Why Choose Little Companions Leicester?
We believe that every child arrives in this world naturally curious, eager to explore and ready to learn. At Little Companions Leicester, we've built a nursery that honours that.
Since opening our doors in 2016 in the heart of Leicester's vibrant South Highfields community, we've been dedicated to one thing above all else: giving every child a place where they feel safe, seen, and truly inspired.
Our Montessori-inspired approach is enriched by Islamic values, nurturing children not only to be independent, confident learners, but to grow into kind, respectful, and morally grounded individuals. We believe when a child’s education is rooted in strong values, everything else flourishes alongside it.
We'd love to show you what makes us different. Come and see it for yourself.

Our Approach to Early Years Education
At Little Companions Leicester, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework through a Montessori-inspired lens woven together with Islamic values, and we think that's a genuinely powerful combination.
We're committed to raising children who are not just academically ready, but emotionally resilient, kind, and confident in who they are.
