Welcome to Little Rainbows, Mickley’s 2-3 Year Old Nursery Provision!

Learning now begins at age 2 in our vibrant early years environment. This new provision has been thoughtfully designed by our dedicated staff to ensure every child feels happy, secure, and ready to explore and learn.

Mickley’s Little Rainbows provides a warm, welcoming space tailored to support the early stages of child development. What children experience and learn in this nurturing environment helps to lay strong, lasting foundations for their future education. We believe in providing the highest quality of care and learning experiences to ensure every child thrives from the very start.

Here at Mickley First School, children and adults can explore, have fun, play, talk, and learn together, growing into happy, confident, and independent individuals.

Our commitment to creating an engaging learning environment extends beyond the classroom. Over the summer, we transformed an existing classroom and updated our outdoor spaces with a new climbing frame, sandpit, and space for forest school activities – all thanks to funding from Councillor Anne Dale, the PTFA, Essity, and generous donations.

With flexible options available for up to 10 children aged 2, we offer both morning and afternoon sessions, making it easy for families to choose the best schedule for their needs. You can choose between a morning session (08:45am – 11:45am or 08:45am – 1:15pm if staying for lunch) or a full day session (08:45am – 3pm). We also welcome families to pay for individual, one off sessions, so you can find what works best for you.

More than just a classroom

At Little Rainbows, we provide a fabulous double-sized classroom in a Victorian building that has been lovingly updated with age-appropriate resources specifically designed for 2-year-olds. Our fully committed staff team spent the summer ensuring the space is welcoming and stimulating for your little one.

In addition to our fantastic classroom space, we also have a quiet room with a range of resources for all ages. This provides a calming and relaxing space for children who need a break from the hustle and bustle of the main classroom.

Learning through exploration

Throughout the rest of the week, your child will be busy exploring, cooking, and making. Our curriculum is designed to spark their curiosity and help them learn about the world around them.

Baby and Toddler sessions for parents and families 

As part of our connection with the wider community, we also offer a weekly Baby and Toddler session on Monday mornings (all welcome). Open to all parents and toddlers under 4, this relaxed session allows families to drop in without booking, offering a fun opportunity to play and learn together.
