We love what we do
Our Commitments to you and your child:
At Little Explorers we value each child individually. We understand every child is unique and has individual needs. We are fully committed to supporting them within their Health, Care and Educational needs. We offer a broad learning experience and curriculum to each child, we differentiate our planning to ensure inclusion. We are fully committed to working closely with the children and their families to raise outcomes for every child, We understand that children learn at different rates. We are committed to working as closely as possible to other practitioners to help to support each child throughout their time at Little Explorers. We have links with the local community so that we can signpost children and their families to further help if needed. We understand that early intervention can benefit children.
