Our Story
Little Lambs Pre-school has been operating since October 1999, when the current Owner took over the original playgroup that had been open at the Belvedere Baptist Church since 1978.
We moved to our current setting at the Christian Gray Hall in 2009. This allowed us more space for the children and a proper outdoor play area.
We are currently registered to provide sessional day care for 40 children per session and operate a first come first served waiting list.
Starting at Little Lambs
We recognise that starting anything new can be a daunting that is why our aim is to provide sensitive care to support each child as they settle into the nursery.
All parents are encouraged to attend one of our open sessions with their child in the term before they begin at Little Lambs. A child who is tense and unhappy will not be able to play or learn properly, so it is important for parents and staff to work together to help the child feel confident and secure in the group. This takes longer for some children than others. To begin with, it may be a good idea to visit with your child so that you both get to know the people there and how the group operates. If your child sees that you are friendly with the staff they will soon become friends too.
If a child is unsettled, we recommend separating for brief periods at first, gradually building up to longer absences.
When you attend an open session prior to joining Little Lambs you will be asked to complete his/her registration forms and to provide important information such as:
