Leading the way, learning through play!
We’re driven by the desire to provide the childcare we want for our own children. At Little Learners, young people have the best chance to learn and flourish in a warm and stimulating environment.
We opened our first nursery in Elm Park in 2015, followed by a second in the area in 2022.
Both nurseries have high-quality facilities, dedicated rooms covering all age groups, and nutritious home-cooked food, all provided by our teams of experienced, qualified and caring staff.
Little Learners is owned by LifeLine Projects, a charity located in Dagenham with over 15 years of working in Early Years provision and working with parents in a variety of settings.
Our nurseries
rooms
Babies
Our baby rooms are filled with bright, stimulating colours, textures and sounds but are transformed into a calm, relaxing environment at nap time. We endeavour to follow your baby’s home routine as closely as possible while they naturally adapt to the routine of the nursery. We work with you very closely (whether you are a parent or carer) to make this transition as smooth as possible. We are very happy for you to call and check on your child’s well-being as often as you need to as they settle in.
toddlers
Our toddler rooms are always bursting with fun, from our messy activities to our physical activities. The toddlers enjoy learning all about their bodies movements such as jumping, hopping, crawling and walking as they explore the soft play slides and have fun jumping into the ball pit. The toddlers are continuously learning new things and are very inquisitive and confident when exploring the areas of the room and activities.
2-3 years
Our two- and three-year-olds enjoy their own dedicated areas where they can make friends and learn how to play with their peers as they use their imagination and initiate games, as well as joining in with adult-led activities. The two- and three-year-olds can also interact with the older preschool children in an additional shared space. This stretches their imagination and encourages curiosity as they observe and get involved with activities that extend their capabilities.
Preschoolers
Our preschools rooms are a hive of activity, with activities including a messy play and an art and craft area. These enable children to explore their creativity, develop and practice fine motor skills and hand-eye co-ordination, compare textures while developing their language, communication skills and co-operation with one another. Children are naturally inquisitive, and this environment is designed to support their intellectual, personal, emotional and social development in readiness for school.
