Everything We Do Is Focused On Your Child's Well-Being
At Little Lambs Day Nursery, we are a teacher-led nursery with a passion for providing a safe, secure, and happy environment for children to learn and grow. Our mission is to ensure that every child who walks through our doors feels valued, respected, and supported, and that they leave us as confident, independent, and curious learners.
Our Services
We offer a range of services to cater to the needs of our children, including full-day and part-time places, as well as breakfast and after-school clubs. Our curriculum is designed to be play-based, with activities that aim to extend and develop children's learning, based on their individual needs. Our staff are trained to understand the "Intent", "Implementation", and "Impact" of our activities, ensuring that every child receives a tailored approach to their education.
Our Settings
We have three Ofsted-registered sites: Huthwaite, Kirkby, and Summer House. Each site has its own unique character and is designed to provide children with a stimulating and engaging environment. Our Huthwaite site has a Lullaby Room, Shooting & Shining Stars Room, and an outdoor garden, while our Kirkby site has a Jade Cottage for children aged 0-2 years and a Moonstone room for children aged 2-4 years. Our Summer House site is a more relaxed setting, with a focus on calm and gentle play.
Our Staff
At Little Lambs, we are committed to appointing highly qualified staff who are passionate about providing high-quality childcare. Our staff are trained in a range of areas, including first aid, food hygiene, and child development, and are dedicated to creating a warm and welcoming environment for all children and families. You can get to know more about each of our staff members on our dedicated nursery setting pages.
Our Focus
Everything we do at Little Lambs is focused on the well-being of our children. We believe that a happy and secure child is one who is able to explore and investigate their environment, and who is encouraged to be curious and independent. We work closely with our families to support the development of these attributes and characteristics, and we are proud to be a nursery that truly feels like a family.
