About Us
Little Woodlands Day Nursery provides high quality childcare for babies and children up to the age of five.Little Woodlands Day Nursery aims to provide outstanding, quality childcare with an emphasis on outdoor learning and learning through play, set in a beautiful environment.
Formerly known as Minsterworth School our nursery setting is located on the Minsterworth Main Road just on the outskirts of Gloucester. As well as excellent access to the M5 and Gloucester City, the nursery is ideally located for working families that commute from The Forest Of Dean.
We know that children learn best when they’re having lots of fun. We’ve created environments in all our rooms where they can do just that. Our team believe in giving children exciting, fun experiences every day, with activities based around their likes and interests – encouraging their natural curiosity and as a result turning them into happy, confident little learners.
We are very lucky to have use of an acre of land where we plan to run Forest School. This will give our children the opportunity to learn, play and develop their physical skills come rain or shine. We will provide the children with all-in-one waterproof suits, wellies, sun cream and sun hats.
We work hard to build strong relationships with our parents to help give our children the best possible start. One of the ways we do this is by giving you access to your child’s very own online learning journal. This easy-to-use resource gives you valuable insights into your child’s learning and development journey through nursery. Equally as important, we’re always available for daily chats about your little one’s progress.
Our Management Team
The owners of Little Woodlands Day Nursery are Rachael & Tony Lancaster who live locally in Gloucestershire and are proud parents of four young boys. Rachael and her family have been involved in early years care for nearly 30 years.
As well as Little Woodlands Day Nursery they also run Little Lambs Day Nursery in Longlevens and Nursery Rhymes Day Nursery in Leckhampton, Cheltenham.
Due to the success of Little Lambs Day Nursery and Nursery Rhymes Day Nursery and with such positive feedback from parents, they decided to branch out to provide the same high levels of care and attention at this fabulous location, combined with the personal touch that comes from being a small family owned business.
