About the Employer

Welcome to our brand new nursery where exceptional childcare of the highest quality awaits you. We are an open plan nursery with a no shoes policy for a cleaner and more comfortable environment. At Little Genius Day Nursery, we pride ourselves on our unique approach to childcare. Our nursery is designed as an open plan layout with a dedicated baby area. This setup enables a tight-knit community and fosters friendship among children of all ages. It provides the older children with the opportunity to develop empathy and leadership skills and the younger ones to benefit from observing and learning from their peers across different age groups.

We ask parents to provide their child with a pair of indoor shoes to wear during their time at the nursery.
