How It All Began

A shared vision, three equal partners

Just Little Kidz was founded in 2017 by three equal partners who shared a single vision: to build nurseries where children are genuinely nurtured — not just supervised.

What began as one setting quickly became an asset to the wider community. Over the years our nurseries have grown from strength to strength, and many families who started with us in those early days remain among our greatest supporters — having formed lasting friendships through our doors.

Our settings bring parents and children together, creating opportunities for play, learning, collaboration and care, all under one roof.

Parent Partnership

We encourage every parent and carer to have as little or as much input into their child's early years education as they wish — creating a truly balanced, holistic approach.

Personalised Curriculum

We follow the EYFS framework but tailor it to every child's personal needs — because no two children are the same.

Outdoor & Indoor Play

We champion quality indoor and outdoor play, with direct access to green spaces and local parks for all our children.

The JLK Difference

The Developing Minds Nursery

We are a Developing Minds Nursery — designed to help every child grow academically, emotionally, and socially with real, visible progress.

Our Niche

Behaviour & Social Confidence

We specialise in building confident, well-behaved, socially strong children. JLK turns behaviour struggles into confidence, calm, and positive play — giving every child the social skills they need to thrive.

Our Promise

Ready for School & Life

Our promise is simple: we build confident, curious, resilient children who are fully ready for school and for life — not just academically, but emotionally and socially too.

What Makes Us Different

The JLK Development Dashboard

We give parents simple, clear, visual insights into their child's growth. No confusion. No vague reports. Just real progress they can see and feel — every step of the way.

JLK in one sentence

“The Developing Minds Nursery that turns behaviour struggles into confidence, calm, and positive play.”

The People Behind JLK

Devoted to every child, every day

Our team are devoted to meeting every child's rights and needs to the fullest. Each member of staff is highly trained to support your child's development within our nurturing, inclusive setting.

We maintain small, intimate settings with a maximum capacity of 25 children — ensuring every child receives the individual attention they deserve. We care for children from 3 months through to 5 years old.

For children aged 2 and over, government funding is available for both part-time and full-time spaces, helping more families access the quality care and education we provide.

Who We Are

Our Mission & Ethos

Everything we do at Just Little Kidz is guided by a clear purpose — developing the whole child, not just preparing them for school.

Mission Statement

Developing the whole child — academically, emotionally, and socially

Just Little Kidz is committed to providing a dynamic, responsive learning environment where every child is given the opportunity to grow into a confident, curious, and responsible young person.

Our staff work tirelessly to remove any barriers to access, participation, and achievement — because better outcomes for children start with removing the obstacles in their way. We develop the whole child within a supportive, secure, and imaginative environment.

Central to our approach is mental well-being. We actively teach children to recognise and maintain their emotional health through mindfulness, meditation, and purposeful mental stimulation activities — because a settled, confident mind is the foundation of all great learning.

Our Ethos

No child is left behind — ever

No child at Just Little Kidz is ever educationally, socially, or emotionally disadvantaged. We create a space where every child is free to explore their imagination, express who they truly are, and discover what they are capable of.

As a Developing Minds Nursery, we deliver a rich, holistic learning experience that blends quality indoor and outdoor environments — building the resilient, socially confident children our families trust us to develop.

“We are committed to developing confident, responsible young people who are ready for school, ready for life, and ready to be the best version of themselves.”
