Dover Park Primary School

Dover Park Primary took part in Isle dance in February with a theme of ‘There is a commotion in the Ocean’. The dance was all about keeping the oceans free from litter.

It was an amazing experience for them and they gave an absolutely stunning performance winning certificates for Best Performance Skills and Best Costume, Hair and Make-up.

All the children were so well behaved on the day and we are extremely proud of them all.

Little People, Big Adventures YMCA

Every day is an adventure at the YMCA. From action packed days at our Nurseries in Shanklin and Newport to beach adventures and community groups, there is fun and learning at every turn. We’ll even set them off on their Daycamps journey as they progress through to school. We offer fantastic childcare options during the school holidays for children in Reception through to 12-year olds.

YMCA Winchester House in Shanklin, holds both our Nursery and Daycamps settings. A stunning clifftop location overlooking Hope Bay, it offers large grounds and easy access to the beach, making it an ideal place for children to create lasting memories and friendships as they enjoy a wide range of activities.

Don’t just take our word for it; here’s feedback from one of our Shanklin Nursery parents:

“The setting is beautiful, the rooms are clean and full of activities but what makes this nursery so amazing is its professional, kind, caring and inspirational staff. I have never met a nicer group of people and my children are lucky to have them as such a large part of their lives” (Aug 2018)
