The Little Lane Nursery

About this day nursery

The Little Lane Nursery is a small, family-operated childcare provider with establishments in Stamford and Easton-on-the-Hill, dedicated to delivering exceptional early years education and care for children from birth to five years old. The nursery prides itself on offering sessional day care, accommodating both full and half-day attendance.

Their comprehensive fees cover all meals, formula milk, snacks, beverages, and a care package that includes essential items like nappies, wet wipes, nappy cream, sunscreen, liquid paracetamol, and antihistamine. Parents receive daily updates through the "Famly" app, supplementing online learning journals, and the nursery hosts special celebration days, such as an annual family fun day and graduation events.

The Little Lane Nursery does not provide term-time-only places due to its intimate scale. They also offer a subsidised Forest School session off-site.

The nursery actively supports government funding schemes for 2, 3, and 4-year-olds, stretching funding across 51 weeks of the year to align with their 52-week operating schedule. An Additional Service Charge is in place to maintain high-quality provisions, covering elements not fully met by government funding, such as meals, the care package, and special events.
