Our nursery in Clatford is dedicated to providing inclusive care to children aged 3 months to 5 years.
We believe that children learn best through play and connection, so we’ve created a warm environment where they can develop at a pace that feels right for them while having fun along the way.
We know that choosing the right nursery for your little one is a big decision, and we’ve built a strong reputation on providing childcare that is supportive, nurturing, and centred around each child’s unique needs.
Our nursery is conveniently located for local families and daily drop-offs, and we’re open from 7:45 am to 5:45 pm, with childcare support that fits your schedule.
We understand that children get sick from time to time, too, so we’ve created an illness policy that isn’t overly restrictive but still puts your child’s wellbeing first.
Childcare funding is available for many families – you can learn more about our fees on this page.
At Littleworld Day Nurseries, we’re focused on learning and development, but we don’t forget the fun.
We encourage children to explore their interests, build strong connections, and use their imagination as they learn more about the world around them.
As a nursery, we use Development Matters guidance and follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework to underpin our learning and development processes.
All children are assigned a key person at our Clatford nursery; this team member supports your child as they transition into nursery life, helping them to feel safe and included.
Your key person is dedicated to ensuring your child’s unique needs are met and is on hand to share daily updates with you.
They are also responsible for observing your child during self-chosen play to identify the best ways to support them, while maintaining accurate records of your child’s development in an online Learning Journal.
We work in partnership with you and always welcome you to read and add to your child’s journal, and share more with us on what your little one loves to do at home, so we can plan the most engaging activities for them.
