Part of the successful Thinking Schools Academy Trust
At Little Thinkers Meon Way, our experienced, qualified and caring staff help children discover their world through multi-sensory experiences, make new friends and become confident, independent learners. We are extremely proud to be part of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust; a partnership that enables us to craft a curriculum for your child that will give them the best start on an incredible educational journey. Our wonder curriculum helps children gain the skills and confidence they need to progress to Primary school.
Our Values
Our curiosity approach aims to create 'Thinkers and doers' by putting your child at the centre of their own development and education. We aim to plan your child's curriculum around their wonders. Our setting offer children a selection of natural, real objects as well as modern resources which encourage curiosity and eagerness to explore and create.
Our Promises
We promise that your child's key worker will build a unique bond with your child. They will develop their mind and character through energetic and warm interaction.
We promise to develop your child's learning habits. They will start to think about others and be able to cooperate and communicate in a group.
We promise that our curriculum will be full of wonders. Children will imagine, predict and persist in new understanding. Their langauge skills will grow.
We promise to share your child's journey with you. You will be able to help to 'light up learning'through sharing their wonders and new learning habits.
Safe and healthy environment
Our nursery is a welcoming environment for children where they can be comfortable, happy and feel safe. Our children have access to a fun outdoor play area which we use all year round. At our setting we really enjoy getting out and about and love visiting our local parks to explore and we have excellent links with our local sheltered housing which means we have lots of inter-generational learning.
Wide range of activities
As a parent, you can be certain that your child will access and enjoy a wide range of stimulating activities whilst learning the social skills that they need to progress into school as confident and independent children.
Quality Assured
We are registered with OFSTED to provide quality care and education for children up to five years old.

Social Media sharing and Parent engagement
We use a programme called Tapestry to communicate with our parents about learning. This is a two way system and parents and practitioners can share new learning in a safe secure online platform.
We love showing everyone what we are doing so please follow us on facebook to see how much we have learnt this week!
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 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.

Every morning, Sparky bounds into nursery full of energy, confidence and curiosity. Sparky is a big thinker with a head full of wonders. Sparky wonders whether a grasshopper takes hopping lessons, what clouds taste like or wonders if there could be a galaxy in our belly buttons?! Sparky’s keyworkers love listening to all the wonderous ideas.
Not only do they keep Sparky safe and happy but they use these wonders to guide their learning adventures. Together, Sparky and the keyworkers talk about wonders, imagine, predict and persist to seek out new understanding. By home time, Sparky is already wondering what he will discover in the morning…
