”Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning and how to learn.”

At Little Star Nursery children thrive, learn to live, to love and grow from the people and world around them. With the support of dedicated, highly qualified and experienced staff in creative, nurturing environments children are encouraged to direct their own learning experience, allowing exploration and self discovery.
Children’s natural curiosity drives them to explore, discover, and learn about the world around them.
We know that children and families are all unique and so are welcomed and supported from the day children are left in our care until the day they make the transition on to schools. The size of our settings ensure a personalised approach where the curriculum is modelled on what the children need and want: rather than a prescribed “fit for all” approach.
About Us
Remember the thrill of making mud pies? Building dens in the woods or digging for worms? That childhood book that stays with you now or friendships that teach you how to be yourself? Well, here at Little Star we know the importance of these life long memories and skills , so provide children with those everlasting memories that become the building blocks with which to learn and develop.
We plan for your children by listening to them and observing their interests and responding to their needs. Play is structured but child led and in this way can lead us in any direction – wooden blocks can become a dog on a lead; pebbles become boulders for diggers and a sheet of fabric butterfly wings. Children learn best when stimulated, interested and excited by life and we will help each individual learn in their own unique way – be it as a super hero or a botanist.
The philosophy at both our settings is one based on developing trusting relationships and giving each child the skills they need to tackle their individual challenges: be that climbing a step, or a tree, balancing blocks or building a space ship from marshmallows (it has been done!).
