Little Nippers Childcare is an independent nursery open 51 weeks a year, Monday to Friday, from 8am until 6pm. We are an inclusive nursery catering for children aged 0 to 5 and offer free government-funded spaces for 2, 3 and 4 year olds. Our most recent Ofsted report, dating from May 2013, identified us as GOOD and praised the quality of childcare on offer. We are a Plymouth City Council Open Doors Nursery which means that other settings are encouraged to visit us to see and discuss our outdoor areas and our activity planning. It also gives us a chance to share best practice and learn from the other Open Doors nurseries,
We were founded in September 2012 and occupy an old house located near the Ridgeway, directly opposite a free long stay car park. We offer a stimulating curriculum, delivered by highly qualified staff, in a well-resourced environment.
The interior spaces have been entirely renovated and redesigned to provide a calm, motivating atmosphere where all children are encouraged to reach their full potential.
Our extensive outdoor space comprises a fully covered decked garden for our younger children, a safe, enclosed garden and a covered, free-flow area for the 2 to 5 year olds.
Each room is run by an NVQ3-qualified nursery nurse, alongside NVQ2 and trainee staff. A qualified primary teacher and Early Years Professional oversees the implementation of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum throughout the nursery.
