Little Thinkers is a registered charity and small family of nurseries providing childcare and early years provision to families in Strood, Portsmouth, Paignton, and Furzeham. We pride ourselves on providing a safe, nurturing environment filled with learning opportunities.

As part of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust, we are proud to be a ‘thinking nursery’; a place where big ideas and curiosity are encouraged. Our approach delivers wonderous experiences that help children become confident, curious, and resilient individuals. Our core values, Imagination, Energy, Resilience, Questioning, Language, and Cooperation, shape everything we do.

We’re excited to be opening Little Thinkers at Penbridge Infant School, offering early years provision for children aged 0–3 years. This new nursery is perfectly positioned to support the Trust’s unique ‘all-through education’ pathway, giving families access to high-quality education from birth through to 18 years.
