Little Scholars Nursery

Little Scholars Nursery, serving the Derby City Council area in Derby, provides a truly nurturing, family-like environment where children feel loved, safe, and confident from their very first day. Dedicated early years professionals offer exceptional individualised support, fostering a strong sense of belonging and helping each child’s unique personality to flourish. The nursery excels in promoting robust language development, alongside foundational early literacy through learning ABCs and numeracy by counting to 20.

Children also engage in creative expression, with opportunities to learn new songs that encourage musicality and imaginative play. A 'Good' Ofsted rating reflects the consistently safe and supportive setting provided daily. Little Scholars Nursery effectively fosters children's confidence, with many showing significant growth in self-assurance and developing a stronger sense of capability within its warm, small setting. The team is attentive and responsive to individual needs, creating a 'home away from home' where learning joyfully happens through play, discovery, and laughter. The nursery supports flexible age groups with dedicated rooms and smooth transitions between them, ensuring continuous development pathways.

Diverse session options are available, accommodating various family needs, and the nursery proudly participates in free childcare schemes, including 15 hours free childcare, offering excellent value and accessibility for families. Staff maintain consistent and approachable communication with parents, providing daily updates on children's activities and learning, and are responsive to requests regarding routine adjustments, ensuring families feel informed and connected.
