About this day nursery

Little Starlings, operating as Cuddles and Care Children's Day Nursery, is dedicated to offering comprehensive childcare services to all families. They prioritise understanding the unique qualities of each child and their family, emphasising open communication.

The nursery provides a diverse range of facilities designed to foster exploration and learning through play, including a messy play zone, sand and water areas, a mud kitchen, a role-play area, a construction zone, and a quiet space. Additionally, there is a library where children can borrow books to share at home, and an accessible garden abundant with natural resources.

The nursery is equipped with child-friendly amenities such as low-level sinks and toilets, along with nappy changing facilities. They accommodate all dietary requirements, with vegetarian, vegan, and dairy-free options consistently available on their menus, ensuring positive mealtime experiences.

Little Starlings supports children through key developmental stages like potty training, self-feeding, and cultivating independence. Before transitioning to school, children are encouraged to become self-reliant and compassionate members of society, with opportunities for independent choices such as café-style snacks, independent toileting, and small group activities to help them acclimate to a school-like setting.
