Mini Adventures pre-school provides high quality childcare in a safe and happy environment. We encourage the children, through play activities, to learn and develop at their own pace. We offer a wide range of challenging and stimulating experiences through which they can achieve this.
Our aim is to provide individual, high quality childcare in a fun, caring and comfortable environment.
We firmly believe that every child is unique and is constantly learning. Children are encouraged to be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured. We aim to make each child’s early education experiences positive and meaningful. We know that children learn best in a welcoming, warm, secure and caring environment, where they are able to experiment and have fun, take risks, learn from their experiences and grow in confidence. The uniqueness and individuality of each child is always emphasised, encouraged and valued.
We aim to make their first steps into education an enjoyable and comfortable experience. We believe that parental involvement is vital to this process, as well as employing the correct staff to nurture, respect and provide a safe and challenging environment in which the children are able to reach their goals.
We are happy for you to stay with your child as long as you wish and happy for your child to bring a special toy or comforter for reassurance when they first join us.
High Staff to Children Ratio
Mini Adventures does not operate at its full capacity as we feel that we can offer a safer, calmer and happier environment this way. We limit the number of children at each session and ensure that everyone can have a bit of space when they need it and lots of quiet areas to retreat to and snuggle down with a story or favourite toy if they wish to do so. The varied range of activities on offer each day will have their own areas and the children will have the space to move between these areas as they wish to.
Our Facebook page is kept up to date with all the latest news and answers to questions.
Our senior team members have degrees in Early Years child care (Level 6), the rest of our team hold a variety of childcare qualifications and have a wealth of experience in lots of different areas of child development.
Some of our qualifications include Safeguarding, Advanced Safeguarding, SENCO, Safeguarding for Disabilities, Full Pediatric First Aid, Food Hygiene, Promoting Positive Behavior and spotting Child Neglect.
All staff are experienced in many areas of childcare, they have worked with a wide range of ages, abilities and needs. A family feel and welcoming environment are of utmost importance to us all and we will provide each child with a key worker who will work closely with you as a family to enable your child to develop to the best of their abilities and to settle quickly when they are with us.

Our staff are also trained in Funky Feet fundamental movement training and children’s Yoga, both are fabulous for engaging children and increasing their physical abilities. We are ideally situated, and have a wealth of places to visit close to our location, including, parks and green spaces.
During the day we offer a variety of healthy snacks and a home cooked two course lunch. We encourage children to try lots of different foods and to get involved with the preparation where suitable. This encourages children to be adventurous with their choices and to gain valuable skills ready for the start of school. We also have a ‘snack of the week’ where we will discuss the more unusual foods that we have on offer and allow the children to use all of their senses to touch, smell and taste new foods. We charge just £3.50 per day for meals and snacks.
We are Ofsted registered so we accept the governments funded childcare placements. Please check your entitlements on the government website.
