Little
Chums believes that learning through play and use of the outdoor
environment is an essential part of children’s development. A range of
activities will be provided to all of our children, with our planning
displayed on our planning boards.

Settling In
Little Chums offers free “settling in” visits of an hour or two, before your child’s official start date.
These visits enable you and, most importantly, your child to become familiar with their new and exciting environment as well as offering an opportunity to become acquainted with a friendly, caring member of staff who will care for your child day after day - your child’s 'key worker'.
Nursery Wrap Around
Little Chums operates a wrap around service to selected nurseries and schools. We will take/collect your child to/from school for their morning or afternoon session and care for them at Little Chums for the rest of the day. This includes snacks and meals as necessary.
Please contact us for information about which schools we offer this service for.
