Surrounded by nature

Set in a peaceful, rural spot beside Pontlands Park, children enjoy daily outdoor experiences that spark curiosity and support learning. With natural surroundings and open views, they may spot horses grazing nearby or explore the textures and colours of the changing seasons. Being immersed in the countryside every day inspires discovery, creativity, and a love of the outdoors.

Wellbeing for the whole family

With a large on-site car park for smooth drop-off and collection, our nursery fits easily into busy family routines. Set beside Pontlands Park, parents can enjoy a stress-free start or end to the day, whether that’s a peaceful walk, a coffee at the café, or time to unwind at the spa, with its pool, sauna and fitness room.

Hi, I’m Jade, and a very warm welcome to Little Faces Nursery School in Great Baddow, Chelmsford

We’re so proud of our passionate, caring team who feel truly privileged to be part of every child’s early years. At Little Faces, we create a nurturing environment where children can explore, grow, and thrive. What makes us really special is our strong sense of community – we’re more than just a nursery, we’re a family.

I’d love to welcome you in, show you around, and share why Little Faces could be the perfect place for the next chapter of your child’s story.

Our community

We believe in the power of kindness, connection and giving back. Throughout the year, we support good causes through fundraising, from raising money for Make-A-Wish at our Winter Wonderland Christmas event to bake sales, dress-up days, sponsored challenges and more. These activities bring children, families and our team together, making a real difference in the lives of others.

We also love getting out and about in our local community, whether that’s visiting parks, joining local events, or exploring nearby attractions. These experiences help children build connections and learn about the world around them.

[HEADER]Funding We are pleased to provide the Government's 15 Hours and 30 Hours funding offer for all eligible children aged 9 months and above. Our Funding Guide provides an overview of how to check eligibility and how we offer funding. Our stretched funding offers up to 11.18 hours / 22.35 hours a week for 15 Hours / 30 Hours funding respectively across all 51 weeks we’re open. Parents can apply up to 10 hours of funding per day, during our regular session times. Government funding is not intended to cover the cost of meals, other consumables, or extracurricular activities.

If you’re considering options other than our integrated offering, please speak with the nursery manager. Costs below are based on a full day with 10 hours of funding. For a half day or a part funded session, our invoicing system pro-rates the charges. Homecooked food: £7.50 (under 3s), £8.00 (over 3s); Health & Hygiene consumables: £2.50 (under 3s), £2.00 (over 3s); Extracurricular activities: £3.50 (over 2s only). No charge for under 2s; Additional hours: Priced at the session hourly rate for partially funded sessions. Please refer to our nursery fee calculator for an estimate of your monthly cost, inclusive of charges. Note: If your child accesses funding with us for the first time during the Summer term, please ask the Nursery Manager about our summer stretched offering, which operates a bit differently for the first term only.
