We are Opening The Doors to Our Amazing Nursery Join Us for Our Open Week In May

Our Nursery

Accessible and well located for Gloucester and Hucclecote 

The Little People Day Nursery occupies a large, detached, period property on the outskirts of Gloucester in the Hucclecote area – just a few hundred yards from Gloucester Business Park yet also a short drive from Gloucester Town Centre along Hucclecote Road. Its exceptional location makes it especially attractive to anyone working within the Business Park or in the Town Centre as they are in such close proximity to the nursery. We are easily accessible from the M5 motorway, A417, and have parents using us from Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Stroud.

Natural feeling in both indoor and outdoor environments

The Little People is an extremely natural feeling nursery – we have a huge outdoor area that is lined by a variety of trees, and we have expanses of lawn and shrubs in our garden, a vegetable patch, as well as a wealth of wooden outdoor resources. This natural state extends to our indoor environments too – one of the superb features of our period property is its huge sash windows which flood the nursery with natural light. The large rooms are furnished exclusively with wooden pieces and we use natural resources throughout.

Broad activity range based on The Curiosity Approach

We have large but cosy rooms and these are packed with charming period features. The building is well-appointed throughout and has the added feature of a dedicated IT and reading area for our pre-schoolers. We have a vast array of activities that we include in our childrens’ days, and we use the Early Years Foundation Stages (EYFS) as our curriculum.

We are ‘The Curiosity Approach’ accredited and we orient everything we do with the children around this – it is a philosophy that emphasises the learning value of “real-life” items and things available from the natural world, so we incorporate these into all our rooms and activities.  

OFSTED have rated our day nursery in Gloucester as “Good”.

The Little People Day Nursery caters for children aged from 3 months to 5 years.

What Our Parents Say

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child) 

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
