home from home childcare
that wraps around your family for 4-11 year olds
local, safe, loving homes
We provide children with a unique space, safe and fun environment before and after school where they are free to explore.
hot home-cooked meals
Every meal we make at Little Crumpets is made with real care and thought. We want to ensure that all children go to school on a full tummy and can’t wait to get back to a delicious, fresh, home-cooked dinner around the table.
flexible drop off and collection
We offer a loving, supportive, home-from-home environment where children can grow and feel part of an extended family. So no matter how long your working day Is, you know that your child is happy and well cared for.
what’s the difference between Little Crumpets @home & @school?
Our @home offering is our original, smaller home-based setting with limited spaces. Run by myself or Lucinda, our two homes are next door to each other, just across from Worple School and close to The Blue School and St Mary’s School.
Our @school setting is larger, based at Worple School. It offers the same home-from-home feel, with the added benefit of more space and a larger outdoor area.
Both offer the same warm, nurturing care that Little Crumpets is known for—just in different environments to suit your family’s needs.
oodles of fun with no screens
Every day at Little Crumpets is different. Because we know each of our Little Crumpets individually, we always have them in mind when choosing activities, arts and crafts, games, and special moments. Little Crumpets is good old-fashioned childhood — a place where imaginations are set free, adventures are had, and wonderful creations are made.
In the summer months, the children eat outside in the garden, the paddling pool and waterslide come out, and the garden is filled with laughter and play. Everything you, as parents, would wish for your child to enjoy while you’re at work — we do our very best to guess it, create it, and make it happen.

“Little Crumpets is the crème de la crème of wrap-around care. Having started a new job and needing reliable childcare, I couldn’t be happier with the Little Crumpets team. My children are happy, safe, the food is amazing, and we feel a part of a social little community. We couldn’t recommend it more!.”
