We have a huge commitment
Our Educational Programs
We firmly believe in the uniqueness of each child's learning style, and this helps us to build a custom-tailored approach to cater for your child.
Toddler room 2-3
Our toddler room provides children with the opportunity to learn through exploration, play and interaction with both the environment and adults. This approach helps to build their confidence across all areas of development and learning. The ratio in our toddler room is 1:4, in accordance with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). We support their natural curiosity by allowing them to actively participate in every activity.
Toddler Room 2-3Years
Pre-School
Our preschool room consists of children aged 3-5 years, with a ratio of 1:8. This room serves as a preparation space for children transitioning to school. We engage in activities that foster their independence, such as dressing themselves and feeding themselves during meal/snack times. Additionally, we carefully plan our activities to build their confidence, resilience, and positive ‘I can do’ spirit in them are they prepare for school.

Centre Information
We believe children learn by building on the knowledge they already have – primarily exhibited through play. At The Light Academy, our teachers help children learn by creating a rich environment to explore via exciting educational activities.
-
Image of the child
Teachers can then shape and build on that knowledge by discovering what children already know through observation, one-on-one conversation, clarification, and invitation to explore the world around them.
-
Positive Discipline
Any forms of corporal punishment are never used as a means of disciplining our children. This "no use of corporal punishment" policy extends to parents with their own children while at school or school-sponsored events.

“My son has been attending TLA for almost a year now, the care and development of my son is brilliant, I always feel 100% confident he will be well looked after. TLA is a second home to him.
They do a variety of activities and my child always talks about what they do.
All of the staff are so nurturing, supportive and they provide him with so much care, attention and positivity. My son is so happy to come to nursery every day.
I would highly recommend TLA (The light Academy Nursery, Leicester) to anyone looking for a nursery in Leicester.”. -
