Little Learners Northampton

Little Learners Northampton A beautifully unique nursery for children aged 0-5 years! Be amazed & fall in love at first sight! They are astounding!

Our Northampton setting is based in a beautiful and unique grade 2 listed building and has some astonishing features which naturally inspire the creative mind! We have been on an incredible journey since first opening our doors in April 2015 and became very popular, very quickly. The true beauty of the building catches the eyes of many, and combined with our unique approach; people fall in love at first sight and children flourish and shine in their wonderful environment. We have developed a passionate and caring team who love their job and strive for the best. They show incredible dedication and creativity and they are always going above and beyond to meet the children’s needs - physical, emotional, care and educational! The nursery building is across three floors, however, we only use the ground and first floor for the children’s spaces. All children have regular access to our large outdoor space with preschool children having ‘free flow’ between indoors and outdoors. We are continually developing our outdoor spaces around the children’s likes and fascinations and have a few different areas available, including a secure baby garden and our outdoor classroom which is based in the trees and offers a unique and special learning environment. We prepare children for life, not just for school, with practical and hands on experiences and learning opportunities. We answer children’s questions with a ‘let’s find out together’ approach and we collaborate and research together with no pre-conceived ideas of where it will take us, because each discovery will lead to the next one! Child led learning allows us to focus on the children’s keen interests and fascinations and also affirms to children that their ideas, input and solutions are just as valuable as our own!

The magic from fairy week has continued this week as the children cast spells and concoct potions, with a good meansure of creativity and imagination. Wands evolved into bubble wands, testing out different solutions which linked to our potion station where children used test tubes to experiment mixing ingredients and colour. 🪄🧚🧪

Our fairy tea party was a playful celebration of imagination where creativity knew no bounds ✨

We read stories about fairies, did magic spells, had craft areas for wand making and designed our own fairy gardens. During our magical week we had been writing letters to fairies and posted them in our special post box. Water play with many rose petals, glitter and colours as well as potion making helped our hand eye coordination, learning about mixing media, maths skills for quantities and strengthened our finger muscles when we used pipettes.

We made our own fairy cakes and had a lovely picnic in our fairy garden. Thank you everyone for helping us have a magical time and we believe the magic will continue the next week….

✨Exploring our senses ✨
In fascinations the children have been exploring and learning about their five senses. This followed on from their initial interest in ice cream,flavours and ingredients.
During one of our activities the children practiced their independence and hand eye coordination when prepping herbs and fruits for our “smelling tray”. The group discussed their opinions on the different food items, sharing ideas about the flavours and smells.
Once the children had investigated the ingredients and the essentials oils we transitioned into touch and texture the following week. Fascinations explored all things crunchy,squelchy and soggy using a variety of messy play resources ranging from cornflour to lentils.
It has been lovely observing the children using descriptive language and becoming more aware of their senses and the impact our senses can have our well being.
Well Done.

✂️Letting children use scissors is vital because it builds hand strength, improves hand-eye coordination, and develops bilateral coordination. These foundational actions prepare kids for future tasks like writing and drawing.✂️

In connections the children have really developed their understanding of how to use scissors safely, but following instructions and using them at the table. We’ve seen increased confidence by allowing them to have access to them!
