Little Acorns has an established reputation for high standards of care, our enduring commitment to holistic development, routed in self-directed play, nurturing the seeds for children to thrive and reach their full potential.
At Little Acorns, we firmly believe in the power of self-directed play as a cornerstone of early years education. This approach allows children to explore their interests, develop critical thinking skills, and foster creativity at their own pace. Through self-directed play, children learn to make decisions, solve problems, and build confidence in their abilities. It encourages curiosity, independence, and a love for learning that extends far beyond our setting. By providing a rich, stimulating environment and gentle guidance, we empower children to become active participants in their own learning journey. This child-led approach not only enhances cognitive development but also nurtures social skills, emotional intelligence, and physical coordination – all crucial foundations for future success in school and life
