Little Owls Meanwood

Little Owls Meanwood is rated as “Good” by Ofsted.

We are committed to providing an environment in which children and adults feel comfortable, safe, valued and respected.  We have a variety of policies and procedures to ensure that your children can learn and play in a secure, yet relaxed environment.

Staff develop very strong partnerships with parents.  This starts during a home visit and continues from the moment children attend nursery.  Parents are kept fully informed about their children’s learning and are very complimentary about the quality of the support, care and learning experiences their children receive at nursery.
