Little Learners Day Nursery

Leaf collecting, cutting and picture-making give a concrete flavour of Little Learners Day Nursery's learning in November 2023: children explored garden materials and practised handling scissors. At its 24 November 2023 inspection, Ofsted rated the nursery Good and found safeguarding effective.

The nursery serves children from birth to five at Camp Hill Primary School, Hollystitches Road, Nuneaton, CV10 9QA. Its inspection offers useful detail about language, rest and individual support, alongside two clear areas requiring attention.

The early years foundation stage sets the framework for children's learning, development and care: activities should build their skills as well as meet their everyday needs. In November 2023, staff planned around children's interests and adjusted challenges as children moved between rooms. Questions gave children thinking time rather than demanding an immediate answer.

A familiar welcome song linked the rooms in November 2023, giving children repeated opportunities to practise words. Garden leaves became material for creative work and cutting practice. These examples connect language, exploration and physical skills to ordinary nursery experiences.

In November 2023, staff supported children with special educational needs and/or disabilities using pictures to aid communication, spaces for calm and individual adult attention.

In November 2023, staff gathered information about children's interests and family backgrounds before they started, helping them respond to unfamiliar situations. Babies received comfort from adults and settled for sleep in a peaceful space; older children had quieter periods, with different areas used to accommodate rest and activity.

Communication in November 2023 combined an online app with daily conversations. Staff also shared assessments of children's learning, giving parents something specific to build on at home.

Opening hours are 7.30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. The nursery operates throughout the year, closing on bank holidays and for one week at Christmas. That calendar matters for families arranging care around work and holiday cover.

In November 2023, the nursery provided funded early education for children aged two, three and four.

The address is Camp Hill Primary School, Hollystitches Road, Nuneaton, CV10 9QA.

• Quieter children. In November 2023, less vocal children sometimes received less help to participate than confident children. Their involvement in group activities deserves attention.
• Drinking habits. In November 2023, some children brought squash from home, and stronger work with parents was needed to support oral health. This matters when agreeing everyday drink routines.
• Your attendance plan. The weekday opening window and Christmas closure shape childcare planning. At a visit, ask how booking and funded hours would fit your required days.

Little Learners suits families whose childcare needs fit weekday opening and an annual Christmas closure. Its November 2023 inspection provides concrete reasons for interest: thoughtful rest arrangements, communication with parents and support adapted to individual children. Participation for quieter children and healthy drinking habits are the practical cautions to weigh alongside those strengths.
