Beginning the adventure at Little NULS is more than experiencing excellent Early Years Education; it is a place where children are deeply cared for, their development supported in a home from home environment and every day is enhanced with rich and varied opportunities to experience more.
Little NULS Nursery in Staffordshire welcomes children year-round aged 2 to 4 years old, providing excellent early years education and supporting their development in a home-from-home environment, with every day enhanced with rich and varied opportunities to experience more.
In our newly developed innovative Nursery spaces, Little NULS provides the highest quality of care and supports their all-important next step with us into formal education. As part of a 2-18 school known for county-leading academic results, successful sporting prowess and incredibly talented performers, you will feel confident about the investment you are making in your child’s future.
We provide an environment that is age appropriate, full of fun, laughter, adventure and curiosity; 2,3 and 4 year olds are not built to sit still! Children are naturally curious and eager to learn. Our children are our curriculum. When our children leave Little NULS, we would like them to have learnt to be kind, show respect, be resilient, independent and curious as well as showing aspiration and endeavour.
At Little NULS the children guide us in how we support them to grow and blossom into the best versions of themselves. Close relationships are key and we work hard with the children and families to establish close meaningful relationships, this in turn means we are able to extend the child’s interests and learning opportunities.
The curriculum at Little NULS starts from the age of 2 and follows the seven areas of learning from the Early Years Foundation Stage, ensuring that our nursery curriculum supports personal, social and emotional development as well as supporting your child’s communication, language, mathematics, literacy and more.
To help with the transition to Reception we have sessions for our Pre-School to meet the Reception teachers and spend time in the reception classrooms, as well as swimming lessons in the summer term, P.E sessions and time in the dinner hall. All of this helps with a smooth transition into school.
At Little NULS, we place extremely high value on child-led learning and providing developmentally appropriate experiences.
This means that each child has autonomy and choice over their learning – research shows that when children are engaged in something that fascinates them and makes them happy, their brain activity is at its highest. This is when meaningful learning takes place.
Our approach to educating our children is through play and role modelling. We encourage creativity by being imaginative with natural, open-ended resources.
During this cooperative play, our staff are actively spotting teaching moments and learning opportunities, supporting and encouraging our pupils every step of the way.
Our approach helps fire imagination and curiosity, as well as helping children develop their ability to think for themselves, explore their environment, make their own choices and be the masters of their own learning.
No two days at Little NULS are the same, and we always strive to provide a fun, dynamic and engaging programme of activities for our pupils.
We offer an array of weekly activities, including Forest School, French Lessons, Baking, Rhythm Time, Dance, Woodwork, and so much more! We also welcome external visitors, such as Wildlife Rescue Centres and local emergency services, to provide our pupils with opportunities to learn about the wider world and bring their learning to life.
We are fortunate to have so many facilities available within our school grounds in Staffordshire for our pupils to benefit from, including our dedicated Forest School space, 25m Swimming Pool, Dance Studio, D&T workshops, and more.
In Pre-School, we offer pupils Didi Rugby sessions throughout the year and swimming lessons during the Summer Term.
I can’t recommend Little NULS enough! Both my daughter and son had such a wonderful experience there. The staff are incredibly warm and friendly, and my children formed such strong bonds with them, often talking about their teachers at home with so much love. For my son, in particular, it was the perfect environment. He absolutely loved spending time outdoors and exploring. Now that they’re both in school, the transition was seamless, thanks to how well they were prepared. It honestly felt like such a natural next step for them.
