The Little Difference
Choosing the right nursery is about more than opening hours or availability – it’s about finding a place where your child feels safe, supported and excited to learn every day.
At Little Sunflowers, it’s the small, thoughtful details that shape children’s experiences and give families confidence in their choice. These are the little differences that make a big difference to life at our nursery in Great Barr.
A Thoughtfully Designed,
Balanced, Play-Based Curriculum
At Little Sunflowers, our curriculum is carefully designed to support children’s learning and development from babies through to preschool. While it follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), it is shaped around the children in our care — their interests, development and individual needs.
Learning is delivered through play, exploration and meaningful experiences, helping children build early communication, physical, social and problem-solving skills in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
Enrichment & Extra-Curricular Experiences
Learning Beyond the Everyday
Alongside our core curriculum, children at Little Sunflowers enjoy a range of enriching extra-curricular activities led by specialist teachers.
These experiences include:
Music and drama sessions, supporting creativity, confidence and communication
Physical development with a sports coach, helping children build coordination, strength and teamwork
Hands-on activities such as baking, creative play and outdoor learning, encouraging independence and curiosity
These experiences allow children to explore new interests, express themselves and enjoy learning in different ways.
Exploring the World Around Us
At Little Sunflowers, learning isn’t limited to the nursery walls. Children enjoy local outings and experiences that help them become familiar with their community and the world around them.
From outdoor exploration to trips that support learning in real-life contexts, these experiences build confidence, curiosity and independence.
Freshly Prepared Meals,
Included Every Day
Nourishing Children From the Inside Out
All meals at Little Sunflowers are freshly prepared on site by our professional chef. Our menus are designed to be nutritious, balanced and enjoyable, giving children the energy they need throughout the day.
Daily fees include meals, snacks, nappies and wipes, offering families clarity and peace of mind with no hidden extras. The only exception is milk formula.
Strong Communication With Parents
Staying Connected Through Famly
We know how important it is for parents to feel informed and involved in their child’s day. That’s why we use the Famly app to support clear, two-way communication between home and nursery.
Through Famly, parents receive photos, updates and daily care information, as well as learning highlights and regular observations. This helps families feel connected to their child’s experiences, even before pick-up time.
Clear, Inclusive Fees: Simple, Transparent Pricing
We aim to make nursery life as straightforward as possible for families. Our fees are designed to be inclusive and transparent, covering meals, snacks, nappies and wipes, so parents know exactly what to expect.
The Little Sunflowers Difference
It’s the combination of thoughtful learning, enriching experiences, strong communication and genuine care that sets Little Sunflowers apart. These little differences create a nurturing environment where children feel happy, confident and supported; and where parents feel reassured every step of the way.
