Our Summary
About Us
Our motto at Little Owls is ‘ confident, curious and ready to learn.’ We not only stand by this motto but we deliver it everyday. We offer a warm, caring, fun, safe, educational, environment to your child.
Every child is unique with their own characteristics , learning style and pace. Recognising this in all our children means we can meet their individual needs and create an inclusive, caring environment where they can thrive.
At Little Owls we work in line with the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) All activities are planned in accordance with the EYFS. But also inline with the children’s interests. We often take the children’s lead with what they find interesting or they are engaged in. Every child is unique. They enjoy different learning styles, they develop at their own individual pace and all learn and respond to the world around them differently. Alongside the EYFS we support children within the characteristics of effective learning and areas of development. We ensure children can play and explore, learn actively and create and think critically. We encourage children to have a ‘can do’ attitude, develop and grow their own ideas and strategies, support them in bouncing back from adversity and to be proud of and enjoy their unique and individual achievements.
We are based in a beautiful cabin which has been purposely built for Little Owls. During the warmer days the cabin is open for free play into our garden. The garden holds a well equipped and imaginative mud and curiosity kitchen. We have climbing apparatus, car tracks, easels and tuff trays. We offer a range of arts and crafts; children can follow a guided activity or create their own masterpiece which they will be able to bring home to show you!
We are fortunate to be located close to so many wonderful opportunities for days out. We visit places such as Petworth Park, Winkworth Arboretum, Wisley, Knowle Park, Ramster Gardens, Witley Common, Thursley Boardwalk, Alice Holt, and Hogmoor weekly. In the summer months we visit the seaside and the Lavender fields.
We use an online system which as a parent you will have access to, where you can view updates on your child’s day. We also share photos with you each day and reports are shared termly tracking your child’s development and achievements.
So much happens during our day! Come and see us to learn more and see what makes Little Owls the warm, welcoming, family setting we are. Take a look at our website to see more about Little Owls and read what our parents say.

Ashley is just amazing! She is friendly, professional, caring, hard working, and cooks great meals for the little ones too. Ashley looks after my one year old and everything she does is just outstanding… can’t fault her! She even takes the time to plan little trips for the little ones. I’m giving up my job for a bit of time as I have two young ones and will be extremely sad to leave Ashley! Sonia

Our son Finn started at Little Owls in September 2021. Considering he can be quite wary of new situations we have been delighted with how well he has settled in. Finn is always welcomed with a smile by Ashley and her team. There is always a range of interesting activities and toys at the setting and Finn is always off on adventures to local parks, woods, national trust spaces and even the beach. We always enjoy seeing the photos of him and we can relax and focus on our work, knowing he is in great hands. The app and the blackboard outside the front door are really useful for seeing what he has had to eat and how much he is sleeping and nappy changes etc. We particularly appreciate the additional effort Ashley goes to to provide vegetarian meal options for Finn. Communication is excellent and we are are always told in good time of planned closures which is really helpful for arranging work. Thank you again to Ashley and all of the team.

After having to return to work earlier than I’d hoped, I was so nervous about leaving my daughter while she was still so young, but the moment I met Ashley I instantly felt confident that my daughter would be in the best hands. Since being a Little Owl she has developed so well from being around the other children and she clearly absolutely loves her time with Ashley and Tina. We love receiving the daily photos and updates of what she’s been doing and she clearly feels very at home in Ashley’s home. I never would have expected my 10mth old daughter to be bringing home arts & crafts every few weeks! During such a difficult time throughout the pandemic, I am so pleased that Annabelle has Little Owls to go to. We are so pleased that we found Little Owls, it is the best thing we could have done for our daughter.
