Little Thinkers Nursery at Penbridge Infant School

Little Thinkers is a registered charity and small family of nurseries providing childcare and early years provision to families in Strood, Portsmouth, Paignton, and Brixham. We pride ourselves on providing a safe, nurturing environment filled with learning opportunities.

As part of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust, we are proud to be a ‘thinking nursery’; a place where big ideas and curiosity are encouraged. Our approach delivers wonderous experiences that help children become confident, curious, and resilient individuals. Our core values, Imagination, Energy, Resilience, Questioning, Language, and Cooperation, shape everything we do.

We’re excited to be opening Little Thinkers at Penbridge Infant School in Portsmouth, offering early years provision for children aged 9 months – 2 years.

Located within Penbridge Infant School, another school in the Thinking Schools Academy Trust, this new nursery is perfectly positioned to support the Trust’s unique ‘all-through education’ pathway, giving families access to high-quality education from birth through to 18 years.

The Government offer for funded places has grown in the recent year and there are many opportunities for parents to apply for funded hours. There are opportunities to receive 9 moth to 2 year and 3 to 4 year funding. All the different schemes have different criteria and it is important that as parents you find the right choice for you.​

The options for childcare are explained inHomepage | Childcare Choices and all our nurseries offer places based on the funding requirements. ​

We welcome fee paying and funded children at our setting.

We have different session times for our children:

We do not charge different rates for different ages.
