A day in our nursery is designed to nurture your child's diverse development during their early months and years. While the specifics may vary, a typical day may include greeting parents and welcoming children, helping them settle in, setting up and clearing away activities, planning and leading engaging sessions and ensuring safe play - both indoors and outdoors.
We offer a secure and structured environment for children under five, allowing them to play, develop essential skills, socialise and make friends.
As we begin another exciting day, our friendly nursery team and your child’s dedicated key person will be there to greet you with warm smiles.
Once inside, your child will join their peers in their nursery rooms. Each space, from the baby room to our pre-school rooms is thoughtfully designed to reflect the unique stages of development, creating an inviting atmosphere for exploration and learning.
With our curiosity approach, your child will engage with a wealth of resources and a variety of stimulating activities. These are crafted to ignite their curiosity and support their growth, ensuring that they feel at home and eager to discover each day.
Lunchtime: A Delicious and Social Experience!
Lunch is a wonderful time for children to enjoy a freshly prepared, balanced meal made by our on-site chefs. With a healthy and varied menu every day, we encourage children to explore different tastes and textures. Sharing a meal with their peers not only fosters social connections but also enhances their overall dining experience.
At home time, parents are encouraged to come in and chat with our educators to hear all about their child’s day and accomplishments. It’s a wonderful opportunity to get to know the team and other parents, as well as to ask any questions about your child’s progress.
If you have something specific to discuss, our managers are always available for a quick chat or a longer meeting to address your concerns.
At our nursery, children have the freedom to explore and play with a wide array of resources. They can engage light boards and art resources, enjoy dress-up stations and dive into our Little Oaks Library.
Children can sort materials, create stories and immerse themselves in imaginative play, whether it’s through block building, sensory experiences, or water play.
They also have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the world around them using mini-models of vehicles, animals and people, or by conducting research on our digital tables.
We are fortunate to have wonderful outdoor play and learning areas at all our settings, including our own tiny forest.
Children are encouraged to embrace nature by growing their own food and plants, as well as learning about insects and the environment.
At Little Oaks, we understand that outdoor experiences are essential for a child's wellbeing and growth, instilling healthy habits from an early age. We prioritise outdoor activities at our nurseries, ensuring that children spend a significant portion of their day connecting with nature.
Each day, our educators lead small group or individual sessions focusing on communication and emotional literacy, as well as yoga and cookery.
They encourage discussions and research on new topics, helping children expand their understanding of the world around them.
Things like storytelling sessions, hands-on science experiments, or creative arts and crafts keep our little learners engaged and curious.
We’re always happy to help - whether you’re looking to book a visit, ask a question or simply learn more about what we do. Reach out to our friendly team and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. We can’t wait to hear from you!
