Little Fireflies Nursery at High Hurstwood

About this day nursery

Little Fireflies Nursery, established in September 2022, is situated within High Hurstwood Village Hall. The nursery is part of Newton Lang Childcare, a company with 14 years of experience running educational clubs.

Little Fireflies is committed to fostering self-confidence, offering a loving, secure, and nurturing environment that aims to feel like a second home. The nursery’s core philosophy, the Curiosity Approach, encourages children to become thinkers, feelers, and doers by replacing modern toys with everyday items to spark natural curiosity and creativity.

The focus extends beyond traditional academics to socio-emotional well-being, emphasising kindness, resilience, and independence. The facility provides spacious indoor areas with engaging materials, a library, an art studio, and a quiet zone for relaxation.

Outdoor play is extensive, featuring a water wall, mud kitchen, climbing structures, a vegetable garden, and a sensory garden. Additionally, the nursery benefits from a Forest School, allowing children to explore nature, build confidence, and develop imagination and physical skills.
