What we do

About Little Loquats:

We believe that providing a loving, safe and educationally enriching environment is essential to the early development of your children.  Having children of my own I know how precious your child is to you and how important it is to know they are being protected and affectionately cared for while you are away.

At Little Loquats your child will grow and discover their potential through fun learning experiences.   Little Loquats is located on a very quiet drive on Middle Road, Smiths, just minutes away from Somersfield School and Saltus Cavendish.  The playroom is warm and inviting. There is a fenced in garden area as well as a foam mat surfaced courtyard. It is all well shaded and we do try and spend as much time as possible outside.

Morning Playgroup 

Little Loquats is a morning-only program that runs on the private school calendar.

Depending on the age or your child, they can attend either  a 2 or 3 day week.

Opening hours are 8:30 am until 12:30 pm I will provide a healthy mid-morning snack, and e children are required to bring their own lunch.
