About this day nursery

Little Explorers Day Nursery in Pakenham, Suffolk, offers a nurturing and stimulating "home from home" environment for children from birth to five years. The nursery is situated in a creatively converted barn, surrounded by lush open countryside, enhancing the children's connection with nature.

The nursery is divided into two main areas: the Acorn Room for infants under two, and the Oak Room for toddlers and preschoolers aged two to five. The Acorn Room provides a tranquil sleep area, a well-equipped play space, and a dining area, where routines are adapted to mirror the child’s home schedule.

In the Oak Room, children can engage in various activities including building, arts and crafts, role-playing, quiet reading, writing, and messy play with different textures like jelly, rice, and playdough. The nursery focuses on supporting each child's individual learning journey through a variety of child-led and adult-guided activities.

All staff are paediatric first aid trained, ensuring a safe and secure setting. Little Explorers aims to foster learning, sharing, laughter, and growth in every child by working closely with parents and providing dedicated key workers.
