About the employer

Little Sprouts was established just over 10 years ago by Becky Garratt and her mum, Julie Kirby, working as childminders from Becky’s home, situated in Sheringham. As Little Sprouts was established by Becky and her mum it gave the children a real feeling of being part of a “Big Family Unit” Over the years Little sprouts has flourished into a small day nursery, now running from Aylmerton village hall, from two rooms that the Village Hall offers, at the hall we still pride ourselves in promoting the environment to feel as before “A Big Family Unit!” If the children feel relaxed and comfortable in their environment, they will blossom. Little Sprouts is open Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 5:30pm. We have named the two rooms at the hall: Button Sprouts: offering 14 spaces a day for children from birth upwards. Brussel Sprouts: offering 16 spaces a day for children up to 4 years.
