Little Sprouts Childcare
Fantastic outdoor Education in Hove, East Sussex.
Little Sprouts Childcare
Exciting outdoor education for children aged 9 months to 5 years. Children free flow from the stimulating purpose built garden cabin into the beautiful garden, which has never-ending opportunities for play.
Children engage in educational activities, planned by the children, for the children. They are encouraged to care of their environment and enjoy growing and harvesting their own fruit and veg.
Small groups with a maximum of 6 children means they experience a nurturing, caring and loving environment. Little Sprouts has a real home from home feel and children settle quickly into the LS family.

“Couldn’t recommend her enough”
Myself and another mum were chatting during drop off and agreed if we had to dream up our perfect childminder it would be Sophie! Little sprouts is such an inspiring and nurturing place and Sophie is the heart of that. I couldn’t recommend her enough. My son is so happy, confident and really genuinely at home here.

We felt so lucky to find Sophie and Little Sprouts. The Little Sprouts cabin is fantastic, bright and engaging. Sophie never fails to create new imaginative set ups daily for them to explore and learn in a nurtured and creative environment. Sophie provides truly unique and lovely childcare.

Sophie has created such a nurturing, caring and loving environment and offers and incredible amount of activities to inspire and educate the children in so many different ways. My two always have the best time at Little Sprouts and this is solely down to Sophie, who is so passionate about what she does.
