Little Achievers Forest School Nursery is situated within 120 acres of farmland and makes the most of an attractive and interesting location in which to encourage early years learning and activities. The views over the local area are breathtaking, you can see for miles and this is the location of the children's outdoor play areas.
Children can play in their forest school and be part of nature in action. Forest school is 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.
While offering an excellent Early Years Education through inspiration from the Reggio Emilia Approach the nursery also holds the coveted Lancashire Quality Award for excellence Children experience accelerated learning techniques in a unique environment and develop a new range of skills, communication and improved health and personal development by spending time learning outdoors. This regular time spent in changing outdoor spaces and the accompanying reflective practice, develops a child's resilience and reframes a child's own view of risk.
Providing realistic challenges for children and allowing them to work through tasks themselves supports their development; actively engaging them to understand themselves and each other, promoting communication, problem-solving and social skills.
All children are looked after by fully-qualified professionals. A range of extracurricular activities are available - including access to Forest School Nursery, swimming and performing along with sport activities too
All pre-school children within the nursery are able to access forest school sessions within their timetable of nursery attendance.
Learning journeys for all children are offered both to see the progress their child is making at nursery via photographs, wri

We have been with Little Achievers now for a good time, and I wouldn't even consider anywhere else. When they suffered a really bad flood last year, they went out of their way to make sure all the children were cared for. And the whole place got a glow up! So it's even lovelier now. The play barn is absolutely fantastic, and the upstairs Pre-school room is so welcoming. It doesn't feel like a clinical setting, it's warm and cosy. I often say it reminds me of dropping my daughter off at a family members or close friends. It's got more a of loving and caring feel than some nurseries. And yes they will leave to go to school, so there is still the educational side of things that are undertaken, but I feel as though the emphasis is on love, friendships and play. And you can't want for a better set up than that! I'd highly recommend Little Achiever's.
Thank you for trusting us for all these years with your beautiful children. We work hard to try and make nursery feel like a home from home experience for all and I'm so glad you can tell! I will share these lovely words with the staff!

We spent quite a few months looking into nurseries for our little one as we knew we wanted it to have plenty of outdoor space and activities. We found Little Achievers online and went to have a look round and absolutely loved it. We'd visited a few nurseries that just didn't have anywhere for the children to play and be free properly so seeing the outdoor area, forest school and the barn here really sealed it. It's surrounded by fields which gives a breath of relief that there's no busy roads just outside the door and our child loves seeing the sheep and other animals on the journey and when the nursery take them out to see the sheep just outside their own garden. They always keep us up to date with pictures and all the staff are so friendly it's such a reassurance knowing your child is happy and safe at nursery. They do lovely little events through the year and Christmas parties which are just amazing. Thank you for all the care you put into the little ones

My son has been attending little achievers for the past year since he was 11 months old and we have had such a positive experience. The staff are so friendly and nurturing, providing regular, detailed updates throughout the day. The nursery has recently been renovated following an unfortunate flood, through which period the staff worked tirelessly to ensure no break in childcare for their families, which on reflection was extremely fortunate and a benefit of being part of a wider group with other locations. The nursery has lots of indoor and outdoor environments including a beautiful play barn with lots of role play and learning opportunities. It is also in a beautiful setting on a farm, where the children are able to go out for walks with the staff. As a parent who was very anxious to send her baby to nursery, I could not be happier with our choice 1 year on and have very much enjoyed seeing him develop with the help of little achievers.
Thank you so much for these kind words! I will pass these messages on to the girls, as I know they will be delighted to hear them! We have loved every minute of providing care for your little one, and we can't thank you enough for choosing Rosy Apple Childcare for your little one!

I couldn't recommend this nursery enough! The staff are all so friendly, welcoming and accommodating, and they genuinely go above and beyond. The care and attention they give my little one is wonderful, and it makes such a difference knowing she is in such caring hands. As a parent, there's nothing more reassuring than feeling happy and confident leaving your little one, and the team really do make that so much easier. We're so grateful for everything they do!
Aw thankyou for this! your little cheeky one is a delight to have and we couldnt imagine our class without her!
Firstly location is Excellent atmosphere for the nursery is awsome and then the staff are excellent and the level off service provided is brilliant. My child is always happy and willing to go to nursery this is due to the level off support he gets from the staff which keeps him happy.

My little boy loves attending this nursery. He started at 10 months old and has been provided first class care throughout. He has developed so much under the careful watch of the amazing staff and has experienced so much in the 2 years (so far) he has been there. Each day is filled with fun activities and education where he has created countless happy memories. I would highly recommend the nursery/staff to give your child the best start in their early years.
Thank you for your lovely words. We love having your cheeky boy with us and it's been a heartwarming experience watching him grow from the tiny baby he was when he first started!
Absolutely amazing Staff and my child looks forward to going nursery every day. The outdoor play area is also great for summer. The staff look after the children as if they are their own and the meals the nursery provide are also great

My child has been attending for a few months and has settled in brilliantly, building great bonds with staff. I'm kept up to date with what he's doing, eating and with photos on the app every day and nothing is too much trouble. Parents are helped to feel involved. Handover is always friendly and I'm informed even more about his day, I know he's in safe hands here. There's lots of toys and resources, so my child is always entertained and learning. There's always outdoor play when the weather permits, which is great for active children, and a play barn too. Varied meals and snacks are served and my child enjoys it all! Very happy with our choice in nursery and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anybody!

My child has been attending Little Achievers Forest School Nursery now for a year, the staff are extremely friendly and you can see the connection they have with all the children. As with any settling-in period, all children struggle to adjust to a new setting, however the staff here are amazing and clearly care for the children and help this transition. I love the fact the children spend as much time as possible outside experiencing the nature and just being children and getting mucky. I can't thank the staff for all they have done for the progression I have seen in my child, help with potty training and his development throughout his care at this nursery.
Thank you very much for your review, we are so pleased that your son soon settled with us and enjoys being at nursery with his friends.

My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery here. He has so much fun that he sometimes doesn't want to come home! He started at 12 months and the staff were very flexible and understanding of how hard it is when your little one starts nursery. He's now been going for almost a year and he loves it. He loves all the staff, the activities and has made lots of friends. It's in a lovely setting and he loves playing in the outside area with the toys outside. Toys are regularly changed and updated which keeps him interested. Communication is fantastic and we are kept very up to date with everything going on. We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We appreciate your comments we love having him just as much as he likes being here!

Thank you so much for these kind words. We pride ourselves on providing top quality care for the future generation!
I had to put my daughter in nursery a little earlier than I was hoping to, but since her first day she’s come on so much she’s settled in nicely and she’s made her own little friends. Staff always update me on her day so I can be reassured while I’m working and can see she’s happy enjoying herself....
Very happy mummy.
These are lovely words thank you very much. We love providing care to your little one she's a delight.
Warm, friendly staff. Excellent communication regarding what she's been up to/all the food she's eating (gets a more varied diet than me!). Good focus on learning/development, even from a young age. Great flexibility on schedule (half days, etc).

My daughter's days are full of different activities and new learning experiences. The staff use the app to keep us updated every step of the way, so I know what she’s eaten, done and how long she’s slept. The staff are experienced and it fills me with confidence when leaving her to go to work.

We made the decision to change my little boy and was a little worried if he would settle with the change. My child has now been at the nursery just over a month and the change in him has been amazing. He now cheers and claps on the way down the lane to the nursery, he runs in the door and at pick up he is so tired from an active day. The staff are all amazing and super friendly, I can now go to work knowing my child is happy and settled and what a relief it has been, I can't thank all the staff at Little Achievers enough it's made such a difference to our lives.
Thank you for your review we are so happy your child enjoys being at nursery.
My son started at the beginning of January and he has settled really well. The staff are brilliant with him, communication is great through the app, and they always send updates in the morning to reassure me that he has settled after drop off.
