About us

At Little Adventurers, we believe that what young children need more than anything is to be cherished and allowed to live a rich childhood, full of the best things you love when you are small.

Our passion is that each child should grow up knowing how special they are, having super confidence and self-esteem. As children go through our nursery, we want to grow roots and wings- roots to know who they are and the special place they have in the world, and wings to exercise what they’ve learnt in their ongoing journey of life.

Our very special nursery offers high quality childcare and aims to be an extension to each of our little one’s own family. Our learning environment and our hand-picked staff team aim to support creativity and imagination as well as fostering warm friendships with other children and adults to support each little one to thrive and flourish.
