Wolverhampton Little Walkers Day Nursery
We are a family chain of nurseries with over 17 years’ experience situated across Wolverhampton and Coseley. Our mission is to make sure all children reach their full potential and feel valued in a friendly and nourishing environment. The Little Walkers philosophy is to promote the wellbeing of children by developing three key areas. Free minds through clear and bold thinking, healthy bodies through movement and nutrition and strong spirits through independent and confident play.
Our Story
Kirkwood Walker is the company director of Little Walker’s Day Nurseries.
Kirkwood’s background is in childcare where he worked for Wolverhampton City Council for over 15 years, at first as a social worker and then in the latter part of his career, he managed a children & families team which often covered safeguarding work.
In 2004, Kirkwood opened his own nursery, Little Walkers Salisbury Street Merridale, where he could use his knowledge and skills to create an enabling environment where children could flourish and grow into confident and resilient little people who have the best start in life.
The nursery in 2010 under-went an expansion and refurbishment from a 52 placed day nursery to 82 in order to accommodate the demand for childcare places, as our nursery had built a good reputation in our local area which we still uphold to this day.
In 2016 – Kirkwood opened Little Walkers at Trysull Road in order to meet the high demand of childcare that was needed in the local area. Located in the heart of Bradmore this semi purpose-built unit offers excellent facilities in a well created positive environment, with secure parking and an outdoor play area, this nursery will give your child the perfect start in life.
In late 2020, stage 1 of our latest project Little Walkers Coseley was completed in line with our Little Walkers philosophy of converting old buildings into functional and creative spaces. We have created an amazing space from a former church to a vibrant 52 place children’s day nursery both indoor and outdoor. The 2nd stage of the development will include the conversion of an undercroft into an impressive pre-school room which will connect directly into the outdoor play area and extend our nursery into a 80+ place day nursery. We believe the environment we have created at Coseley we help your little ones, develop into healthy and thriving young people.
