Little Ann Day Nursery

About this day nursery

Little Ann Day Nursery, established in 2005, is a private childcare facility situated in Thornton Heath, within the London Borough of Croydon. It extends its services to communities like Norbury, South Norwood, and Selhurst, offering exceptional care and early education for children from birth to five years old.

The nursery is committed to providing a nurturing, stimulating, and secure environment where young minds can flourish. They aim to deliver quality daycare in an atmosphere that fosters safety, happiness, and confidence in children.

Little Ann Day Nursery actively promotes an inclusive environment, valuing diversity across ethnicity, culture, religion, language, and background. They strive to provide a challenging and enjoyable learning experience for all children, regardless of any learning difficulties, disabilities, gender, or individual abilities.

The nursery actively incorporates the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, focusing on seven key areas of learning to support children's personal, social, emotional, communication, language, physical, expressive arts, design, mathematics, understanding of the world, and literacy development. Their approach involves engaging activities, continuous assessment, and tailored planning to meet each child's individual needs.

They also emphasize healthy meals and outdoor adventures for a well-rounded experience.

Our ethos

Little Ann Day Nursery is committed to the implementation of a policy of equal opportunity for everyone who wishes to or is likely to use our service and facilities. This commitment comes from our recognition that we are a part of a multi-racial, multi-faith, multi-cultural and multi-lingual community where the full appreciation of family, neighbours and colleagues will value differences and provide opportunities for people to come together and share their talents and skills in a mutually beneficial way. We aim to provide quality day care in a loving, caring, warm environment where children can feel safe, happy and full of confidence.

What it's like

Since the last inspection, staff have worked hard to improve this nursery. The nursery has a family feel and children are looked after by caring staff, and are encouraged to help and look out for one another. Making links between real life and books helps with children's learning and development, and staff support all children to do well.
