Welcome to
Nursery and Preschool
Since we opened in 2003, Sheffield based childcare provider Little Ark has been at the heart of the city – providing high quality early years education and childcare for children aged 12 weeks to 5 years.
Our unique open-plan lay-out means that our setting has a wonderful family-feel – with each age group able to see and interact with each other as they learn and discover the world around them.
In our Ofsted Registered Good-rated childcare setting, we have a dedicated baby unit complete with a cosy sleeping area, and rooms for our 1 year olds, 2 year olds and pre-school, plus our very own roof garden with views across Sheffield.
The Famly app ensures that parents are in touch in real time with their child whilst they are with us. Our team are so passionate about supporting and caring for each child and helping them grow into the amazing little champion they were born to be.
