Opened in January 2015, owned and run by an highly dedicated experienced team in the Education and Care sector.
Squeakies provides top quality education and care, within a warm, safe and nurturing environment. We are highly trained in safeguarding our children, within an environment that celebrates diversity and promotes equality. Our beautiful grounds allow us to learn the majority of the time outside, with our kitchen garden, den building area, sensory space, brook and a plethora of natural learning experiences.
Squeakies was born and developed from our love of nature. It is widely known that learning in nature offers numerous benefits, enhanced cognitive function, improved mental and physical health and the development of social skills. Natural spaces encourage child-led learning, where children are given the freedom to decide how they will learn… muddy puddles to jump in, sticks to build dens, tree canopies to shelter under. Added to that the wildlife, ladybirds, beetles, slug and snails, we have an abundant canvas to feed our children’s imagination.
At Squeakies we love growing our own fruit and vegetables in our Kitchen Garden. We use our own produce in the meals we provide for our children. Children are encouraged to take responsibility for the process from planting to picking! We are proud to hold Level 4 award in gardening with the Royal Horticulture Society. Children are provided with 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, with free access to milk and water. We cater for all dietary requirements.

I would just like to say that you will not find a better, more interactive, educational, fun, friendly, or cleaner nursery anywhere in Leicestershire, the staff are in our opinion the elite of the nursery profession, Our first child tried 5 different nurseries all pretty good but not in the same league as Squeakies.
Going to Squeakies has been such a great experience for our son, and for us as parents. The staff have been warm, responsive, supportive and helpful. I have felt reassured that our son has been in a very safe, kind and fun environment with staff who really care about him and know him well. They have helped him to flourish and he looks forward to attending- it’s been lovely to be a part of the Squeakies community and we will all miss it when he leaves.
Squeakies use constant innovation inside and outside, you must see for yourself why children and the parents who send there children here recommend it so highly.
