Little Pines Day Nursery in Bournemouth is proof of the fact that a nursery does not have to occupy spacious premises to achieve 'outstanding'.
Its cosy space is the ground floor of Pam Jones' family home of 20 years in a residential street in the Kings Park area of Bournemouth. She and her family moved upstairs in 2000 when she decided to launch the nursery.
Since then, Little Pines has gone from strength to strength, offering a warm and homely environment where children enjoy lively interaction with enthusiastic staff and are encouraged to extend their imaginative play outdoors.
Since the last inspection in 2007 all staff have been working towards achieving an 'outstanding' and would have been disappointed if they hadn't received it.
