About Us
Little Buttons is an Ofsted registered nursery on the outskirts of Luton, set in a converted barn. It is based just over the border in Hertfordshire, surrounded by fields and countryside. The nursery opened in 2008 by the same manager who is running the nursery today.
There are currently 15 members of staff and are all paediatric first aid qualified. There is also a full time cook, who provides nutritious home cooked meals.
Little Buttons is open 7.30 - 18.30 all year around, only closing for bank holidays. The nursery offers flexible government funding between the hours of 7.30 - 17.30 including the introduction of the new 2 year old funding.
Our Curriculum
Our Curriculum
At Little Buttons we follow the continuous provision approach. The environment is set up for children to explore and investigate independently. We offer each child a selection of different areas including, mark making, maths, creative, quiet spaces and discovery places, where children can use their imagination. The children can move freely around the room and have the opportunity to explore the outdoor provision during the day. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum at Little Buttons.
Food Menus
Food Menus
At Little Buttons, we provide home cooked meals prepared by our on-site cook. Breakfast is provided each morning with a selection of healthy cereals and toast with options of jams and spreads. Children are given a mid-morning snack such as fruit, rice cakes, crackers, etc. which varies each day. At lunchtime, we have our main hot meal and a pudding. At 3.30 we serve a small meal for tea as our last meal of the day. Our menus are set on 4 weekly rotas, offering variety each day. We also change the menu’s seasonally, offering more hot foods in winter.

Our Nursery Rooms
The nursery comprises of three rooms:
The Owlets Room
This room is for babies from 3 months to 2 years.
The Owlets Room
Our Owlets room is a warm, friendly environment. This room can canter to 12 children and has 4 members of staff. This room has a separate sleep room with cots and beds for nap times. The staff work closely with parents to ensure that each child’s individual routine is followed and individual needs are met. There is an outside play area designed to be inviting for everyone including pre-walking children.
Snowy Owls Room
Tawny room is for children aged 2 - 3 years.
The Tawny Owls Room
Children of this age learn best through play. The staff encourage this by giving them free choice and allowing the children to explore their imagination. This room has child sized toilet facilities and potties as potty training generally begins at this age. Engaging activities are planned each day focussed on each individual child’s interests to extend learning. This room has shared access with the Owlet room to the outside play area attached.
The Barn Owls Room
The Barn Owl is our pre-school room for children who are aged 3 - 5 years old.
The Barn Owls Room
In this room the children are encouraged again to gain independence and confidence with themselves. The children in the Barn Owls have a french teacher visit them once a week who introduces the language to the children in a variety of ways.
It's in this room the learning really starts to begin. The staff work together to introduce the children to writing, phonics, numeracy and understanding the world in which we live.
We offer Flexible Government Funding Sessions for 2, 3 & 4 year old children.
