Choosing the right day nursery for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. At Little Toes Day Nursery, we pride ourselves on providing safe and nurturing environments where children can flourish from as young as 6 weeks through to 4 years old.
Our day nurseries are thoughtfully designed to feel like a home away from home, giving children the confidence to explore and grow at their own pace. Inspired by the work of Anna Ephgrave, our approach places a strong emphasis on learning through play, allowing children to take the lead in their own learning journey.
A Play-Led Approach to Learning
At Little Toes Day Nursery, we believe children learn best when they are engaged and having fun. Our play-based curriculum encourages little ones to explore their interests, develop independence, and build essential life skills. Through carefully planned activities, we support each child’s social and cognitive development while nurturing their natural curiosity.
Our experienced practitioners create enriching learning opportunities every day, helping children to interact confidently with others.
Our Journey as a Day Nursery
Little Toes Day Nursery began its journey in February 2017, initially offering a crèche service providing short, sessional childcare for nearby health facilities. Due to growing demand and our commitment to high-quality childcare, we became Ofsted registered in August 2017, marking an important milestone in our development as a trusted day nursery provider.
Since then, we have continued to grow and now proudly operate four day nursery locations across the East Midlands. One of our most unique settings, Little Toes Clifton, opened in January 2019 and is located in the historic Old Police Station building. This special nursery retains original features, including the former police cell, creating a truly distinctive and engaging learning environment for children.
Helping Your Child Explore, Grow, and Learn
At Little Toes Day Nursery, every child is supported as an individual. Through stimulating activities and meaningful play experiences. We help children build confidence from friendships and develop the skills they need for the next stage of their education.
If you’re looking for a caring, play-focused day nursery where your child can feel safe and inspired every day, Little Toes Day Nursery is here to support your family.
