Little Folks Day Nursery

About this day nursery

Little Folks Day Nursery in Kidderminster is a well-established childcare provider with a 99-place nursery at its heart. The nursery caters to different age groups, from infants (3 months to 2 years) in their dedicated baby room equipped with a cot room, changing facilities, and a kitchen, to toddlers and pre-schoolers.

The toddler room provides a more structured environment with specific areas for creative play, construction, role play, and mark-making, all designed to support the EYFS curriculum. Pre-school rooms focus on preparing children for school by fostering individuality and independence.

The nursery emphasises heuristic play, encouraging children to use their imagination with open-ended resources. Outdoor play is a core component of their philosophy, with three outdoor areas accessible to all children, regardless of weather.

They also offer before and after-school care for older children (5 to 12 years) attending local schools and a holiday club. The nursery operates on a key worker system to ensure personalised support and follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, involving parents in their child's assessment from the start.
