Activities & Experiences

Little Moments, Big Discoveries

Our days are filled with music, movement, creativity and exploration.

At Little Sunflowers, every day is filled with hands-on experiences that help children learn through joy and exploration. From baking in our kitchen and painting their own masterpieces to imaginative crafts, outdoor adventures and local trips, we offer a rich variety of activities that spark curiosity and confidence. These daily moments of creativity and discovery are supported by our specialist teachers, who bring music, drama and physical development to life.

Music and Drama

Our specialist Music and Drama Teacher brings stories, rhythm and imagination to life through joyful, interactive sessions. Children learn to express themselves, build confidence and explore emotions through singing, movement and pretend play. These sessions become weekly moments of magic that nurture creativity and communication.

Sports Coaching

Our dedicated Sports Coach leads energetic, age-appropriate sessions that help children build strength, balance and coordination. Every activity is playful and confidence-boosting, encouraging little ones to enjoy moving their bodies and developing healthy habits from the very beginning.

Working Together with Parents

We believe nursery and home work best hand in hand. Our Parent Support offers simple tools, clear communication and helpful resources to make every family feel confident and connected.

The Famly App

As a nursery, we love using Famly because it lets parents see photos, updates and daily logs in real time – giving you a clear window into your child’s day and helping you feel connected and involved, even before pick-up.

Home learning Resources

Simple activities and ideas to help you support your child’s learning at home.

Parent Resources

Guides, tips and useful information to support you through every stage of early childhood.

Why We Value Our Partnership With Parents

We know children thrive when nursery and home work together. You know your child better than anyone, and we build on that knowledge to give them the care, consistency and confidence they need every day.

Open conversations, shared goals and honest communication help us create a nurturing environment where children feel secure, understood and ready to learn.
