š± A Home Away From Home
At Little Steps Nursery, we believe that early childhood should be filled with warmth, comfort, and security. Thatās why weāve created a homely, nurturing environment where children from three months to five years feel safe, happy and confident to explore the world around them.
From the very first day, every child is welcomed as the unique little person they already are, with individual skills, stories and experiences tucked away in their ābackpackā.
Weāre here to help them grow, one step at a time.
š Growing Independence, Confidence & Curiosity
Our goal is to support each childās natural development in an atmosphere that is calm, caring, and child-centred. As they play, explore and connect with others, children develop vital social skills, build independence, and form the emotional resilience they need for life.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, ensuring that every child experiences a rich and balanced curriculum across all areas of learning and development.
š Filling Their Backpack for the Journey Ahead
We see each day as a new opportunity for your child to build on their experiences, adding new skills, discoveries and happy, memorable moments to their personal backpack.
By the time your little one moves on to big school, we aim for that backpack to be brimming with:
-
Confidence and Independence
-
A Love for Learning
-
Social and Emotional Awareness
-
Physical Development and Coordination
-
A Strong Sense of Identity and Belonging
š¶ Tailored Care from 3 Months to 5 Years
From our cosy baby room to our preschool learning spaces, every area of our nursery is thoughtfully designed to meet your childās individual needs. Our expert practitioners adapt activities to support each childās stage of developmentāensuring they are always challenged, inspired and supported.
We carefully observe, record and celebrate each childās journey through our online āConnectā systemākeeping you updated and involved every step of the way.
