Nursery Management: Case Study - Little Hippos nursery - Valuing one another

Little Hippos Nursery aims to provide children growing up in a multicultural environment with a strong foundation, teaching them to value themselves and respect others from an early age, says Karen Faux.

Little Hippos Nursery in Birmingham provides a vibrant, inclusive environment that supports multiculturalism in all aspects of nursery life. It has steadily expanded since launching in 2007 and is now acquiring the second floor of its existing building, which will boost provision for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers.

Nursery manager and proprietor Mr Ahmed says, 'When we opened our doors in 2007 we were registered for 47 children. Since that time we have made improvements and enhancements that have enabled us to increase our capacity to 72 daycare places. Our latest development will result in an additional 30 places.'

Refurbishment of the second floor for the use of the nursery is now virtually complete and Mr Ahmed is waiting for the final safety checks to be done before the expanded provision can be officially added to its Ofsted certification.
