Letting Little Ones Thrive
Welcome to Little Deers Preschool
We have been running for over 30 years and provide an exciting and stimulating environment for our Little Deers, surrounded by our beautiful Ashdown Forest.
Our location
Situated at the centre of the village in the Nutley War Memorial Hall, we believe in providing a safe and supportive setting that allows children to take their first learning steps through meaningful play.
Our day
We are open 30 hours per week (term time only) for children from 2-5 years old and gladly accept funded hours. We start with a smile at 9am with sessions until 12pm, 1pm or through until 3pm.
Our commitment
We believe in child-led learning being the most effective early years experience. Each session is filled with Free-Play to enable each child to learn in a way that interests and engages them.
Our Mission
Our goal is to present learning opportunities in a stimulating, diverse and fun way. Your children will be given every opportunity to safely explore the world around them, and will be nurtured in a stimulating environment that is supportive, sensitive and most importantly… FUN!
We aim to prepare all children socially and academically for Reception Class. Inclusive for all levels of learning abilities.
We get to know each child as an individual. We meet and exceed all safeguarding and Ofsted requirements.
We support the Forest School Learning Initiative. We take full advantage of the extensive and secure forest surrounding Nutley, going on nature walks to collect conkers, walks to investigate pond life and feed the sheep and horses. We’ve even explored the woodland for dinosaurs!
