What it's like

All children are very happy and confident, even the youngest are independent and choose where they would like to play and what activities to participate in. Children enjoy challenging and unique experiences, such as making jam sandwiches and pouring their own 'tea', and exploring the solar system by learning planet names and creating space-themed pictures. They also enthusiastically bring their imagination to life by creating astronaut costumes and 'flying' into space.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff attend regular and beneficial training, including recent training on how to support children to develop their communication and language skills, such as using signs and symbols as visual prompts. As a result, staff are confident to support all children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to communicate effectively.

Outdoor space

Children learn how to keep themselves and others safe by talking about the safety rules of how to cross the car park to the garden with minimal risk. Each member of staff takes responsibility for an area at the setting, such as the garden, and monitors how effectively children use the area and how to enhance learning opportunities.

My daughter, niece and nephew all attended Little Treasures. They are all very different with their own personalities and LT gave them all the most wonderful experience. They treated them like individuals and encouraged them to explore their own interests through special themed weeks and activities. My daughter was especially taken by Kelly and loved Gemma cuddles. The ladies care so deeply about the children and I felt comfortable and understood as a parent. Kelly was always happy to listen and advise when we went through challenges such as sleep issues. I appreciate the effort that was put into making special memories such as nativity plays and the leavers graduation ceremony. I’ll forever be grateful to LT for the loving and nurturing care they showed my daughter which gave her the confidence to take the next step into school life.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. Both my girls went here and thrived. All the staff care so much about all the children and they have so much fun together. They offer an amazing variety of activities, different things each day, that are fun for the children and aid with learning. The staff are so supportive with everything and communicate all the things the children get up to really well with pictures and very detailed write ups. The whole environment is just amazing and I will highly recommend them to anyone with nursery aged children.

My eldest came to little treasures and graduated last summer , he grew so much whilst there and is now loving school because of it . My youngest has been coming for 6 months now and is also loving her time there and making new friends. I wouldn’t send my children anywhere else and feel at ease when I leave them and know they’re in the best hands and being cherished too. Thank you xx
