Testimonials
I’ve had the pleasure of delivering Bloom Preston baby classes at Small Wonders nursery for the past few months, and I’ve seen first-hand the incredible love and care given to every single baby. The team are attentive, nurturing, and full of fun, always ensuring each child feels calm, happy, and safe. Over the weeks, I’ve watched them speak to every baby with genuine love and respect, and it’s truly heartwarming. I only wish they were closer to home so my own daughter could attend! If your little one is lucky enough to be here, know that they are cherished and cared for by truly wonderful people

Our Ethos
At Small Wonders, we are a family and believe every child in our care is an extension of our family. Many children who attended as Hatchlings return as mature ducks for holiday and after-school clubs, and many parents were once hatchlings themselves. With senior managers serving for over 18 years and a team with long-standing staff, we provide a consistently homely and supportive environment.
We promote an inclusive, play-based setting where children learn through continuous provision tailored to their individual preferences. “Equality and Inclusion are core values at Small Wonders. We provide resources that reflect the real world, helping children understand and respect different backgrounds while embracing diversity.”
We are committed to high-quality care, with regular staff training and personalised learning journeys for each child. We believe there is no better place for your ducklings to learn, grow, and thrive than Small Wonders.
Our Vision
To nurture your precious offspring through their early years, from young hatchlings through to migrating ducks ready for school, Small Wonders provides a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child looks forward to attending nursery, giving parents peace of mind that their child is happy, safe, and supported.
Both settings offer exciting, creative learning opportunities at each session, helping every child reach their full potential. Our qualified practitioners recognise that each child is unique and adapt the environment to keep them engaged in activities that inspire learning and creativity. We provide a wide range of open-ended resources, allowing children to explore and develop in their own individual way.
We promote a ‘No Child is Left Behind’ policy, ensuring all children leave confident, brave, and ready for the next stage of their learning journey. We actively promote British Values, encouraging respect, fairness, and a strong sense of identity, while also incorporating age-appropriate diversity and inclusion activities to support a well-rounded learning experience.
