Littlegates for Little People

We are a purpose built nursery, within 3 acres and set in a rural location. We spend lots of time outdoors, go on lots of nature walks and the most of what is on offer within our local community. We have various outdoor spaces including two separate gardens, full sized tennis court, football pitch and wooden park area. We also explore our perimeter garden, go in and out of the trees, pick the fruit and vegetables and look at farming, land and machinery. Currently we are very excited about developing our forest school area.Indoors we have four specifically designed rooms for children aged 3 months - 5 years. Children enjoy activities that help to develop and challenge them within the EYFS curriculum. All rooms are set out with homely environments and children feel safe and secure and build strong relationships with their key person. We also have a separate hall where children can enjoy the large space for activities such as music and movement, ring games, parachute and apparatus.We work with parents as partners and welcome them anytime to join in with activities and themes. We promote healthy eating by providing healthy cooked meals on site. We also encourage children and parents to bring fruit for the fruit basket to share and discuss. Teeth cleaning are also part of our daily routine. Staff have relevant qualifications and are constantly updating their knowledge.
