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

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.
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!
Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback.

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.

We love this little one so much, such a cheeky little sole.

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!

My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery and the staff are very attentive and caring. The app is always up to date so I can see how he’s getting on throughout the day and what new things he has learnt.

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 has been attending Little Achievers Forest School Nursery for over 12 months now and I cannot fault them at all, the staff are lovely and caring for all the children. 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.

Our one-year-old settled after a week and the staff were very supportive. Communication runs very smoothly. Available facilities are right for our child and we can't wait for the weather to improve for him to maximise what is being offered.

The best nursery around! My son, who is 12 years old now, went to this nursery, and now my 10-month-old little girl goes too! The staff are incredible! The nursery itself is just so lovely! My little girl was struggling with separation anxiety, and the nursery staff was brilliant with her and me!

Thank you for your review. We are really pleased that she has settled in well to the nursery routine.
Great nursery. Our two children have settled in superbly. Love the app and receiving notifications/pics and updates on how they're doing each day. Great for the memories and being able to download key moments of our children learning and having fun.

My child has been attending the nursery for less than a year and loves her time there. Staff are always welcoming and attentive. Activities are carried out daily and the outdoor play area is loved by her. The bonus factor is the location on a farm with surrounding fields and sheep which the children are able to experience when playing outdoors.
