About Us – Little PAWS Nursery
At Little PAWS Nursery, we believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life. Our approach is guided by a clear ethos:
Our Ethos
Our learning environment is characterised by a balanced blend of adult-led and child-led experiences, fundamentally guided by the principle that children learn best through play. We recognise that young learners thrive in an atmosphere that encourages exploration, curiosity, and creativity, so our curriculum is designed to fully embrace this ethos. Through play-based learning, children develop confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
A Seamless Transition to School
Little PAWS works closely alongside the Reception classes, ensuring that children progress at a pace that suits their individual development. This partnership gives children the confidence and skills they need to be school-ready, while maintaining a nurturing environment that respects their unique journey.
Our Environment
Set within the beautiful, historic Pevensey and Westham School building, our nursery is self-contained with its own outdoor space, yet benefits from access to the school’s exceptional facilities, including:
- Forest School for nature-based learning
- Outdoor trim trail for physical development
- Large playground and playing field
- School library to foster a love of reading
- School hall for music, dance, and PE activities
Inside, our nursery offers a modern, attractive, and welcoming space designed to support the needs of every child.
Our Whole School Vision
At PaWS, we have an ambitious vision to work in partnership with families, the church, and the wider community to prepare all our children with the knowledge, skills, values, and behaviours they will need in order to flourish, reach their potential, and enjoy fullness of life.
(John 10:10)
Little PAWS Nursery is fully embedded within school life, and this vision can be seen throughout everything we do—from our curriculum to our daily routines. Our nursery team works hand-in-hand with the wider school community to ensure consistency, care, and excellence.
Opening Hours
We understand the needs of working families. That’s why Little PAWS is open all year round, Monday to Friday, from 07:30 to 18:00, providing flexible, high-quality childcare you can rely on.
