Meet the family
Highly qualified, deeply passionate, and absolutely dedicated to your child's early years.
Jane
Founder & ManagerBefore founding Little Explorers Nursery, I was the Head of an Infant School and Nursery. I remain incredibly hands-on to ensure our children are always cared for by people they know and trust.
Mary
Founder & ManagerJane and I have been friends for years, and I managed a large, busy nursery before we opened this one. I absolutely love working directly as the teacher in our Pre-School Room.
Built by families, for families.
With over two decades of combined experience in early years education, we established Little Explorers Nursery to bridge the gap between a structured educational setting and the warm, loving embrace of a family home.
We are incredibly hands-on. You won't just find us in the office; you'll find us in the mud kitchen, serving lunches, and playing alongside your little ones.

Resident Artist
Creative LeadAs a qualified early years teacher, I love providing a very special introduction to creative activities. Together, the children and I design stunning nature mosaics for the garden.
Music Specialist
Performing Arts LeadMy goal is to develop the children's concentration through drama and rhythm. It's so rewarding to help them set traditional tales from around the world to music!
Sophie
Visiting Yoga InstructorI run the weekly Yoga sessions here at the nursery. The children always get completely stuck in, and it's wonderful teaching them how to stretch, breathe, and relax.
Sam
Nursery AdministratorI'm the organizational heart of the nursery! I make sure all our policies, funding documentation, and daily safety procedures run perfectly behind the scenes.
