Welcome to Little Elms and thank you for showing an interest in our setting
We know how important your child is and aim to deliver the highest quality of care and education to help them achieve their best.
Our purpose built facilities in Cooks Road are set to offer a brand new wealth of opportunities in child care. We remain committed to care and provision of Early Years Education but with the added bonus of wrap around care for all children within the community. Little Elms is now registered with Ofsted for the care of children between the ages of 2–16 years. With this in mind our facilities have been planned by staff and experts to ensure that all age groups have the space and resources available that are appropriate to their needs.
Our aims
The focus of our pre-school is to enhance the development and education of children. This is achieved through:
Offering appropriate play activities which will aid the development of physical, intellectual, language, emotional and social skills and to enable the children to grow in confidence and self-esteem
Offering opportunities to all children regardless of race, culture, religion or means.
Providing a happy, safe, secure and stimulating environment in which each child can develop his or her skills.
Encouraging parents to become involved in the activities of the group.
Our facilities
Little Elms now has two separate rooms. Lady Bird room, used for the younger children and younger after school users and Bumble Bee room for the older children.
Lady Bird room is for children aged 2 years – 3 and a half years.
Bumble Bee room is for children 3 and a half years – 5 years.
