Welcome
Hi! I’m Fran and I’m so excited to be joining the wonderful Little Apples team as Manager in September 2021.
We are a term-time only setting, open Monday – Friday 9:00am – 3:00pm, and cater for children who are 2-4 years of age.
The team here at Little Apples have many combined years of experience, and are dedicated practitioners who strive to ensure every child has the best possible start to their early educational journey.
We follow a truly child-led approach – our planning is done ‘In The Moment’; capturing children’s interests and extending their knowledge, fostering a love of learning.
We are passionate about inspiring awe and wonder in children, and allowing them time to be curious, to discover, to express their ideas, to get messy, to solve problems and to immerse themselves in exploring
the exciting opportunities we offer.
As well as the important business of play, we are committed to promoting our children’s emotional well- being, supporting them to develop skills of resilience, self-regulation and empathy and building confidence to overcome challenges.
We are lucky to have a secure and spacious playroom, complete with a cosy chill out area, and a
fabulous outside space where the possibilities are endless!
If you are interested in joining our Little Apples family, or have any questions, please contact me for an informal chat, or to book an appointment for a visit.
We look forward to meeting you!

Little Apples News...
*Our new and improved garden area and additional outdoor classroom is now being enjoyed by our children!
The Childcare Choices website has now changed to the
‘BEST START IN LIFE’ parent hub
Find information and practical support for parents on all things from Childcare support and funding, Early Years Milestones, and advice and support
for your child’s development from pregnancy to childcare right through to starting school!
You can access the site at www.beststartinlife.gov.uk
Our 2026/2027 register is almost full!
Avoid the disappointment of the families we were unable to register last year, as our 2025/2026 places were filled so quickly! If your child is not eligible for funding until January or April 2027, do not wait until nearer the time, get in touch now, as places are usually filled by then, and we may not be able to accommodate your request at that time
Call 07444 142 466 or email littleapples@lachildcare.co.uk
with any enquiries, to register with us, or to find out about our upcoming stay and play sessions,
where you and your child can look around our Pre-school
and meet our amazing Little Apples Team!
IMPORTANT!!!!….
Do you have a child turning 2 over the next year? Do you think you will be eligible for 2 year old Nursery Education Grant funding (offered if you are in receipt of certain benefits)
If so, and you might like a place at our Pre-school, do not wait for a ‘golden ticket’ please get in touch NOW. Places may not be available by the time you are awarded your code (usually when your child is approximately 18 months old), This is due to the implementation of the 2 year old Working Parents Entitlement, and the increased demand for places!
Call 07444 142 466, and speak to Fran for more information
