Our vision is to create a safe, stimulating and healthy environment in which our children feel respected, valued and included; where the foundations are nurtured for them to become confident individuals, responsible citizens, effective contributors and successful learners.
At Doonvale Private Nursery School we all try to be helpful, patient, kind, understanding, fair, trustworthy, responsible, respectful, active, healthy, to have a good sense of humour and enjoy our time at Nursery. Values identified in discussions with children and staff.
