Early years learning at Buttons Preschools and Little Lambs Nursery

At Buttons, the care and preschool education offered helps children to continue to do this by providing interesting education activities that are appropriate for their age and stage of development. 

 

Time spent at Buttons is varied and well-structured with a wide range of activities each day from storytelling, crafts and fancy dress to energetic education activities. With purpose-built outside space for play, whatever the weather, there is always an element of free-flow and self-selection, with a mixture of education and enjoyment.
