Little Explorers Preschool – Leighton Buzzard

September Spaces Available – Apply Now!

Little Explorers Pre-school are proud to offer the children of Leighton Buzzard and surrounding areas a caring and nurturing setting, where children thrive under the quality care of our expert team.

Based in the Scout Hut, this large, flexible and welcoming space, alongside the use of our open green spaces and amazing areas for Forest School like our fire pit, ensures that your children have plenty of exercise, fresh air and opportunity to enjoy a healthy life style.

Little Explorers is committed to providing 28 places for children from 1 to 5 years with a safe place for living, learning and accessing a wide array of experiences which are valuable to emotional, social and physical well-being. Our commitment to the principles of Forest School are key to the opportunities we provide.

Alongside meeting curriculum guidelines and experiencing other cultures, faiths and developing peer relationships, our aim is to equip our children with skills, knowledge and confidence which is designed to carry them forward into both their school and personal lives:

  • Building confidence and independence
  • Physical development – Running around and climbing trees develops muscle strength, aerobic fitness, and coordination
  • Learning through experience
  • Exposing children to manageable risks
  • Learning about nature and the world around us

Google Review of Little Explorers:

“Our daughter was lucky enough to be part of Little Footsteps pretty much from the beginning. I’ve never seen her so happy to go in! The staff are amazing, they genuinely care your child and make sure they feel safe and happy. They have all the best bits of a nursery setting and a childminders. The outdoor space is expansive and they really make the most of it. There are many activities indoors that the children can choose from and our favourite part is the fact that they take the children out to various places (library, park, shops to buy ingredients!) all life lessons etc which they document and put up on tapestry, a daily set of photos. We could not be happier and looking forward to my youngest starting with them at some point soon. Highly recommend!”

I have 7 years of experience in childcare alongside a level 4 qualification, I enjoy organising and doing something different with the children that they may not have experienced before. I love drawing, being creative and thinking outside the box.
