Quality Childcare
At Little Lionhearts Nursery School, we believe quality childcare is created by providing nurturing enabling environments, positive relationships and tailor made learning opportunities. We foster learning for children from 3 months to 5 years.
A Nurturing Environment
Another Home
Our environments are created with high quality furniture and resources that reflect our children’s interest as well as provide that warmth, home like atmosphere with a dash of nature. The furniture is child sized to promote independence from an early age and our rooms have a balance of calm colours and nature to ensure it is not too overstimulating but brings that tranquility.
Facility & Safety
We prioritises cleanliness, tidiness, and a welcoming ambiance. Our facilities are kept to the highest standards, ensuring a clean and orderly environment. Child safety is paramount, with secure access doors and comprehensive CCTV surveillance therefore when it comes to the safety of your children you can be rest assured.
Learn & Play
Each of our rooms are bespoken to the abilities of the children within our nursery, while bringing a vibrancy of nature indoors. Our learning experiences are innovative and versatile to support the diversity we hold within our nursery. The children flourish through their individual interests while also invoking a love for reading through our story gems that helps the children to learn new topics, ways of life.
Key Person
Positive relationships play a key part in helping children settle into the nursery and making them feel secure, safe. At Little Lionhearts Nursery we follow a key person approach. There will be a person allocated to your child who will help your child to smoothly settle in, carry out observations, assessments and be able to discuss the development of your child with you.
Support & Guidance
We are dedicated to supporting parents as well as children. We have an open door policy that allows parents to seek support from team members. We understand parenting is never easy and therefore we like to work in partnership with our parents to support them. Your key person will be able to provide you with advice on your child’s development and learning. The daily feedback will give you insight of the day your child has had and what they have eaten.
Healthy Eating
At Little Lionhearts Nursery School, we understand the importance of nutrition in a child’s growth. Our menus, crafted by specialist nutritionists, are tailored to meet the developmental needs of young children. We adhere to guidelines from the World Health Organization, NHS, and local health authorities. Our dedicated chefs use fresh ingredients to prepare a diverse array of global cuisines, ensuring meals are not only healthy but also engaging for young palates.
Curriculum & Learning
Little Cubs Room (3-24 months old)
As little Cubs are just discovering all life has to offer. We focus on the prime areas of learning which cover communication and language, Physical development and Personal, social and emotional development. Sensory exploration and enriched language environment is offered, this allows the stimulation needed for the Cubs to understand purposes of toys, learn cause and effect, develop their cognitive development while taking their first steps, saying their first words and building positive relationships.
Little Lions Room (2-3 years old)
The children are approaching the age where they are discovering boundaries, developing a sense of doing things independently and transitioning into toilet training.
At this age we are introducing the children to other areas of learning such as understanding of the world, expressive arts and design, mathematics, and literacy to further extend their explorative minds. The children will learn to take part in mark making and giving meaning to their marks from learning their numbers, to listening to stories, constructing sentences and making their own nursery rhymes, constructing with big blocks, listening to nature sounds and distinguishing them.
Preschool Pride Room (3-5 years old)
The children will be challenged further at this age to gain all the life skills they need to transition into the big school from learning to write their name, developing phonics knowledge to help them to read later in life to problem solving activities with numbers, narrating their own stories, building their confidence through drama and performance arts. They will learn to make positive life choices to help them make a positive difference, through growing a love for living things, planting, speaking about emotions and feelings, and how to self regulate themselves through different strategies such as positive affirmations, breathing exercises, tapping and yoga.
