Small Business
At Little Giants Nursery, our curriculum is a vibrant fusion of Montessori independence and playful STEM, designed to ignite curiosity and build foundational skills that last a lifetime. Children choose from a wide array of materials—wooden blocks, circuit kits, science kits—and set their own learning goals, promoting agency and self‑confidence.
Our STEM activities encourage children to experiment, hypothesise, and test ideas through hands‑on projects. From constructing simple machines to exploring the properties of magnets, each session is guided by experienced educators who help children refine their reasoning, vocabulary, and problem‑solving techniques.
The Montessori approach places emphasis on sensory exploration, practical life skills, and focused concentration. By engaging in tasks such as pouring, sorting, and fine‑motor crafts, children develop independence, organisation, and an intrinsic love of learning.
Meals are freshly prepared on site, offering balanced nutrition that fuels both body and mind. We celebrate healthy eating by involving children in simple kitchen activities, allowing them to taste, observe, and appreciate the value of fresh, wholesome food.
Two beautiful gardens—one a dedicated baby garden—provide open‑air classrooms where children learn about biology, ecology, and sustainability. They watch seeds sprout, insects visit flowers, and feel the connection between nature and their own growth.
Safety is paramount: our campus is fully air‑conditioned, CCTV‑monitored, and equipped with secure entry. Off‑street parking and a convenient bus stop outside ensure hassle‑free drop‑off and pick‑up for parents.
With a ‘Good’ rating in every inspection area of the latest Ofsted report, Little Giants Nursery exemplifies excellence in education, behaviour, and personal development. Parents remain active partners through open communication and regular feedback, fostering a collaborative community that supports every child’s journey.
Our dedicated team works closely with each child, observing progress and adapting activities to meet individual needs. We celebrate milestones, encourage teamwork, and foster a love of learning that carries children confidently into school and beyond.
