About Us

Little Lingfields is a modern 43 place day nursery, which is situated on Lingfield Point Business Park in Darlington. We are ideally situated, offering good access to major commuter routes such as the A1M and the A66. Our location also offers a high level of security; being situated on Lingfield Point means that we have the added benefit of an on-site security team, as well as CCTV inside the nursery and also monitoring our outdoor area.

We have designated parking spaces at the front and the rear of the nursery, making life easier for parents/carers using the nursery.

We pride ourselves on being able to offer such a warm and friendly environment for parents/carers to bring their children into. At Little Lingfields, the atmosphere is somewhat relaxed, we feel that children can learn through play more effectively when they are calm and comfortable in their surroundings.

Little Lingfields has been designed and developed to provide an attractive and stimulating environment for children, enabling them to grow and progress through their first years of life, therefore creating a 'bright start to a brighter future'. All children within our care follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework (EYFS), which came into practice in 2008. The EYFS has a strong focus on the 'individual' child and is working very well for our setting. More details of the EYFS framework can be found on our 'Curriculum Page'.

All staff members hold relevant childcare qualifications, and are trained in paediatric first aid and are CRB checked. The majority of staff also hold food hygiene certificates, and have participated in a variety of additional early years training courses.

We are inspected and approved by Ofsted and staff have regular contact with professionals from our Local Education Authority, in order to update and constantly improve our practice.
