Childcare Apprenticeship – Garston

We are a family-run private nursery, first set up in 1996 in the garden of 57 Fox House Lane. Our aim for the nursery is to provide a safe, happy and stimulating environment for all our children. We try to nurture, care and challenge each child individually and give the best personal care we can. Little Foxes' ethos is “to give unlimited and natural play experiences”. The children spend 80% of their day out in the garden area as we feel that children learn a lot more, play more freely, and experience a healthier lifestyle when they have the opportunity to be outdoors.

You’ll gain hands on experience in child development, safeguarding, planning activities and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive.
