Little Achievers Urban Forest School Nursery is situated close to the heart of Preston city centre. The nursery can welcome up to 72 children. Each child has their own key carer who looks to ensure early years’ potential is achieved.
The nursery is split into 3 age ranges however the rooms can flow easily to aid transition for children when moving to new groups. Along with fully qualified childcare professionals, their nursery also has trained Forest School practitioners.
The aim of the friendly team of staff is to encourage children to confidently learn and develop, benefiting from a focus on key skills, such as numeracy, creativity literacy and curiosity.
Little Achievers Urban Forest School Nursery uses the Reggio Emilia Approach to Early Years Childcare and Education, a philosophy that uses four key principles to focus on a child's natural development. The approach is both child-centred and directed, taking the philosophy that learning must make sense to the child in order to be effective and meaningful.
All nursery pre-school children are able to access their own forest school, where children experience accelerated learning in a unique environment developing new skills, communication, improved health and personal development through learning outdoors. This time spent in outdoor spaces and reflective practice develops a child's resilience and re-frames a child's own view of risk. Forest school is about a different way of learning, the ever-changing outdoors, the passage of time, the changes in seasons, nature, different sources of smells and textures. The ever-changing environment can stimulate learning in a very different environment.
The nursery holds the coveted NDNA E-Quality award for providing high-quality childcare and education (2016).
Learning journeys for all children are offered both to see the progress their child is making at nursery via photographs, written comments and communica

The staff are so welcoming always approachable! The learning is fantastic, my daughter has been attending since she was 11 months old! She’s now getting ready for school thanks to the staff in the owls room! My younger daughter will be starting in January! And already staff have made her feel so welcome! We can’t wait for more years of childcare via the beautiful ladies at the nursery! Thank you so much.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. She gets excited every morning when we arrive in the car park. She loves all of the staff and has a great time. She is really settled there and it's such a comfort to know that she's happy and that she's getting a high level of care every day. My daughter has been attending nursery full-time, term time, since January 2020 when she was just 6 months old. All of the staff have been so important to her development, even more so in the current circumstances where we can't see family often - the staff and her little friends have become her family. They've helped her with her walking and social development and encourage her love for crafts and music.

My daughter started here in January 2020 and has really come out of her shell in all ways. She’s got a brilliant bond with all the staff and is constantly smiling when we come to the nursery and runs up the path! Her speech has come on heaps, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the staff for this as it was something I was worried about. The staff there love every child like they are their own. I know she’s in safe hands, thank you.

My little one started at the nursery in August, they have been absolutely amazing. She is difficult to settle and she is only going once a week, that would be a massive challenge to any nursery. But at this nursery, she settled quite fast and loves going. All the girls have been fab with my little one, she loves them so much especially one in particular. They have been really flexible as well which is crucial for working parents. Not to mention about my little one speaking two languages and when she started she only spoke fluent Hungarian, now she speaks properly in English too! Big thank you to all of you ladies, you are fantastic.

Overall Experience
All the staff are very polite and welcoming. My daughter is only two and to see her so happy makes me happy. Also, knowing that when I'm at work, knowing my child is safe and looked after is a big deal to me.
Excellent nursery 10/10.

All three of my children attend this nursery and absolutely love it. All the staff are lovely and friendly, especially the manager. They are positive, passionate and accommodating. I feel confident leaving my children at the nursery knowing they are in good hands. The staff are always happy to provide an honest account of how the children's day has gone. The nursery's recent Reggio Emilia approach provides the children with a fantastic environment and space in which they explore and delve deeper into their interests. I would recommend this nursery to other parents.

Love the staff that look after my child. Improvements would be to send some reports every month. Last year I enjoyed the app. This year, the diary idea I don't like. Would prefer something electronic as I don't come into the nursery.

He loves going outside to help the staff feed the chickens and enjoys playing outside in the outdoor area. My son especially likes to play in the messy play and sand and never wants to come home at home time.

My son thoroughly enjoys going to Little Achievers Urban Forest School Nursery. He has been attending the nursery for nearly three months now and is so settled and content there. He has bonded really well with all the staff members, learning their names and even calling one staff member "nan". The nursery has fantastic facilities. My son loves playing in the water and heads straight for an apron to get stuck in every morning.
He also loves the sensory room and is reluctant to leave if he is in there at home time. He is learning new things every day. I am very happy with the overall standards that the staff and nursery provide.
