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've been using Little Achievers Forest School Nursery for our nursery provision for around 2.5 years with our eldest initially (who had an amazing experience in the preschool room) and now with our daughter (in the baby room). The facilities are amazing. Our eldest did swimming, sports, ballet and forest school. Our youngest is loved and cared for - nothing is ever too much. The staff are always happy to talk to you at the end of the day or provide reassurance throughout. We love Little Achievers Forest School Nursery.
Great staff.

I am so happy I chose Little Achievers for my son, he started at 1 year old and the journey for him and me has been amazing the whole way through. My son has so much confidence going to nursery and staying there. He has made great friends and trusts all the workers. I love hearing the activities they have done and the creative fun adventures they go on. He is more willing to try new foods at nursery, they cook good food for lunches. I would highly recommend.
They were great at communicating from a parent's point of view and did lots of amazing activities with the little ones.
Couldn’t recommend them enough!

My daughter started when she was around 10 months old, and is going to be 2 at the end of this month.
She absolutely loves going to nursery, always comes home extremely happy and sometimes doesn't even want to leave.
She loves the environment and the staff members who are extremely caring and provide the children with the love and nurture they need. I can not think of a better nursery to send my daughter to. Little Achievers Forest School Nursery has met all my daughters needs and our requirements. eg; Vegetarian meals.
The location of the nursery is one of my favourite things about the nursery. It is on a farm, and my daughter absolutely loves her nature. So seeing the sheep first thing in the morning and throughout the day is a massive bonus. She also loves playing in the barn which was recently built.
Little Achievers Forest School Nursery is always providing exceptional childcare and great communication with the parents overall.

I would highly recommend Little Achievers. My little girl has been so happy there and has learnt so much in the time she's been there. They have a great balance of learning and playing and I love that she gets to do so much outdoors. I can't fault the staff. They are all attentive, caring and kind and my daughter loves being with them. I get great feedback each day on her eating and sleeping patterns as well as her behaviour and progress, and it's a comfort to know my little one is in such good hands when she's not with me.
My daughter attends the nursery and since the day she started I have been so pleased with the high level of care she's received.

My daughter attends the nursery and since the day she started I have been so pleased with the high level of care she's received. Staff go above and beyond to make her feel safe and looked after and are responsive to her needs. She enjoys going and talks about her day with a smile on her face when she gets home. The activities at the nursery are all child-led and nothing is too messy which is fantastic. My daughter also loves the meals provided. The new barn development is outstanding, I'm a grown woman and would love to play in there myself!
My little girl has now left for school and was extremely sad to be leaving. We have had some great memories, walks out into the country to see the sheep, snowy days when we had the most amazing views, and not to mention meeting loads of friends. The nursery is fab, it's just the right size and...
My little girl has now left for school and was extremely sad to be leaving. We have had some great memories, walks out into the country to see the sheep, snowy days when we had the most amazing views, and not to mention meeting loads of friends. The nursery is fab, it's just the right size and feels like a close-knit little family. The staff there throughout the pandemic have been amazing, they have offered support and cuddles still, and gone out of their way to make the kids feel safe. It was a testing time for the small ones, and I think they would have suffered more if it had not been for the feeling of security offered by the nursery. She's gone to school a confident little girl, and throughout her time at Little Achievers, she has been well supported and cared for, it's been lovely to see her grow. The staff cannot be thanked enough.
My daughter has not been at the nursery long (4 weeks) but overall I think the staff are lovely and there appears to be a lot going on in the day (activities).

My daughter has not been at the nursery long (4 weeks) but overall I think the staff are lovely and there appears to be a lot going on in the day (activities). My daughter has settled in very well and staff reports lots of happiness throughout the day. I don't often get told what she has been doing all day and it is occasionally written in her daily logbook. It would be nice to know more about her day.
My child enjoys nursery a great deal. I've seen a lot of progress in her development recently. She is talking a lot more and her vocab has developed.

My child enjoys nursery a great deal. I've seen a lot of progress in her development recently. She is talking a lot more and her vocab has developed. I think most of the things associated with the nursey is great. The only drawbacks is the communication of key worker changes, new staff, her daily activities (this has now improved as the book is used more) and finally, I know of a dozen local nurseries using the app a lot more to inform parents about their child specifically with covid restrictions.
I feel very confident with the staff looking after my girls and I'm happy with everything my girls are learning at nursery.

My little boy has been attending this nursery for a year and a half and absolutely loves going, he gets excited every day when it's time to go. He often returns home having learnt something new. He adores all of his teachers there who are friendly and professional. The setting is wonderful and I couldn't really wish for a better place for him to attend.
Always very helpful, my son loved being here, so happy all the time, learns so much and is now able to say his abc's.

My only to comments for improvement would be for a better road surface and carpark.

My son has been at this nursery for two years and has come on leaps and bounds and has learnt so much. The nursery staff have been amazing with him and us as parents. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and look forward to my younger son starting in the next year.

My two girls absolutely love coming to nursery and I love the setting that they get to spend their days in surrounded by nature. The staff team is consistent and always give detailed reports from my girls day at nursery.
