A Child-led approach to learning

Our goal is to ensure your little one's happiness

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

A second home for your child

We provide an environment that enables children to thrive.

At Little Acorns, we pride ourselves on creating more than just a day nursery – we offer a true second home for your child. Our warm, welcoming environment is designed to provide the safety, love, and support that children need to blossom and thrive. Our experienced staff members are not just caregivers; they're nurturing mentors who celebrate each child's unique personality and potential. In our homely, stimulating spaces, children feel secure to explore, learn, and grow as individuals. We foster a sense of belonging and community, where every child feels valued and respected. Just as a little acorn needs the right conditions to grow into a mighty oak, we provide the perfect blend of care, guidance, and freedom that allows each child to develop strong roots and reach for the sky. At Little Acorns, your child isn't just attending daycare – they're becoming part of an extended family where they can truly flourish.

"Choosing Little Acorns was the best decision we could’ve made for Lauren. Her confidence and creativity continues to grow every day she’s there. She’s happy going in and always comes out smiling. The staff are so professional, friendly and you can see how much they love the children. Going back to work after maternity leave was so much easier knowing that Lauren was so well cared for. "
