Covid update:

Please skip to 36 minutes to see a news clip on how the childcare sector has been affected by Covid19.

This might give families more understanding of the difficulties nurseries are facing right now in order to stay open and support their valued families and wonderful children. Hopefully this difficult period will raise awareness of an undervalued sector which is absolutely essential to the economy. Hopefully the government will choose to provide the sector with the critical support needed for it to sustain itself.

We here at Little Leaders we are passionate about providing high quality care and education for all children and we have invested a lot to ensure we can be open for our families and continue to provide the care and education our parents are looking for.

More needs to be done to support the childcare sector to bounce back from this difficult time so that more nurseries do not have to close their doors.

More needs to be done to support families all over the country to have access to high quality childcare and education.

This is something that is now starting to be listened to and hopefully a resolution can be found by the government to support the childcare sector.

My thoughts are with all those hardworking and dedicated teams that have had to close their doors with many jobs lost after years of hard work and dedication to their families.

I would like to thank our families and the local community for the support we have received throughout the lockdown period including OneStonegrove who have not only supported us but many families in our local community throughout this difficult time.

Thank you

Here are some more photo's of our Edgware children focusing on their pre-school learning!

They spent their time this morning placing numbers in order 1-20 and then counting objects on the cards to place them with the correct numbers. They did this as a team and with very little support.

Each child got to have a turn as the children made sure that everyone had a go. Well done my very big children! I am going to miss you all when you go to big school.

This month at Little Leaders Stonegrove we are focusing on healthy eating with our focus on fruits and vegetables. This week is tropical fruits week!

Thank you to the parents and children who have been bringing in their favourite tropical fruits to share the children have been very excited walking into nursery with big watermelons and pineapples this week!

After washing the vegetables and everyone washing their hands too.

The children have enjoyed holding the vegetables talking about their different textures, colours and shapes. They then helped to chop the fruits with adult supervision and support.

The children have then also enjoyed tasting the different fruits to try new tastes and talk about the flavour if it is sweet, sour, juicy or however they might think it tastes.

Along side this our book of the week is Handa's Surprise where lots of cheeky animals keep taking the different fruits from Handa's basket. I wont tell you what happens at the end as I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise :)

Here are some photos of our Little Leaders during their fruity activity.

Hello Everyone!

Please see our Ofsted report where we were graded a "GOOD" on our Inspection in December 2019 for Little Leaders Nursery Stonegrove, Edgware.

https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50140918

A few of my favourite part that showcase my wonderful team are:

"Staff prepare children well for the next stages
of their learning and development, including starting school."

" Children's behaviour is good. Staff only have to give a gentle reminder to help them put toys away as the children respond well to instructions."

"Managers and staff plan and provide a stimulating educational programme that helps children to acquire new knowledge and skills. They ensure that the learning stems from children's interests and meets their individual needs. This motivates children to learn. For example, when children showed interest in farm animals, staff provided good opportunities for children to name animals and to learn about the sounds they make. "

"Staff communicate closely with parents to keep them informed about their children's learning and development. They involve parents in planning the next steps. Parents comment that their children look forward to coming to the
nursery and learn well"

This was our first inspection since opening at Little Leaders Stonegrove. We are working hard to fine tune and develop the nursery so next time round we will reach that golden grade of Outstanding.
