Little Owls Armley Chapel Lane

Ofsted rated ‘good’

Little Owls Armley Chapel Lane nursery provides exciting experiences for children, from den making to Forest Schools activities, chick hatching and workshops.

We have good relationships with local primary schools, which help to provide a smooth transition into school for children and their families.

We are a breastfeeding friendly setting, and part of the Baby Friendly Initiative (BFI).  The nursery also has MindMate accreditation.

The setting also benefits from the co-location of the family support team.  The team offers groups and activities for families alongside individual work that might include support with housing, finances, employment, child development, adult learning and healthy lifestyles.

SEND Offer

Our special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO) ensures that wherever a child has an additional need families are fully supported. Staff provide children with individually tailored support and develop effective partnerships with a wide range of professionals.

All the staff are trained in Autism Tier 2.
