseries features a dedicated Baby Room, providing a tranquil and soothing environment for children under two years of age.

Both of our dedicated Twos Rooms offer large open spaces, purposely designed to encompass a variety of distinct areas.

Our esteemed Preschool has been meticulously designed to inspire a sense of curiosity among our children, while simultaneously fostering their innate creativity.







Located in the very heart of the vibrant and welcoming community of Ashley Cross in Poole, this was our first-ever nursery and it offers a bright, spacious, and meticulously designed environment. This ideal setting has been thoughtfully created to encourage children to engage in a variety of enriching activities, fostering both learning and personal growth, as well as allowing for endless opportunities for exploration. Whether they are embarking on educational adventures or developing essential social skills, children at our nursery are nurtured in a conducive environment that supports their holistic development.

Our second establishment, nestled in the serene locale of Creekmoor, also in Poole, opened its doors in January 2024. Since then, it has unwaveringly maintained our tradition of delivering outstanding early childhood care. Much like our esteemed Ashley Cross Nursery, this Creekmoor setting is dedicated to cultivating a nurturing and stimulating environment for our children. We take immense care in meticulously focusing on the promotion of their development and overall well-being, ensuring that every aspect of their growth is supported in a comprehensive and holistic manner.
