Once I did leave they called me half an hour later to reassure me that he was happyily playing.\n\nIt's such a relief to feel so comfortable leaving my son with the lovely staff there.\n\nThey are also very flexible with their hours too which has been amazing for us.\n\nI highly recommend little fishes.",

What it's like

Staff warmly welcome children and their families to this friendly, little nursery. Children arrive ready to start their day and enthusiastically engage in activities. Staff support children's learning as they play. For example, staff help children to make play dough, encouraging them to smell and describe the ingredients. They support children to count wooden bricks as they build a tower and extend language, introducing the terms 'diagonal' and 'horizontal' as they play noughts and crosses. Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure. They have a very positive attitude to their learning, and they behave well.

What it's like to attend

Staff warmly welcome children and their families to this friendly, little nursery. Children arrive ready to start their day and enthusiastically engage in activities. Staff support children's learning as they play. For example, staff help children to make play dough, encouraging them to smell and describe the ingredients. They support children to count wooden bricks as they build a tower and extend language, introducing the terms 'diagonal' and 'horizontal' as they play noughts and crosses. Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure. They have a very positive attitude to their learning, and they behave well.

Inspector highlights

-   Children are confident communicators. Staff use books and stories well to support children's language development. They also use sign language and pictures to support younger children's development. 
-   Children are very independent, selecting activities and resources, managing personal care, and preparing their own snacks. 
-   Staff provide enriching experiences for children on trips, teaching them about road safety and understanding neighbourhood signs. 
-   Children of different ages play together throughout the day, learning from one another and supporting their understanding of their own needs and those of others. 
-   Senior leaders are highly effective; they regularly evaluate the setting's efficacy, ensuring continuous improvement and supporting staff with regular training and development. 

Areas to develop

-   1 adapt the learning environment, the learning experiences that are offered and the daily routine further to fully meet the needs of children under two years old 
-   2 provide extended opportunities for children to express their ideas through creative and imaginative play.

I would like to thank all the team at Little Fishes!! Our eldest has now finished as he’s starting big school next week. He has been with you for the past 2/3 years and has loved it! The little graduation party with the dress up uni hat etc was so sweet and we’ll treasure the picture for ever! Every single member of staff was consistently friendly, caring and understanding. On difficult days when our son wasn’t feeling himself you all had so much patience and kindness. We really loved his personal diary recorded each day and all the wonderful artwork he has brought home. He has gained so much confidence and we feel it has massively encouraged him to start big school without fear! We will be so happy to start our youngest son with you in September! FIVE STAR ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

My little boy loves going to Little Fishes in Braunton. I was so nervous about leaving him for the first time a few months ago as he's never spent any time away from me. The team were so understanding and allowed me to stay until I was comfortable to leave him. Once I did leave they called me half an hour later to reassure me that he was happyily playing. It's such a relief to feel so comfortable leaving my son with the lovely staff there. They are also very flexible with their hours too which has been amazing for us. I highly recommend little fishes.

A fantastic setting! I was worried about sending my little one to nursery at less than a year old, but he absolutely loves it. He beams with smiles when the girls let him in in morning. The setting is lovely and (most importantly) safe & secure. I love the attention to detail in the "what they have been up to" folder, so we can see all of his achievements there. I would highly recommend this nursery and so would Finn 🤩
