Crosfields School was delighted to open its newly renamed nursery, Little Acorns, on 29 March 2025. This name beautifully reflects the journey of our pupils, who join us at the tender age of three and grow into strong, capable individuals, eventually becoming part of our Alumni programme, Crosfields Oaks, after leaving at Year 11.
The event was a resounding success, and we were thrilled to welcome many new families who were eager to tour our school site and explore the amazing facilities and opportunities available in our Pre-Prep, Junior and Senior sections. The event was also attended by several current families and pupils, as well as teaching staff with their little ones.
An entertainer ensured the morning was filled with joy and excitement, keeping the children engaged through fun games, music, balloon modelling, and stick-on tattoos. Our youngest visitors also created Mother’s Day flower arrangements, decorated biscuits and enjoyed all the activities and games on offer. It was a wonderful opportunity for new families to see how their child could flourish through all that Little Acorns has to offer.
Mrs Janey McDowell, Head of Pre-Prep commented: “I am immensely proud of our outstanding Nursery staff, whose dedication and passion create a nurturing environment for our young learners. Our excellent facilities and the wide array of opportunities we offer ensure that every child is happy, stimulated, and excited to learn. It is truly heartwarming to see our children thrive and develop a love for learning from such an early age.”
About Little Acorns: Little Acorns provides a safe and nurturing space where every child can learn, grow and develop through play and exploration, fostering a love of learning and preparing them for life in Reception and beyond. We help them build friendships, manage their emotions and develop language and communication skills. Children are nurtured by their class teachers and Nursery Nurses, and are taught by specialist teachers for French, games/PE, music, dance and Forest School. The children enjoy weekly lessons in our swimming pool with a variable depth floor. We aim to deliver the very best early educational experiences for your child, keeping up to date with recommendations for Early Years Development.
