Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders understand how to support children with possible special educational needs and/or disabilities. They work hard to identify any early concerns and work with parents to put an individual plan in place for children who need it. They work with external professionals, where necessary, to support the needs of these children.

Outdoor space

Staff plan many opportunities to encourage children's physical development. Children enjoy activities, such as making sandcastles and hanging ornaments on a Christmas tree, as they practise using their small hand muscles. They ride bikes, jump on the trampoline, throw and catch balloons and enjoy a variety of other good opportunities to use their larger muscles.

I would have given them more than 5 stars! Staff is great, kids are VERY happy there! Out of my 5 children, the older two went to a different (outstanding) nursery and it didn't feel as lovely and nurturing like in Little Lamps, so all the rest 3 siblings went here and we couldn't be more happier! Children are thriving, learning and growing with a genuine respect, care and attention! It is evident even after a while after they left their nursery, they always want to pop in and say hello to their teachers who instilled love in them... Thank you everyone for making my kids shine!

The absolute best! I do not leave reviews often, but this one was a must. My experience with little lamps has been amazing. My daughter started with them when she was just 10 months old, it was really difficult as she was so young. The team have been so nurturing, she is now almost 2 years old and it is her second home. The team are like a family. They provide daily updates and biweekly observations of wonderful activities. Plus their vegan freshly cooked lunch and snacks puts my dinners to shame. It is a guilt free experience because I know she is in a wholesome environment, socialising, learning and expanding. Thank you Little Lamps, I couldn’t recommend more!

We are so happy with Little Lamps nursery! Our son always looks happy and well cared for at drop off and collection. His teachers are so caring and always happy to see him at the door. He comes home singing songs and saying his teachers’ names. The staff’s communication with parents is great, which we really appreciate. They update the app regularly with his Daily Diary and observation updates so that we can see what activities he’s been doing. They are kind and flexible. He is doing so well thanks to their support and care. Highly recommend Little Lamps!!

Warm, professional, and truly child-focused Little Lamps Nursery has been amazing for my 3.5-year-old daughter. The staff are caring, patient, and attentive even during her early settling-in and recent illness. Every day is packed with creative play, emotional learning, and genuine joy. They celebrate each child’s background and make families feel supported. My daughter always excited to go to nursery! means that she is enjoying and love being with her friends and teachers. Couldn’t ask for better!

The most wonderful nursery! I cannot speak highly enough of Little Lamb Nursery in Cricklewood. From the moment we joined, the entire team has been nothing short of amazing 🤩 so kind, thoughtful, and truly dedicated to the children’s development and wellbeing. A special thank you to Masouma, the incredible nursery manager, whose warmth and professionalism set the tone for the whole nursery, and to Jaya, one of the wonderful teachers, who has shown so much care and attention to my son. My little boy is currently two years old and has absolutely flourished at Little Lamb. His language has developed so quickly 🙏 he speaks so well, knows his alphabet and numbers all thanks to the amazing staff and their consistent efforts to nurture and educate. He is always happy when I pick him up, looks well cared for, and often tells me all about the garden, the trampoline, and the fun activities he’s enjoyed. The meals are excellent, and he eats very well there something that brings me real peace of mind as a parent. Choosing Little Lamb was one of the best decisions I’ve made. They’ve created a truly loving, stimulating environment, and I could not recommend them more highly.💕❤️💕❤️💕
