OUT & ABOUT

Out & About

Little Lane Transport

It is part of the Little Lane ethos that we want our children to get out and explore. We take the children on mini-excursions to experience the local area; whether it’s a trip to the travel agent to collect brochures for role play, riding down to the meadows for picnics and feeding the ducks or a morning walk to Burghley. To facilitate this we have invested in a variety of different transport modes, including two types of specially designed stroller for transporting groups of up to 10 children – which includes 6-specialist baby seats.  

The wagons are weather-proofed with a sun and rain canopy - ready for whatever the day throws at us! It is pulled/pushed by a member of the Little Lane staff and pushed by another – we regular carry out risk assessments and have a strict policy for stroller operation in place. 

We have also added to three quad pushchairs and a Walkodile to our collection of way of safely experiencing the local Stamford and Easton on the Hill area.

Our Minibus

The Little Lane Nursery has invested in our very own minibus - a 9 seater VW Transporter Shuttle (you won't miss us in our flowery branding!). We have car seats for each of the children and during our outings we take 7 children and 2 members of staff.

Having our very own minibus means that we have the freedom to go to and from outdoor learning and forest school as and when we want. We now run our forest school and outdoor learning sessions over 4 days of the week, meaning that the majority of the children in the preschool get to access this valuable learning experience.

We can also plan trips based on our weekly planning - for instance we have been to a farm to see the new baby lambs.
