Welcome to Little Sparrows - an Early Years Nursery with Outdoor Learning and a Montessori Dimension.
For over 30 years, we have been nurturing children in helping them to become creative, resilient and happy little learners.
At Little Sparrows we do things a little differently. With a focus on outdoor learning and a Montessori-inspired approach, we see every child as capable and ready to grow, supporting their self-esteem, confidence and physical and well-being.
We want to nurture a generation of children who love learning. For us, learning is so much more than learning set skills and passing tests – it is about curiosity, wonder and a the joy of discovering the world.
We celebrate the learning journey, encouraging children to keep going when things feel tricky, to ask "why"? and to bounce back when things do not quite go to plan.
Our little learners are free to think deeply, to create without limits and to learn at their own pace. We give them the space to investigate, take safe risks and make mistakes.
ABOUT US
Little Sparrows is the longest standing day nursery in the Borough of Broxbourne. For over three decades, we've been caring and nurturing children from 6 month - 5 years.
Cheryl has been managing the Little Sparrows since it opened in 1989 and holds a Montessori and NNEB qualification. Her daughter, Rachel was one of our very first children and has grown up alongside the nursery. Today, she co-manages the business with Cheryl. With a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies, Rachel brings fresh ideas, innovation and a strong focus on training to our team.
OUR MISSION
We believe that with the power of great practice, together, we can transform children’s lives, shaping a future of curious learners who love to explore, discover and create.
Our mission is to provide exceptional childcare and education in a rich, real world environment, inspiring children to believe in themselves and achieve without limits.
What makes us unique is that we question, challenge and try new ideas to create the best experiences for children. We reflect, adapt and grow because we are always learning too.
PARENT PARTNERSHIP
We are here to support you at every step of the way. Our practitioners work hand in hand with you and your family, helping your child get the most from nursery and home life. We love it when families share their little adventures - big or small - bringing a touch of home into Little Sparrows each day.
