About Us
My child has gained so much confidence, the care and communication with the nursery is excellent.
Our specially designed nursery is open for 51 weeks per 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'.
