THE SETTING

Little bees offer a strong sense of community and provides a warm and nurturing environment. There is an excellent child adult ratio to ensure the children are getting the best possible care at this important stage of their learning journey.

Key to the ethos at Little Bees is that the children actively lead their own development with no pressure on them in any way.

We have a very gentle settling in policy, where there is no pressure put on the children. At the very start, all we focus on is that the children are happy and feel settled in their new environment.
Each day, the children play outside in the garden, going to the parks, Woodlands or Forest School once a week.

At Little Bees we educate and nurture the whole child, providing opportunities for each child to discover and develop their own unique talents and abilities.

Our vision is for children to learn in a stimulating environment and to become confident and independent learners using positive reinforcement.

'We are committed to offering the best possible care for young children. Children leave Little Bees confident and happy, with enthusiasm and a thirst for knowledge. 'We want them be ready for school'
