Transforming lives one treatment at a time
Our Beginnings and Vision
Little Monkeys Day Nursery & Pre School stands proudly in Braithwaite, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Lake District. Founded by experienced childcare professional Laura Fradsham, our nursery is a passionate haven where young minds can blossom and thrive. Guided by the belief that every child deserves the best possible start in life, we are committed to fostering happy, healthy learners through a nurturing and stimulating environment.
Dedicated Team and Expertise
Our dedicated team of experienced practitioners holds a wealth of knowledge and qualifications in early childhood development. Led by Laura, who holds both a BTEC National Diploma in Childhood Studies and a BA HONS Degree in Working with Children and Families, Little Monkeys boasts a team that genuinely enjoys working with young children. We prioritize and encourage exploration, creativity, and emotional development through playful learning experiences.
A Stimulating Environment
Within our converted dormer bungalow and spacious garden, we have created a warm and inviting space where imagination and exploration reign supreme. This unique setting provides ample opportunities for both indoor and outdoor play, ensuring your child's physical and intellectual growth.
Nurturing Young Minds
At Little Monkeys, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, carefully tailored to each child's individual needs and learning pace. We celebrate individuality and prioritize social, emotional, and cognitive development through play-based activities, exploration, and positive reinforcement.
Supporting Self-Regulation and Growth
We believe in empowering young minds to develop essential self-regulation skills. Through tailored guidance and positive reinforcement, we help children learn to manage their emotions, express themselves appropriately, and make independent decisions.
Nutrition and Wellness
Fueling young minds and bodies is crucial for healthy development. We prioritize healthy eating habits by offering nutritious meals and snacks prepared by our skilled on-site cook. Our menus are carefully planned to meet the highest nutritional standards and cater to diverse dietary needs.
