Little Hands, Big Discoveries — In a World of Play, Care, and Curiosity

Our vision 

At Little Pearls Nursery, we see our setting as a safe and loving community where children can be imaginative, adventurous and happy. We want them to grow and learn in a child-led environment, where we follow the child’s natural curiosity to provide opportunities to develop and challenge their learning.

Our highly skilled team will support and care for the children, allowing them to develop and flourish into confident individuals, ready for the next stage of their school journey. We always have an open-door for families to feel safe and welcome and supported.

  Can my child come to nursery if they are not already toilet trained?

  Yes of course. We understand that all children are different and they will learn this life skill at different times. We urge parents to talk to their child’s key person before toileting training so we can offer advice on whether your child is ready to start training and how to go about it. Often starting a child before they are ready can cause both the child and the parent a lot of stress. Once you are ready to start we have the facilities to support you.

I am feeling anxious about leaving my child for the first time, have you got any tips?

It is completely natural to feel anxious, whether it is your first child or your fourth – the worry doesn’t go away! We completely understand and are here to support you. Many of our team are parents themselves and have first-hand experience of how scary the thought of leaving your child in childcare can be. To help alleviate some of the worry we offer settling-in sessions for as long as you and your little one needs. We can also put you in touch with other parents who have already been through the process to give you first-hand, honest advice and support. Our teams are here on-hand to discuss any worries or concerns and will work with you and your little one for as long as you both need to feel comfortable, settled and secure.

How will I find out about my child's progress?

We pride ourselves on passing over informative messages. When your child achieves something, we like to share it. Every session we will strive to hand over a verbal messages about how your child has got on that session and anything developmental will be shared. At the end of every half term your child will have a ‘development overview’ which is collated from all the information we have gathered throughout that half term from both us and you. Twice yearly your child's key person will hold a parent's evening with you on your child's achievements and together you will set their next steps. All the information gathered is in your child’s learning journey, a copy of your child's development overview will be sent home. We also share information and observations through tapestry and regularly post photos on our Instagram and Facebook page to keep you updated on what we have been doing as a whole nursery.
