Little Lambs at Lambley

Our Story & Heritage

Little Lambs at Lambley is proud to call the historic Old School Room our home. Dating back to circa 1874, our charming building has stood on Church Street for nearly two centuries, originally serving as the village school before being thoughtfully converted into a nursery setting in 1994. When we opened our doors as Little Lambs in August 2024, we became the newest chapter in this building’s long history of nurturing young minds. This beautiful red-brick structure, with its distinctive period features and character, provides a warm, homely environment perfect for optimum early years development – combining historical charm with modern childcare and education facilities.

Our Village Setting
Nestled in the picturesque village of Lambley, our nursery enjoys a truly idyllic location just seven miles from Nottingham’s bustling city centre. The name ‘Lambley’ derives from Old English, meaning ‘lamb’s meadow’ – a fitting heritage for our Little Lambs! This charming village, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ‘Lambeleia’, is steeped in history and surrounded by beautiful countryside, including the famous Lambley Dumbles – secluded areas noted for their unique geology and ancient woodland rich in flowers and ferns. Our location allows us to incorporate nature walks into our curriculum, engaging children with the natural world right on our doorstep.

The Wolds Childcare Family
Little Lambs is a valued member of the Wolds Childcare group, an organisation with extensive experience in delivering outstanding childcare across several settings throughout Nottinghamshire. This connection brings significant benefits – our nursery combines the personal touch of a small, family-focused setting with the resources, expertise and quality assurance of a well-established childcare provider. We share best practices, training opportunities and a commitment to excellence with our sister settings.

Our Philosophy & Approach
At Little Lambs, we believe every child deserves individualised care that nurtures their unique potential. Our experienced team brings together over 75 years of collective childcare expertise, creating a genuinely special environment where children feel secure, valued and empowered to explore. We take pride in our inclusive approach, welcoming children of all abilities and needs, with dedicated support for those with Special Educational Needs. Our family-centred ethos extends to building strong partnerships with parents through regular, meaningful communication and involvement in their child’s learning journey.

Our Commitment to Quality

We are passionate about providing exceptional care within a stimulating environment. From our freshly prepared, nutritious meals to our carefully designed learning spaces, every aspect of Little Lambs has been thoughtfully developed with children’s wellbeing and development at heart. Our team regularly participates in professional development to ensure we remain at the forefront of early years practice. Though newly established, we uphold the high standards demonstrated across other Wolds Childcare settings, with a focus on creating an environment where children can truly flourish.
