Little Adventurers Nursery aims to offer the greatest possibility for discovery, exploration and adventure within a home from home environment that promotes positive relaxed learning. They believe in having adventures with children every day, giving children as many spontaneous learning opportunities as possible and learning in the moment.
As a family run nursery, they are enormously proud of their setting which offers care of the highest quality to childcare from three months to five years. The highly professional and caring staff team are led by a manager who is an early years teacher with over 30 years' experience in early years education.
All staff hold professional childcare qualifications, have enhanced DBS checks and all full-time staff have paediatric first aid certificates as well as safeguarding training.
The nursery has both CCTV and a key fob door entry system installed throughout its premises for high level security.
The nursery's optimum nutrition menu has been devised in consultation with their in-house health nutritionist and their own nursery cook prepares fresh meals onsite daily ensuring the menu meets the whole daily nutrient requirement for children under five.
Parents and carers are encouraged to visit and see for themselves all that the nursery has to offer; including the wonderful nursery garden with a veggie patch and purpose designed mud kitchen.

We are so grateful for this wonderful nursery. Megan and Dan are so lovely and welcoming, even when my child brings in five books and a dinosaur to show them. Liz in particular is one in a million, words can't describe how amazing she is and we are so lucky to have her as my childs key person. The activities, especially the cooking they do, are fantastic and it has been so lovely seeing how much my child has grown in confidence and knowledge. Thank you Liz, Megan, Jan and the whole team for creating such a loving supportive environment and for knowing my child so well.

What an amazing review, thank you so much for taking the time out to write this for our lovely team. They will be thrilled to read such a heartfelt review - we are so proud of the wonderful relationships staff build with their key children and know that by feeling emotionally secure children thrive in our inspiring environments that the team create. Cooking as you say is such a great learning opportunity and we love including this for all our little ones each week. We look forward to a summer full of fun learning adventures with your little one.

It is very warming when I come to collect them at the end of the day and my son in Discovers 1 is laughing on the other side of the door with staff, loud enough for me to hear. My oldest son who is in Adventures 2 often tells me that he loves the grown up in his room and is always happy to come to nursery. Both boys always run to staff with cuddles when they arrive in the morning.
Thank you for taking the time out to write this review for us. It is wonderful to hear how settled and happy you find them at both drop off and pick up.

My little girl is currently in discoverers 2 and loves going into the nursery. From the moment you walk in the main doors to the nursery you are greeted with a huge smile from the staff. The staff in discoverers go above and beyond to fill the children's day with as many activities such as water...
Overall I think LA is a fantastic nursery where the staff are very friendly, welcoming whilst holding a high standard of professionalism.

Thank you so much for this heartwarming review. We are so pleased to hear that your little one enjoys her time with us and as you can see our team are hugely professional and we could not be more proud of the care and nurture they give every day. The team are hugely supportive of one another and we are proud to have so many long standing members of staff who have joined our nursery family. Supporting and working together with parents plays a huge part in helping little ones to develop and thrive and we respect that parents are the experts on their own children. Thank you for all your appreciative comments - the team will be thrilled to read this.

I wanted to recommend Little Adventurers Nursery based on our experience from September 2024 to date in Explorers 2 and Adventurers 2. Little Adventurers provides a really welcoming environment for little ones. They are particularly attentive if your child is struggling at drop off to comfort them & distract with breakfast or a favourite activity or cuddle. There is a big emphasis on outdoor play with a lovely large garden including play equipment & flowers to water etc & the children also go out on walks. The food menu is varied and prepared on site - sometimes I wish I was there for lunch! Even when your child changes room, the staff from the old room still take care to say hello when they see your child which reinforces the family environment that is created. Staff really get to know your child & you can see the bonds that form which is very special. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Adventurers.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review for our nursery - it really means a lot to the whole team. It's so special when parents can see the family environment that we nurture at Little Adventurers for their little ones. Our caring team always go above and beyond and build close relationships with the little ones they care for. A key part of our ethos is our optimum nutrition and outdoor play so it's wonderful that these things are noticed and appreciated by our nursery families. Thank you for recommending our nursery, we believe it's a special place for all the ones who join us and for our exceptional staff team!

My son started at this nursery from when he was only 10months old and he recently left to go to school. My daughter joined 2 years later also when she was 10months old and is still there. I love the nursery, they really make it feel like one big family. It's always daunting leaving your kids at childcare from a young age, but honestly I feel so comfortable sending my kids here. The staff are brilliant, the food options are amazing and I love they have everything freshly made in house. Both my kids have learnt so much here and they really do provide great opportunities and life experiences. Especially forest school in the pre school room, my son learnt so much from these sessions. Thank you to all at Little Adventurers, you are all truly amazing.
Thank you for this truly heart warming review. We feel privileged that you have chosen our nursery for both children, it's always lovely when siblings come and we already have that relationship with parents.

Thank you for this truly heart warming review. We feel privileged that you have chosen our nursery for both children, it's always lovely when siblings come and we already have that relationship with parents. Our nutrition is something we are very passionate about along with giving children lots of real experiences during their time with us. Forest School is also a very special part of our extra curricular programme that children benefit from in so many ways. Thank you again for taking the time out to write this for us, the team will be thrilled to read your comments.

My son is leaving for School after 3 wonderful years and my daughter has just started. He has so many lovely memories. From the home from home environment in the baby room to the wide variety of activities offered, and informal everyday learning in the pre-school room. The Staff are all amazing they care for and understand each child's individual needs. Home cooked healthy meals are served daily which my children both loves. A lovely well-maintained garden which the children love and use daily. My son is going to miss Little Adventurers very much.
We are so pleased to hear about your son's happy 3 years with us and hope he is getting on well in his first month at big school. Our team will be thrilled to read your review and it means the world to know that as parents you feel reassured that your little one is being loved and supported when...
We are so pleased to hear about your son's happy 3 years with us and hope he is getting on well in his first month at big school. Our team will be thrilled to read your review and it means the world to know that as parents you feel reassured that your little one is being loved and supported when they attend our nursery. Healthy nutritious menus are a real focus for us and something we are passionate about! I know the team will miss your little boy too but we will hopefully still see him when he helps to collect his little sister! Thank you for taking the time to write this, we really appreciate it.
We love Little Adventurers Nursery and are very sad that our son is soon leaving for school!

Fantastic nursery - our children love it. The staff are warm, with low turnover there is a consistent team for the children to develop relationships with. Great equipment inside and out, with trips to parks and strong links to the primary school to help with transition. We get daily updates and photos, plus tasty, healthy meals (children even help with cooking and preparing the snacks). Always clean, welcoming, and supportive - highly recommended

We are absolutely delighted to read your amazing review and we are so happy to know that as a parent you can see the strong bonds that staff build with children as well as recognise the range of learning activities and adventures that our team offer children each day. Our ethos is for children to be at the centre of everything we do; for our nursery to be a 'haven of gentleness' and one where children are nurtured and cherished as they grow and develop. We look forward to many more happy adventures with your daughter and our team will be bowled over to hear your detailed and heartfelt review. Thank you so much for taking the time out to do this for us, we all truly appreciate it and I have shared it with our whole team today.

With a number of new nurseries opening up in the area I would consider looking at other providers before recommitting to LA, Hopefully an increase in choices in the area will create more competition in the area and increased support from the government will make these fee's more manageable.

Dear Heidi, thank you for your review of our nursery and for your praise of our team, nutrition and extra curricular activities. Of course, we too are disappointed to be forced to increase our nursery fees year on year. Unfortunately, our hands are tied as these increased costs are directly related to the proportionately higher increase to the minimum wage that the Government have rolled out in recent years. Coupled with this, businesses also face increases to National Insurance contributions, business rates and other expenditure. Whilst we work very hard to mitigate against these mounting costs, we are also keen to ensure the quality of our provision, food, resources and activities like Forest School, baby yoga, music sessions and Sing and Sign still continue. We are also committed to supporting our amazing team of qualified and highly experienced practitioners whom will all directly benefit from the fees increase. We take all reviews seriously and will share with our whole team.

I have also noticed that the nursery is always very clean and the staff members are so welcoming, always with a smile on their face. In the mornings I know I'm leaving my daughter in safe hands and I trust the setting to take very good care of her!

My little one started here in October 2023 and though he was unsure for the first few weeks, the staff made him feel comfortable and made us feel at ease from the beginning! He now absolutely loves going there and always has a good day. Every single member of the staff is very friendly, helpful and approachable. His key workers ensure there are different daily activities to do which he enjoys and he has developed and gained so much confidence since joining. The weekly menu is carefully thought out which they change up every week to make meal times more enjoyable for the kids. They also ensure you get a daily feedback on what your little one has done for the day. Highly recommend this nursery!

From the moment we stepped into Little Adventurers to view it as a potential nursery for our daughter, we knew it was the one & we have only good things to say. Our daughter is thriving there. The staff are all so kind & friendly, they know all the children and parents on a first name basis. It is such a welcoming environment, the children are all so content and happy whenever we have been there. Our daughter absolutely loves going there and runs in with a big smile on her face. They have been extremely accommodating - supporting us through big transitions like potty training & the arrival of a new sibling.

We could not be more happy with how our child settled in and has grown since she attended nursery. The staff are wonderful, so kind and caring and they arrange many varied activities which my child enjoys and encourages her development. The food provided by the nursery is healthy and I like that the menu changes each week. The nursery has a family feel to it. My child loves attending each week and has a lovely bond with the staff there.

Lewis brings over 20 years experience of early years training to Little Adventurers. He has previously been in a deputy manager role and has Level 3 Business & Management Training. Lewis said that when he first went into childcare his passion was just about working with children but now he has developed that further and (along with having the experience of 4 of his own children) believes in keeping children happy and extending their interest through play. Lewis says, “Working at Little Adventurers has been one of the best supportive environments I have come across. It feels like a family here and it makes it a pleasure to continue my journey in early years education.” For us, it is great to have a male practitioner here at Little Adventurers and Lewis is such a hit with all our little ones!

Charlotte has been working very hard over the past 2 years, studying and recently achieving her level 5 in Early Years & Childcare. During that time, Charlotte has also been promoted from Assistant Deputy to Deputy Manager and she is based in our under 2’s room. Charlotte has been with the setting since before opening as one of the core team members. “Joining Little Adventurers has reminded me why I went into childcare 13 year ago; to give high quality care in a loving and supportive environment. Seeing the change in our little ones from when they first arrive and settle; supporting them as they develop all their skills in prime and specific areas; watching them grow in confidence and enjoy their time at nursery before transferring to school. There’s lots of flexibility at this nursery and it has a real family feel. Ginny is my inspiration with her knowledge and her practice.”
