Established in January 2016 by friends Savannah and Barkha, the nursery stemmed from their shared desire to create a high-quality educational setting. Both founders brought relevant experience: Barkha managed another nursery for over a decade, and Savannah contributed a legal management background. The facility was transformed from a disused health centre and quickly achieved an 'Ofsted Good' rating in 2017. The nursery prides itself on its experienced and highly trained childcare practitioners who foster a stimulating learning environment through play, with a strong emphasis on the children's personal development, behaviour, and welfare. Li'l Champs is community-focused and dedicated to delivering outstanding nursery services. The nursery provides children with their own outdoor play area, including facilities for tricycling, scootering, and water play. They also have access to a community allotment with raised beds for growing fruits and vegetables, encouraging an exploration of nature. Additionally, forest school activities, like wood carving and treasure hunts, are offered for pre-school children at a nearby Woodland Forest School. The nursery caters to a multicultural community, valuing respect and kindness, and offers tailored educational programmes to help each child thrive and prepare for primary school. Health and safety are paramount, with daily risk assessments and adherence to all government regulations, ensuring a secure and safe environment for all children. Our ethos The personal development, behaviour and welfare of the children in our care are at the heart of our ethos. What it's like Children receive a warm welcome and settle quickly, feeling safe and secure. They follow familiar routines and confidently access resources.
