Little Gems Nursery

Here at Little Gems nursery provision, we are passionate about early years education. We understand how important a good start is, laying the foundations to future learning and well-being. As you enter our nursery environment, you will experience a nurturing atmosphere mixed with the excitement of learning.

We aim to provide an engaging and stimulating, inclusive curriculum that excites our children and is reflective of their interests and experiences.  Developing the whole child is at the heart of our ethos and our curriculum ensures our children become happy successful lifelong learners. 

Our nursery learning environment is spacious and welcoming. Play is at the heart of our learning, where children can use the child led set up of continuous provision which is carefully designed to meet the needs and interests of the children. The children are encouraged to make decisions about their learning, where the adults skilfully support and challenge learning and the development of key skills and knowledge.     

Children have access to the continuous provision set up, inside and outside throughout the day, where a safe and predictable environment awaits their ideas and creativity. This is thoughtfully combined with a range of explicit teaching, planned adult led learning and positive interactions.
