I am delighted to welcome you to Little Owls Pre-School. We hope this page give you all the information you need before you join our warm and friendly nursery.

At Little Owls, we combine the best aspects of a traditional nursery with a rich programme of learning and play, designed for boys and girls from the age of three. Our focus is on nurturing essential skills, building confidence, and supporting all-round development. As highlighted in a recent Inspection Report, “an outstanding start is provided in the Foundation Stage.”

Every day at Little Owls is an opportunity for creativity, imagination, and discovery. Our dedicated staff ensure each child enjoys a happy, stimulating introduction to school life. With a 1:8 staff-to-child ratio, we are able to support curiosity, engagement, and the joy of learning.

Mrs Jackie Hunter, Head of Pre-School

As an independent pre-school, Little Owls has the flexibility to shape its own curriculum. While we fully support the Department of Education’s Early Years programme, we enrich it with a wide variety of learning opportunities to support all areas of a child’s development. In the classroom, children explore language, literacy, numeracy, creative arts, and science through hands-on activities, structured play, and specialist teaching. Small class sizes allow our dedicated staff to nurture individual curiosity, confidence, and independence, ensuring every child reaches their full potential.
