Easton on Hill

The Little Lane Nursery is proudly based within a purpose-built Norwegian-style log cabin, originally constructed in 2011 as a preschool. The thoughtful layout and design create a unique environment that feels both inviting and inspiring — a space that naturally encourages learning, exploration and positive behaviour.

In 2019, we expanded our provision to welcome children from as young as 6 weeks. Our dedicated baby suite is located just across the garden within a beautifully converted school building. With its high ceilings and light-filled space, it provides a calm and nurturing environment for our youngest children.

We continued to grow in 2021 with the addition of a bespoke modular pod, creating a dedicated space for our preschool-aged children.

Across the nursery, our open-plan rooms are carefully designed to offer a balance of exploration and cosy, quieter moments with a child’s key person.

Throughout the day, children are provided with a wide range of opportunities to engage in role play, creative activities, and sensory experiences including water and sand play.

By taking the time to understand each child’s individual interests, our dedicated team are able to tailor play and learning opportunities both indoors and outdoors. Every child is supported by a named key person from their very first day, helping them to build secure relationships, develop confidence and achieve important early milestones — giving parents and carers reassurance that their child’s needs are consistently understood and met.

We are also proud to offer our own on-site forest school area, Buddleia Grove. Nestled within a natural woodland setting, this special space features a cosy yurt with a woodburner, a vegetable patch, den building areas, a fire square, and even a handcrafted slide. With a storytelling chair set amongst the trees, it provides the perfect environment for adventure, imagination and outdoor learning throughout the seasons.
