Our Nursery

An intimate, nurturing environment where every child thrives

Little Rainbows Nursery offers a truly unique childcare experience in our thoughtfully designed single-room setting, where children learn, play, and grow together.

Our home-from-home atmosphere, filled with natural light and carefully curated spaces, creates the perfect environment for mixed-age, early years learning and personalised attention.

Discover how our special approach nurtures each child's individual curiosity, confidence, and love for learning.

Our Curriculum Approach

At Little Rainbows, we embrace child-led, play-based learning following The Curiosity Approach principles.

Our screen-free environment features natural materials and open-ended resources that allow children to direct their own learning journey.

Our responsive practitioners observe and extend learning through thoughtful interactions, ensuring education happens naturally through investigation, experimentation, and discovery.

Mixed-Age Learning

Our single-room setting creates a natural family atmosphere where children aged 6 months to pre-school learn together.

Younger children benefit from observing older peers, while older children develop empathy and leadership through helping their younger friends.

This mixed-age environment mirrors real family dynamics and helps all children develop strong social skills and emotional intelligence.

Home-Inspired Setting

Embracing Scandinavian hygge principles, our nursery feels like a true home-from-home.

Soft, neutral décor, cosy reading nooks, and natural light create a calm atmosphere where children feel secure.

Our thoughtfully designed spaces with child-accessible furniture promote independence while maintaining that essential feeling of warmth and togetherness.

Learning in Nature

Daily outdoor exploration connects children with the natural world through seamless access to our outdoor space.

Inside, we bring nature indoors with wooden toys, natural fabrics, and organic materials that stimulate creativity.

This connection to nature supports physical development, environmental awareness, and natural curiosity about the world.

Fostering Independence

We nurture confident, capable children through an environment designed to promote independence.

Low shelving, accessible resources, and freedom to move between activities help children develop practical life skills and problem-solving abilities.

Our practitioners support children in building the confidence and resilience they need for lifelong learning.

Development-Led Ethos

Every child develops uniquely, and we celebrate these individual differences.

Rather than rigid structures, we observe each child's interests and developmental stage to provide personalised support.

Our skilled team ensures learning opportunities are meaningful, engaging, and perfectly timed to support natural growth and curiosity.

Nourishing Little Bodies & Minds

We provide freshly prepared, nutritious meals that fuel growing bodies and introduce children to healthy foods.

Our carefully planned menus accommodate dietary requirements, while mealtimes become learning opportunities for independence and social skills.

Children help with food preparation when appropriate, connecting them to their meals and building practical skills.
