About Us

My child has gained so much confidence, the care and communication with the nursery is excellent.

Our specially designed nursery is open all year and provides the children from 2 years upwards,  with an environment which is secure, bright, happy and stimulating.  The nursery is led by a Norland trained, qualified teacher who is supported by qualified practitioners.  Being in beautiful Beckington, just minutes from Frome, means we have access to a world beyond the nursery and school gardens – our wildlife area, our stunning field with walks around the village to see the smallholding and castle grounds are all within easy reach and are part of our routines.  

Little Crickets Frome is part of Springmead Preparatory School, an independent school for children aged 4 to 11 years.  In their latest inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), we are proud that Springmead achieved the highest possible rating of a double 'Excellent'.   To read the report for the Nursery and School, please click here.

Little Crickets Frome and Springmead Preparatory School are owned by Forfar Education Ltd, a group which owns and manages a network of outstanding education establishments across the UK and with a leadership team that brings more than 80 years of experience in the education sector.

We are exceptionally proud of our nursery and the opportunities it provides children. Visiting us is the best way in which to get a feel for all we offer; we guarantee you will be inspired by our fabulous staff and extensive facilities.
