LITTLE EXPLORERS, BIG FUTURES

About JC Little Explorers in Headley

Welcome to JC Little Explorers Headley, where curiosity leads the way. Located in a charming village nursery near woodland and green open spaces, our Headley nursery provides a peaceful, nature-inspired learning environment for children aged 2 years to 5 years old.


This location is loved by families seeking a small, nurturing setting with strong connections to the natural world, supportive staff, and a hands-on, play-based curriculum.

A Day at Headley

Our curriculum is based on the EYFS framework and guided by Development Matters, with a strong focus on independence, creativity, and emotional wellbeing.

Each day includes:

  • Time in our large garden, planting seeds, and exploring our natural outdoor spaces

  • Storytime, loose parts play, and child-led exploration

  • Group experiences that build social skills and confidence

  • Weekly physical development sessions with JC Sports

  • Support for communication and emotional expression
