Each of our nurseries offer a secure entrance ensuring that only parents and authorised person can come into the building. We also operate a system which ensures that our children will only be released to those people you have authorised to collect them.
Our staff’s priority is to ensure your child feels loved, secure and at home. Also that you feel this too. When your child first starts nursery we will encourage you to visit the nursery with your child for short periods of time until you both feel comfortable with the new setting.
Providing full daycare for children with ages ranging from 3 months to 5 years
Our staff are experienced and qualified in early years care and education.
We offer a couple of Forest Schools and promote the outdoors across all settings.
At Little Achievers Nurseries we do things differently! Come and have a look! We draw our inspirations from the Reggio Emilia Pre-Schools of Northern Italy and the work of their educationalists such as Malaguzzi, which are world famous for delivering the very best early years education and childcare. We also turn to the Scandinavian Forest School Nurseries, who are world known for their outdoor work with young children and for providing beautiful Hygge interiors.
Our Lead Professionals are all experienced and highly qualified childcare specialists and their support is provided throughout the nursery community.
