Little Gems Preschool

We are a small, well established setting specialising in caring for children from 2 to 5 years.

We are open term time 9am – 3pm and offer flexible sessions or full day care.

Little Gems is privately owned and led by Gemma Akins since 1994. Our highly qualified managers run the day to day activities and take the lead delivering the EYFS at each setting; Miss Laura Snellgrove at Chandlers Ford,  Miss Emily Whitmarsh at West End and Mrs Lorena Boyes at Hedge End.

We strongly value a close working relationship with our parents.

Each setting has a parents in partnership co-ordinator who strives to ensure we involve and welcome our parents into the setting in many different ways.

All parents are warmly welcome to join in any session with reading to children and getting involved in a variety of activities with them. We hold an annual father and child day. This day’s activities are designed and organised by staff usually around fathers day. Children can invite any family member they wish – be it dad, granddad, uncle or otherwise!

Informal appointments are made regularly for parents to come and speak to their child’s key person to look at their learning journals with us and discuss progress, next steps and anything else that is relevant and important to your child and you.
