Welcome Aboard! Introducing the Little Shipmates Blog

Welcome aboard, and thank you for visiting the Little Shipmates Day Nurseries blog!

We’re delighted to launch this space as a way to connect with our families and those considering joining us across our nurseries in Hythe, Southampton and Basingstoke. At Little Shipmates, we believe that early childhood is a time for curiosity, discovery and building strong foundations - and we’re passionate about supporting every child on their unique learning journey.

This blog will be a place where we share:

• Updates from our nurseries and what the children have been enjoying

• Helpful advice and insights into early years development

• Fun and simple activity ideas you can try at home

• Seasonal tips, news and important information

We would love to hear of any topics you would like to know more about. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let your nursery manager or key person know and we will be happy to fit these in.

Whether your child is already part of our Little Shipmates family or you’re just beginning to explore childcare options, we hope you’ll find our blog informative, reassuring and enjoyable to read.

We’re so pleased to have you with us - welcome aboard!
