Small people. Big mornings.
Little Meadow is a 32-place preschool with a garden at its heart — keyworkers who know your child properly, mornings outdoors in all weathers, and a photo diary that shows you the day you missed.
Childhood isn't a curriculum. It's a climate.
Two-to-fives don’t learn from laminated timetables — they learn from adults who are genuinely interested in them, rooms worth exploring, and time to finish the game. Our job is building that climate and guarding it fiercely.
The learning outcomes follow. They always do — we just don’t make three-year-olds queue for them.
Three things every day includes.
Whatever the weather, whoever the child.
Garden mornings
Free-flow between rooms and garden, wellies by the door, mud kitchen open in all weathers. Waterproofs provided; laundry sympathy free.
Keyworker time
Every child has one adult who knows them best — their words, their worries, their current obsession. That’s who you talk to at pick-up.
Proper lunches
Cooked on site by Marisa, eaten together at small tables — menus shared weekly, fussiness handled with patience, not pressure.
Small, on purpose.
