We understand that every child is unique and that they learn in different ways and so we plan our curriculum to support children's individualism, their innovation, curiosity and independence. We want to bridge the gap between home and nursery. Our aim is to unlock the future for every child so that with our they can develop to be their best self.
Across our nurseries, we work alongside families and professionals to support children in their journey of learning and exploring. Little Folks are a growing nursery and out of school club chain. We offer safe, affordable, high-quality childcare for children and young people aged from 3 months up to 12 years of age.

Services
Since operating in 2007 Little Folks has grown its nurseries to include some of the very first neighbourhood nurseries, and former children's centres serving our local communities with quality childcare in a relaxed, nurturing and stimulating environment where your child will feel secure. Our passion for the early years sector drives us to be market leaders in innovation allowing the children to be individuals as part of a group and flourish.
At Little Folks Day Nurseries we follow Early Years Foundation Stage. Early Years Foundation Stage sets out statutory guidelines on children's safety, welfare and development. All of our settings follow all the statutory guidelines at all times. In addition, we use Development Matters part when assessing children's progress.
The everchanging environment of outdoors is stimulating and provides a multi-sensory place to play. It is one of the best and fun ways to learn!. Being outdoors allows children to use their whole body and develop gross motor skills. Climbing, running, riding bikes, crawling and jumping in the puddles allows for different muscle groups to be used.
At some of our nurseries you will find that our staff have started to plan In The Moment. This means that they do not pre-plan children's activities months, weeks or even days in advance. There may not be a theme or a topic for next week. Instead, when children show an interest in the topic or a particular subject our staff will ask questions and arrange the areas and resources to allow children to develop that interest further.
The nursery is set in two large converted houses which have been joined together. This has provided lots of space for different rooms for children to learn and play in. There are separate baby, toddlers and pre-school units. Each age group also has their own separate outdoor areas - this ensures that each age group benefits from the activities and environment that is set out specifically to meet their needs.

This a fantastic Nursery. My daughter previously attended another nursery which wasn't the right fit and we felt her needs were not been met sufficiently. Since attending here we can see her speech and confidence have both grown considerably in that time. She has made a lot of friends and has a good relationship with the teachers who I can't thank enough for all their dedication and support through these last few months.

Worst child care setting I have ever dealt with. My son with SEN attended here. He was injured in their care and no one was aware how. He was then allowed back after time off but turned away at the door. Staff say something else on the phone and different information when you arrive!!

All I hear is bad reviews and I regret sending my son to this Nursery it has affected his confidence and ability to be left at other care givers because he is afraid. They forced him out of nappies when he wasn’t ready. He used to beg me not to take him there. When I decided to take my son out of this hell hole I was billed for more than a year of childcare and threatened with bailiffs. I became so stressed I had to ask another family member to deal with them on my behalf. They do not angle personal data safely I have had staff take my mobile number and text me from a password protected computer

DONT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!!! the nursery is dirty and smells, most of there staff and management are rude and lie, they have left the front door open a number of times and right next door they have a shared house full of unfriendly people. Staff spend move time talking to each other then looking after the kids and express there hate re management, there afternoon dinner is bread sticks and sometimes dip!! They have no organisation and don’t keep bills up to date stress every parent lying to them they owe money!!! Data protection Is not at all good and give information out to anyone as the office

I don't know about gravelly hill but the Kingstanding site is Diabolical!, dirty carpets, old toys, cobwebs, dirty walls! Its funny that people that previously worked there or did placements have spoke negatively about the inside running of the nursery and their reviews are on Facebook!! Not one positive comment! They do not keep accurate records of payment and sent my details to a debt collector they also pushed up the fee without informing parents and later claimed they did! What for?! I do not know as the nursery is ABSOLUTELY FILTHY, oftentimes the staff to child ration was ILLEGAL! and as

Nursery is disgusting they do not send you invoices on a monthly basis I've only ever received one. The staff kissed my child on the mouth and all they did was move the staff to a different branch. This is kingstanding one it's disgusting. They take your money and lie about refurbishment. I've had several prank calls from them making threats to me. They charged me for a year and sent it to debt collectors after I checked I never owe them that amount. I've had to change my details because of the continous threats. I wouldn't recommend them. My child has been sent home with other children's nappies
