An Ofsted outstanding family-run Pre-school (2-5s) founded in 1960, Dolphins has served generations within Brighton and Hove. 

​We provide a friendly, happy, stimulating environment that successfully bridges the gap between home and day school.  The Dolphins ethos is one of “caring and sharing” and based on the recognition of the “child’s right to play”. 

​We believe children flourish in an ordered environment in which they know that high standards are expected of them and at the same time are free to pursue their play, learning and development without fear of being hurt or hindered by anyone else.

We create an environment in which children develop self-discipline and self-esteem in an atmosphere of mutual respect and encouragement. 

"The highly dedicated managers and staff team create a dynamic, diverse and ambitious curriculum. They fully ignite children's sense of awe and fascination of the world and maximise all opportunities for learning"       Ofsted 2019
