Children playing happily at Little Kickers Nursery

Our Story

Passionate about every little one

We believe childhood is a magical time. Our team is here to nurture, inspire and support every child through play, exploration and warm, caring relationships.

Our Philosophy

Everything we do at Little Kickers is guided by a simple belief — that happy, confident children flourish. We create an environment where every child feels safe, valued and excited to learn.

Play-Led Learning

We follow children's curiosity, using play as the primary vehicle for learning, discovery and development.

Warm Relationships

Strong, trusting bonds between children, families and our team are at the heart of everything we do.

Outdoor Adventure

Fresh air, nature and physical play are woven into every day — rain or shine, outdoors is always open.

Inclusive Community

Every child and family is welcomed, celebrated and supported. Diversity makes our nursery richer.

Our Story

Little Kickers Nursery was born from a passion for giving children in Bellsmyre the very best start in life. We wanted to create a nursery that felt like a true home-from-home — warm, welcoming and full of possibility.

Our setting has been thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity and creativity, with dedicated spaces for toddlers and preschool children that grow with them as they develop.

We are proud to be part of the Bellsmyre community and look forward to welcoming families through our doors when we open in October 2026.

A Day at Little Kickers

Every day at Little Kickers is full of opportunities to play, explore, learn and grow. While every child's routine is different, we create a balance of learning, active play, creativity, rest and time to build friendships.

Arrive & Settle In

A warm welcome at the start of the day, giving children time to settle in, say hello and feel comfortable in their nursery environment.

Morning Play & Exploration

Child-led play and exploration where children can discover different toys, activities and areas while developing confidence, independence and social skills.

Learning Through Play

Fun, age-appropriate activities including arts and crafts, sensory play, stories, music, creative activities and early learning experiences.

Outdoor Adventures

Opportunities to get active, explore outdoors and enjoy physical play, movement and fresh air.

Meals & Snack Time

A relaxed opportunity for children to enjoy meals and snacks, develop independence and socialise with their friends.

Rest & Recharge

A calm period for children who need quiet time, rest or sleep during the day.

Afternoon Fun & Learning

More opportunities for imaginative play, activities, games and following children's interests while continuing to learn and develop.

Home Time

A positive end to the nursery day, with children getting ready to head home and share their experiences with their parents or carers.

Routines are flexible and child-led — every day is shaped by the children in our care.
