EASTON ON HILL

Easton on Hill

Our Building

 The Little Lane Nursery has made its home in a purpose built Norwegian style log cabin.  Constructed in 2011 for the purpose of a preschool, so careful thought has gone in to the layout and design. The look and feel of log cabin really appeals to children, and is perfect for encouraging learning as well as good behaviour.

In 2019, we further expanded our offering, to include childcare from the age of 6 weeks.  Our new under 2 baby suite is located across the garden from the preschool building within a converted school.  The beautiful high ceiling, make it a beautiful space for our youngest members.

In 2021, we expanded yet again with a dedicated space for our preschool aged children, in the form of a modular pod and a quirky shepherds hut as a role play area!
 
Our open plan rooms combine opportunities to explore as well as quiet cosy times with their key person.

Throughout the day children are provided with a wide range of opportunities to explore different areas including a role play, creative play, water, sand and sensory play .

Understanding what each individual child enjoys, allows our dedicated staff to adapt play and learning opportunities regularly, both indoors an outdoors. With each child assigned a 'Key Worker' from day one, children are able to form solid relationships and build new key skills, with parents/carers safe in the knowledge that their child's individual needs are continually monitored and met.

Our Rooms

We have 3 rooms at The Little Lane Nursery for our babies, toddlers and preschoolers: 

Seedlings Room, Saplings Room and Woodland Room. Our garden has a tee-pee and Wendy house with plenty of fun activities for the children.

Seedlings Room

12 Babies, 1:3 Ratio

The Seedlings Room caters for our smallest family members. A beautiful open space, with tall ceilings, incorporating a separate eating area, messy play and sleep room with beautiful bespoke full sized cots.

Decorated in a vintage style, we wanted it to be a real home from home environment which is especially important for infants.

24 Children, ratio 1:4/1:8 (dependent on age)

The Saplings Room is for our children aged 2 years+, within a purpose built Norwegian style log cabin. The building was purpose built, so careful thought has gone into the layout and design.  The natural wood construction has a calming effect and the open plan layout provides a lovely environment for children to learn.

The room offers a free flow onto a covered terrace, giving children the autonomy to choose their activity.

12 Children, ratio 1:8 

The Woodland Room is the newest addition to our Easton on the Hill setting, offering a dedicated space to those in their final year before going to school.

The room is a purpose built pod, with everything the children and staff need in order to provide a stimulating and inviting environment.  In addition to the main pod, we also installed a quirky shepherds hut pod that we have set up as a role play room. 

We have continued our natural wooden feel, again promoting a free flow to the garden included up-cycled caravan.

Our Garden

The Little Lane in Easton has a beautiful wrap around grassed garden and artificial laid grass garden for our baby room.  The garden is segmented into various areas, including a construction shed, planting area, sand shed and water pump station to name but a few.

In the summer months we love nothing more than to get our Bell Tent out.

We are also incredibly lucky to have our own on site copse of wood joined to our nursery site, where the children have slowly been establishing are camp.
