Dove House
Dove House is a charity which looks after and supports people and their families with a life limiting illness throughout Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. Set up in 1980 we have developed a wide range of specialist services both on our inpatient unit and in the community.
To help us fund these services we will often think outside the box and look at areas that would, not only align to our values, but also provide sustainable income in the future. So, in 2015 the concept of Little Owls was first discussed and in May 2016 we opened our doors and welcomed our first children.
Little Owls @ Dove House
Although Little Owls @ Dove House is based on the same site it is completely independent and run from a separate building. This facility provides an excellent environment for children to develop and thrive, with 3 separate outside play areas and a beautiful woodland walk to explore.
Little Owls @ Ainthorpe
Little Owls @ Ainthorpe is a brand new facility, situated within the footprint of Ainthorpe Primary School on Willerby Road. The nursery is completely independent although it does benefit from having a good working relationship with the Primary School. The building and facilities have been designed specifically for the nursery and incorporate 3 spacious outside play areas.
Little Owls Day Nurseries
At Little Owls we regard all children as individuals, as such we strive to work closely with parents and carers to ensure we know as much about your child as possible. We are particularly keen to learn about their individual needs, likes and dislikes, personal characteristics and familiar routines which all assist us in supporting the children’s transition into the nursery and to enhance the quality of the professional relationships that develop between our children and our practitioners.
These relationships support children’s self-confidence thus enabling them to build social relationships with other children in the setting and to develop throughout the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.
Our aim is to ensure all children enjoy their time at Little Owls and all parents and carers are secure in the knowledge that their child is receiving the best quality care and education possible in a happy, relaxed and educationally challenging environment that supports your child’s individual development stage.
