At Happy Little Hearts Preschool, our Little Learners Room is all about adventure and discovery with our exciting Forest School sessions! Led by our Level 3 Forest School-trained staff, we give children the chance to take risks, explore nature, and use tools—all in a safe and supportive environment. From building fires to tackling new challenges, our little learners are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, boosting their confidence and creativity while connecting with the natural world.

Big Cook Little Cook
At Happy Little Hearts Preschool, our Big Cook, Little Cook sessions are the perfect blend of fun, food, and family! Over 5 weeks, parents and children team up to create tasty, healthy meals, while learning all about what’s in their food. It’s not just about cooking—parents get to swap tips, share what’s working for them, and have a laugh along the way.

It’s a great way for families to bond, learn together, and cook up some nutritious fun!

Healthy Eating and Tasted
At Happy Little Hearts Preschool, we are passionate about promoting healthy eating in a fun and supportive way! We provide a range of healthy snacks to fuel our little learners throughout the day. Through sessions like TastED, children are encouraged to explore new foods, with the understanding that no one has to like or try everything. This approach helps children feel comfortable with food, builds confidence around healthy choices, and fosters a positive attitude towards eating without any pressure. It’s all about making healthy eating fun and stress-free!

These adventures help children learn about different environments, develop social skills, and create unforgettable memories—all while having lots of fun along the way!
People who help us
At Happy Little Hearts Preschool, each term we focus on learning about the amazing people who help us in our community. We have gardeners, police officers, firefighters, doctors, dentists, nurses, and pharmacists come in to talk to the children about their important jobs. These professionals speak directly to the children at their level, making learning fun and interactive. Our little learners have had the chance to sit in real police cars, explore a fire engine, and get hands-on with other exciting equipment—giving them a deeper understanding of these everyday heroes!
