Welcome to the ‘Little Horton’ Nursery – 01274557143
Education
Research has shown that children that attend nursery learn and develop faster. Little Horton is a fully equipped nursery; we have created a fun packed, friendly and engaging environment where children can learn and develop.
Activities
We are always looking for new ways to make our children have fun. We do this through continous change and the introduction of new and engaging resouces. At age 3+ the children are at the transition point of joining main stream primary school.
Development
We monitor the development of our children and share this information with parents. This is very important to us so where we believe support is needed the together the parents we can provide the support needed.
We use Tapestry the leading online software to share useful development information with parents. Parents can always login to find out information about their children and make in input.
Safety
The safety of our children is a key priority. We like to see our children have fun but in the end we also want them safe and secure. We have set up our place and plan our routines with the safety of our children in mind.
Our experienced and qualified staff are an integral part of our safety process. Every staff is first aid trained and always there to ensure our children are safe.

Security is of paramount concern to us. With this in mind we operate a video Intercom access system to protect children and nursery staff. This system allows nursery personnel to monitor and control who can get into our building. Parents simply press buzzer at the entry door, staff sees and identify them on camera, before given access.
We operate an “open house” policy where registered parents can enter the nursery any time of the day. They can leave or collect their children without fuss whiles unregistered visitors without authority to come to the premises would not be allowed in.
CCTV operates all-round the premises for the protection of children, staff and parents. It drives away burglars, stalkers, vandals and other unwelcome visitors. Images are retained on the system for an extended period of time and then automatically erased
Your children’s education and wellfare are our main priorities
