Nursery World - Business development: Nursery moves into consultancy

One Reggio-inspired nursery has set up a consultancy on creative
learning outdoors. Hannah Crown reports.

Little Learners Childcare, based in Corby, has had two outstanding inspections since it was founded four years ago by mother and daughter team Ruth White and Sam Evans. The nursery's unique selling point is its outdoor facilities - which have been so popular with other settings that it has launched a consultancy off the back of them.

The space has an outside classroom or 'exploration room', a decked area with canopy and shading that children use all year. There is also an art barn, a purpose-built insulated log cabin where a resident artist operates five days a week and to which children can retreat in cold weather.
