Little Stones Pre-School T/A Primrose Cottage

About this day nursery

Little Stones Pre-School operates two pre-school locations and one full-day nursery in Aldwick and Bersted, catering to children aged 0-5 years. The nursery prides itself on offering a distinct experience from traditional pre-schools.

Their approach is rooted in providing a happy, safe, and stimulating environment that fosters learning. They strongly value outdoor experiences and aim to ignite children's curiosity and enthusiasm through building strong relationships.

The nursery embraces a holistic educational philosophy, drawing inspiration from Forest School principles, Reggio Emilia, and Steiner approaches to complement the Early Years Foundation Stage guidelines. This integrated method focuses on developing confident, independent, and resilient children, well-prepared for their transition to school.

They emphasise child-led outdoor activities to encourage imagination, problem-solving, and collaboration. Additionally, indoor spaces are designed to promote learning across all areas of the EYFS, encouraging free-flow play where children's interests guide their learning journey.

Little Stones is committed to working with families and the wider community to safeguard children's well-being and rights.
