About Little Lion Cubs Nursery

Little Lion Cubs Nursery is a new, modern early-years setting dedicated to providing high-quality care and education for children from infancy to preschool age. Although newly opened, our vision is built on strong foundations: love, compassion, integrity, and community — values rooted in Biblical principles that guide everything we do.

We believe every child is uniquely created with their own gifts, personality, and potential. Our role is to nurture these qualities through a warm, safe, and stimulating environment where children feel valued, confident, and deeply cared for.

Our nursery is designed around themed learning rooms, creating imaginative and engaging spaces tailored to every age group. Children in our care are supported by qualified, passionate practitioners who model kindness, respect, and positive relationships.

At Little Lion Cubs, we work closely with families to build a strong home–nursery partnership. We are committed to open communication, consistency, and a genuine sense of belonging for every child and parent who joins our community.

Rooted in faith-based values and guided by best practice in early education, we aim to raise children who are joyful, curious, resilient, and ready for their next steps.
