Their Interests…Their Journey
Welcome to Little Pioneers
Little Pioneers Nursery has been created to give local children the very best start to their educational journey.
As part of our established infant and junior school federation, Little Pioneers benefits from highly experienced EYFS staff, strong leadership, and a clear pathway into primary education — all within a caring, community-focused setting.
Our nursery will support children’s development through offering a high-quality environment, child-centred learning and a strong relational approach across communication, confidence, creativity and curiosity, helping every child grow into a happy, independent learner.
Children
We nurture curiosity, imagination and independence in a calm, natural setting where children feel safe to explore. Inspired by Reggio Emilia and Montessori, our child-led approach values each child as a capable, creative thinker. Thoughtfully designed environments and open-ended resources encourage confident, lifelong learners.
Families
Little Pioneers offers continuity and reassurance, with a smooth transition into our infant school. Parents benefit from being part of an established school community from the very beginning, building relationships with staff and other families early on.
Community
Our nursery strengthens local provision for early years education, helping families stay connected to their community while supporting working parents. Little Pioneers is a long-term investment in local children and future generations.
