About this day nursery

Growing Places @ Little Acorns operates as an outdoor learning facility spanning three acres, providing a dynamic environment for children to engage with nature. The nursery is committed to fostering physical activity and outdoor exploration, instilling in children an appreciation for their surroundings.

With dedicated spaces for creative play, storytelling, and group activities, Little Acorns offers a comprehensive outdoor curriculum, including campfires, den building, and woodland crafts. The facility also focuses on promoting emotional well-being for children, families, and the wider community.

Beyond its nursery offerings, Little Acorns hosts a holiday club for primary-aged children (Year R to Year 6) during school breaks. As an experienced childcare provider of over two decades, the service emphasises the individual needs and interests of each child, aiming to support their development in partnership with parents.
