Nurturing curiosity and confidence through caring, joyful early education.
Little Tots Montessori Nursery - Reading
Mixed Ages Groups
At Little Tots, children learn in mixed-age groups, building confidence and social skills as they interact with peers of different ages. Younger children learn by watching and joining in with older children, while older children develop leadership and care for others. This approach creates a strong sense of community and stability, with the same caring staff supporting your child throughout their time with us, just like a family.
Forest School
We are proud to have been local pioneers of Forest School, bringing this inspiring outdoor learning approach to our community. Led by two trained instructors, our Forest School programme gives children the chance to explore nature, build confidence, and develop resilience. Through hands-on activities in our woodland space in Padworth, children learn about the natural world, use their imaginations, and develop a lifelong love of the outdoors.
Montessori
Guided by the Montessori philosophy, children learn at their own pace, choosing activities that match their interests and stage of development. This approach helps children develop independence, confidence, and a love of learning as they explore and discover through play. Our Montessori environment encourages children to become curious, motivated learners who are ready for the next stage of their education.
Why Little Tots?
Small Groups, Individual Attention
We have a low teacher-to-child ratio (1 adult for every 5 children), ensuring every child is supported, known, and cared for by familiar staff throughout their time with us.
Learning at Their Own Pace
Guided by the Montessori philosophy, children develop independence and confidence while learning at their own pace, with older children acting as role models for younger ones.
Indoor-Outdoor Free-Flow Learning
Children enjoy the freedom to learn and play both inside and in our large outdoor garden, engaging with activities that spark their interests and curiosity.
Forest School
Our Forest School, led by trained instructors, helps children build confidence and a love for nature through hands-on exploration in a woodland environment.
