Learning, friendship and confidence in Grays
Little Leaps Grays offers a caring term-time setting where children can settle, make friends and learn through experiences shaped around their interests and individual needs.
Practitioners combine warm relationships with purposeful play, helping children develop communication, movement, imagination, early literacy and number skills as part of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
The setting also currently provides an out-of-school club for Quarry Hill Academy pupils, helping eligible families bring nursery and school-age care together within one familiar Little Leaps community.
