contents Let $S$ be a dense subring of the real numbers. In this paper we prove a polynomial version of Van der Waerden's theorem near zero. In fact, we prove that if $p_1,\ldots,p_m \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ are polynomials such that $p_i(0) = 0$ and there exists $δ> 0$ such that $p_i(x) > 0$ for every $x \in (0,δ)$ and for every $i=1,\ldots , m$. Then for any finite partition $\mathcal{C}$ of \( S\cap(0,1) \) and every sequence $f:\mathbb{N}\to S\cap(0,1)$ satisfying $\sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n)<\infty$, there exist a cell $C \in \mathcal{C}$, an element $a \in S$, and $F \in P_f(\mathbb{N})$ such that \[ \{ a + p_i(\sum_{t \in F} f(t)) : i = 1,2,\ldots,m \} \subseteq C. \]
