Little Sparkles Nursery
Choosing the right childcare provider and settling your child into nursery can be both exciting and daunting. Here at LSN we will help you at every stage of this journey.
We provide both 15 and 30 hours entitlement for 2, 3 and 4 year olds, term time only. Our individual rooms are designed for specific age groups with visually stimulating environments. Staff encourage exploration and play aligned with EYFS standards and individual child needs.
For children aged approximately 28–36 months. The room offers sensory activities including messy play with sand, water, silk, rice, pasta, play dough and bubbles. Children benefit from a key person relationship scheme, learning through play with resources, songs, nursery rhymes and outdoor activities, plus an introduction to colours, shapes and numbers.
