About Little Trees in Bridge of Don

We are a learning through play-based nursery, providing care for the children of North Aberdeen. We care for children from 6 months to 5 years and provide a range of age appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development right up until they are ready to join school.

Who We Are

Little Trees Children's Nursery got its start in Aberdeen in 2023 by Gemma Henderson.

We decided to do things a bit differently at Little Trees by creating a space which fosters early learning in a fun and safe environment where children from 6 months to 5 years old can explore the world around them.

We believe our innovative approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage both exploration and discovery as well as emotional intelligence and building friendships.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is based on learning and creativity. By blending indoor and outdoor classrooms and environments in a home-away-from-home environment, we are able to create a space where children feel empowered and ready to learn.

Our Mission

The driving force behind Little Trees is to transform the lives of the children and families we work with. We do this by creating a nursery that feels like home with an extended, stimulating, and supportive family environment. At Little Trees Children’s Nursery, we strive to provide a high-quality nursery experience where love, care, nurture, wellbeing, relationships, trust, respect, and the children are at the heart of everything we do.

Merging Teaching and Childcare

We offer a variety of programs, ranging from care for infants and toddlers, to preschool.

We believe that it’s never too early to start learning and that it’s vital to always present opportunities for children to learn and grow as soon as they start at our setting. 

By developing our programs with curriculum experts and childcare specialists, we’ve been able to hone in on what makes early education a success and created a learning program that allows our children to enter school seamlessly.
