La Petite Academy is a small friendly nursery which has been established since October 1995. Based in a large one-storey building, situated in a quiet residential suburb of Littleover, the nursery is registered to care for 58 children in total from 3 months to 8 years together with a breakfast and after school club for children up to the age of 12 years.

We are located conveniently situated away from the main road in a small crescent opposite the green and have plenty of safe parking spaces directly in front of the nursery.

We are renowned for our unique service and remain very successful due to word of mouth and personal recommendations from parents. We have never advertised in 11 years!

We pride ourselves on offering a warm inviting atmosphere where we can give you individual attention and are flexible with your needs and concerns.
