Our Story

Little Treasures is a natural development from the well-established Little Gems group of sessional pre-school nurseries. These have been successfully developed over 3 decades.

Little Gems proved so popular that places are now being booked well in advance. The idea  for a day nursery came in response to an ever-increasing demand from parents with children already at Little Gems or from some who knew its reputation and were disappointed to learn that it was not available on a full day basis!

In response Little Treasures was established in the year 2000. Over the past 24 years, the demand for our services has steadily grown, leading to the expansion of our premises to better accommodate the needs of our families. In 2024, the founders, Hilary and Peter Gilbert, retired after years of dedicated service. They entrusted the business to Marie Norman and Alison Nicholls, who had been instrumental in the management of the nursery and share the same passion for early years education. As the new stewards of Little Treasures, Marie and Alison are committed to upholding the values and standards that have defined the nursery for over two decades.
