Hygge Inspired
Pre-School

Inspired by Hygge, Little Acorns uses these principles alongside the Early Years Foundation Stage to support our children.

Welcome!

We aim to provide your child with the best possible start to their early years education, helping them to fulfil their potential in a healthy, safe and stimulating environment where children know they are valued and respected and they can develop into independent, confident individuals.

Our setting is where children are encouraged to be curious, explore, blossom, grow and learn in a safe and loving environment. We believe in child led learning through play and nature and encourage children to be the masters of their own curriculum and follow their lead and interests.

We are based on the Icknield Walk First School site in Royston , Hertfordshire. We have our own room with access to a lovely garden and nature space. Our building and garden has disable access.

Children can join us from their 2nd Birthday and stay until until they start at a school nursery.
