Little Hedgehogs is a fun and stimulating environment where children from 2-4 years can explore a range of experiences both inside and outside.
Mrs Harris and Mrs Duffin hope to make your learning journey exciting and enriching this year.
Each term we will focus on a different topic and will use the children’s interests to help us choose our learning through play.
The children are nurtured and encouraged to be adventurous and independent, whilst making discoveries in the world around them .

Fruit is the only other chargeable item and this is entirely optional. Should you wish your child to be provided with a fruit snack, we charge 30p per session. Please advise the Nursery Manager if you would like your child to receive fruit. This is entirely optional and parents are welcome to send their children in with fruit snacks.
Any extra-curricular activities such as additional trips and visits which you agree to in advance shall be deemed to be supplemental to items met by the fees and will be charged for accordingly. Charges for trips will be provided 6 weeks prior to the trip date. Trips are entirely optional.
We do not charge for any other items. All activities are included in our hourly price.
Please see the full terms and conditions below.
Funding
We have funded spaces! We can accept both 15 hours and 30 hours term time funded places for our 2, 3 and 4 year olds. These hours can be with us or split between another provision, meaning your child can attend more than one setting.
Visit the Childcare Choices website for full details on early years funding and government help with childcare costs.
