Little Dukes programmes
Little Dukes is the early years arm of our family — with independent nurseries in London, Richmond upon Thames, Hove and Worthing.
Starting nursery can be a daunting prospect, for parents as much as children! We provide support to make the transition a smooth one. Little ones receive a first-class education, but they’ll also be welcomed into a second family, with the love and care you’d expect to find there.
It’s our goal to lay the foundations for a happy childhood, a fulfilling future, and an enduring love of learning.
