Employer
Little Oaks Nursery
Employer Description
In 1994 two Mothers, both qualified and experienced Nursery Nurses decided to use their first hand experiences to establish a childcare setting which would not only offer quality care but give emphasis to each unique child̢۪s needs, to ensure every child is supported in achieving their individual potential through the Early Years journey of Discovery.
Their vision is “To give children the life skills and tools to support their journey through life and build foundations for a bright future."
They believe it is imperative that early years experience is rec! ognised as an education for life and not just preparation for school.
