Welcome to Little Firs Childcare & Nursery. Our mission is to provide a happy, stimulating and secure environment following the Every child Matters five outcome framework, which provides the highest standard of care and education for all the children


Our Main Aim is to provide an enriched and enabling environment in which children are able to thrive and grow and develop into independent and confident children that are able to meet their full potential and become learners for life, ensuring they are ready for school.


"Being Healthy, Staying Safe, Enjoying & Achieving, Positive Contribution & Economic Well-being"


Our Mission Statement is to provide a happy, stimulating and secure environment, which follows the Every Child Matters Outcomes, and the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child to ensure that our children are healthy, safe, enjoy and achieve whilst supporting emotional well-being.


All this provides the highest standard of care & education for all children.


Our Ethos is that 'Every Child Matters' and their early experiences lead to their development in ways that affect their future life chances.


Furthermore, Parents are the most important support for children's development and to support early learning in our setting, we must work in close partnership with our children's parents and carers.
