Our Ethos
Little Acorns is a natural, homely and stimulating Pre-school that children love coming to. We pride ourselves on our parent partnerships that allow key people and families to work together to support children in furthering their learning and development. We are responsive to children's needs and all children are respected and valued for who they are. The team works together to provide an enriching environment and stimulating, unique experiences that give a sense of awe and wonder. We work with the children to build resilience and independence giving them the confidence to believe in their capabilities
