About Little Foxes in Garston
We are an EYFS-based nursery in Garston. We care for children from 0 to 5 years old, and provide a range of age appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development right up until they are ready to join school. At Wigan Newton and Garston we also offer holiday club for children 4-12.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is based on learning and creativity. By blending indoor and outdoor classrooms and environments in a home-away-from-home environment, we are able to create a space where children feel empowered and ready to learn.
Our aim for the nursery is to provide a safe, happy and stimulating environment for the children. We try to nurture, care and challenge each child individually and give the best personal care we can.
Who We Are
We are a family run private nursery first set up in 1996 in the garden of 57 Fox House Lane by Jim and Margaret. Since then, their daughters Sophie and Anna have taken over the running of the nursery, and have expanded to seven settings.
We involve parents in the education of their children in order to support and extend each child's learning and foster a climate of co-operation, respect and to promote mutual understanding.
A good relationship between the home and nursery is seen as being central to the children's success and development.
The Little Foxes Team works in partnership with our parents and we encourage our open door policy whereby any parent may ask to see their child at any point during the day ensuring that we uphold good practice at all times.
We believe our innovative approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage both exploration and discovery as well as emotional intelligence and building friendships.
Our Safe & Secure Facilities
Our facilities provide state of the art security throughout, giving our parents complete peace of mind as to the safety of their precious children.
We have pin coded security entrances / exits ensuring your child is safe at all times. Each room has CCTV which is controlled and monitored by the Nursery Manager on an ongoing basis.

Feeding Your Little Ones
At Little Foxes Nursery, we completely understand the importance of healthy eating and nutrition for our children. We provide freshly prepared, carefully balanced, nutritious meals appropriate to each child's developmental stage.
We actively encourage our children to make healthy choices for their snacks which help them to develop their understanding of healthy eating whilst also growing their independence too.
We cater for all dietary requirements, special needs or religious beliefs – lactose intolerant, diabetes, celiac, gluten free, vegetarian or any other requirements. Rest assured that your child will only be given the appropriate and correct foods at all times.
About Our Garston Location
When you visit us here at Little Foxes, you’ll see firsthand what makes us different!
Housed in an end terrace that has been adapted to suit the children’s needs, our Garston location has a large garden area, and at one side of the garden there is also a pram storage unit for parents/carers to store prams and car seats to prevent any weather damage.
In the soft play area, there is a boat to one side of the garden, as well as a large sand pit which is available all through the year as there is a roof over the top. We also have a large reading chill zone for the children to relax and enjoy stories and literacy time.
There is also an all-weather grass area for the children to use all year round, with small benches located around the garden for the children to sit with their friends and we also have a picnic bench giving the children the opportunity to have lunch and snack in the outdoor area.
Within the house, on the lower level, the baby room has patio doors leading onto a decking area. The decking area has a fence enclosure, which enables the under 2’s to also have free flow play from indoors to the outdoors without being harmed by the older children. The babies decking has had a canopy installed to ensure that the babies have shade in the summer and shelter in the winter ensuring they are able to free flow throughout the year.
On the first level, there are two rooms accommodating all the different areas of learning across the two rooms.
Merging Teaching and Childcare
We believe that it’s never too early to start learning and that it’s vital to always present opportunities for children to learn and grow as soon as they start at our setting.
Each child is treated as an individual and with respect and these are values which we teach to all the children in our care. They learn to understand how we are all different and how we must always treat each other in a kind and caring manner.
We work and partner with outside professionals and agencies; local play schools; local play groups; companies and all government initiatives to ensure that your child is receiving the highest level of education and support available.
By developing our programs with curriculum experts and childcare specialists, we’ve been able to hone in on what makes early education a success and created a learning program that allows our children to feel confident in themselves and their abilities as they reach school.
