Dunscore Pre-school Centre a small rural charity which delivers excellence in early learning and childcare for children aged 3 years until they start school. It has been at the heart of our community for over 35 years, and is run by a committee of parents, carers and members of the local community, In partnership with staff, the committee is responsible for the smooth running of the centre. The manager and staff are responsible for organising and running the Early Years sessions and providing a nurturing positive and stimulating environment. At Dunscore Pre-school Centre we are always mindful of the special role we provide and of the dedication required by staff, parents and the community in ensuring its continued success.

Dunscore Pre-school Centre works closely with our associated Primary and Secondary schools. We arrange a range of visits to share learners’ experiences and ensure a smooth transition to the next stage in their learning journey. We work in partnership with other Partner Provider and council nurseries both in our cluster and throughout the Region, meeting regularly to share best practice. The Early Years Team and Early Years Scotland support us with advice in order to evaluate and improve our practice. The Pre-school is an integral part of our community, with the children regularly visiting and being visited by individuals keen to share exciting powerful learning experiences, which will enable our children to become responsible citizens and active leaders in their community.
