About The Little Village Nursery

The Little Village Nursery has been established for 20 years.

We are registered to take 50 children in total 0-8yrs

Our aim is: ‘To provide a variety of learning opportunities, taking into account each child’s interests and needs, therefore giving them the best possible start in life’

The Little Village Nursery is situated in Ansdell In between Lytham and St Annes it is close to local amenities for parent’s convenience. We are a small family run business and we are proud to offer what our existing parents call a “welcoming home from home” for your children to play and learn during their time at nursery.

Baby Room

The Nursery has a large Baby Unit, which at full capacity can accommodate 12 children aged 0-2 years. It’s a big step starting nursery and we aim to make that transition as smooth as possible for parents and children. We offer settling-in sessions that allow parents and children to become familiar with the nursery and feel comfortable safe and secure to make the most of their time here with us, as well as completing home visits. 

Each child will have a key worker and we feel that it's important the children and staff get a chance to bond before starting nursery easing parents' minds when children start and helping the children to ease into nursery smoothly. As we are a small setting we can offer a tailored settling-in package that suits each child as we know all children are different.

Staff are all very friendly and have lots of experience caring for babies and can offer advice if needed, we feel that it is a very welcoming environment. So much so that often parents stay during drop off and pick up to have a chat with their child key worker or even a little play with their babies after a long day at work! Parents are always welcome into the nursery we love it when they come in to see us and so do the children! Stimulation is important at this stage and we have a variety of activities and equipment to encourage this following the EYFS curriculum which is fully explained during a show around of nursery.

Each child has a daily care diary which is updated live on our Famly App, this way parents can see what their little ones are getting up too. 

We also have parents' evenings twice a year which allows us to catch up with our familied and see where the children's development is at home, as well as letting parents discuss any concerns and have a more in-depth look at their child’s learning.

Toddler Room

Once your child is nearing the age of two your key worker will discuss with parents about progressing onto the next stage of their nursery journey, the Toddler Room. Here the children enjoy free play as well as some adult lead activities inspired by the children’s own interests allowing them time to experiment with different activities such as:
Painting, jigsaws, sand, wet play, role play, construction, mark making and much much more. This is called continuous provision allowing the children to have choices and decide for themselves what they want and which area they wish to play in. Children will have their own key worker and this member of staff is on hand to discuss any problems queries or just general advice that parents may want to know. Most of our staff have worked in childcare for a long time and can be a knowledgeable source of information should parents need it. At this age children are growing in independence, Little village fully supports parents with potty training whenever the parent decides is appropriate. We also hold
 parents' evenings twice a year which allows us to catch up with our familied and see where the children's development is at home, as well as letting parents discuss any concerns and have a more in-depth look at their child’s learning.

Our Pre-schoolers love going upstairs to our specialised Pre-School room which are just that little bit more complex. They challenge the children just that little bit more before they take their next steps into school. We provide a structured learning program following the EYFS that helps children with ‘school readiness’ and challenges the children to achieve their full potential while still having fun and learning through play. Each achievement is documented and learning is tracked by your child’s Key Worker into their learning journey which is available for parents to look at live from our Famly App. We also have parents' evenings twice a year which allows us to catch up with our familied and see where the children's development is at home, as well as letting parents discuss any concerns and have a more in-depth look at their child’s learning.

Outdoors!

The children have the opportunity to play outside as often as possible. Climbing, running, bikes, balls, gardening, building, sand play, milk crates, tires, water, painting with many of the same provisions available inside. Children are learning all the time they are playing. As well as outdoors we also have a nursery minibus which allows the children to go on lots of outings to the local community.
