About Little Meadows Nursery

Little Meadows Nursery was founded by Belinda Woolford N.N.E.B in 1995. All our staff are qualified to work with pre-school children. Qualifications consist of NVQ Level 3 or equivalent and we also have in-house training to Level 3 standard. Ratios are adhered to as specified by Ofsted, our governing body, enabling us to maintain a high standard of child care.

The nursery caters for 43 children aged from 3 months to school age. Heads Up, Looker & Communicators, Room One, 0-2yrs – 12 places available and Walkers, Talkers & Pretenders, Room Two, 2yrs+ - 31 places available.

Creating a happy environment where excellence is the norm....

Little Meadows was established to create a happy environment where excellence is the norm and children develop to their full potential. The daily routine is set up in such a way that the children should learn through play and so a wide variety of activities are available to enable the children to develop mentally and physically as well as learning how to integrate socially. We place great emphasis on social skills, with discipline and courtesy treated as standard by both adults and children. Our aim is that the children should respect others as well as themselves with play situations offering ample opportunity for sharing, turn taking etc.

Our Nursery aims to provide the best care and attention for all the children. We believe in treating children as individuals as well as catering for all their needs.

Our opening hours

The nursery is open from 8.00am until 6pm Monday to Friday. We close for the Christmas holiday and for all Bank Holidays.

The Daily Routine

Children are happiest in a secure environment. Therefore we follow a regular daily routine with meals and breaks for drinks at the same time each day. Thus the day is broken up into sessions during which there will be a number of different play activities available aimed to develop pre-number and pre-reading skills as well as other areas of the curriculum. All areas of learning are planned for using birth to 3 matters where children’s learning is at the heart of our understanding.

Our Aims & Objectives

Our aim is to provide a safe, secure environment where children can develop their full potential. We believe that children should learn through play and great emphasis is placed on social skills. We use the Birth to Three matters framework which has been developed to support practitioners working within children from birth to 3. We take as our focus “The Child”, we also use the foundation stage frame work for the children of the relevant age.

Free Nursery Places

We are a recognised provider for free educational places. This entitles parents of all 3-4 year olds five two and a half hour free sessions a week for 11 weeks during term time.
