In Ascot we take students from 24 months old in our dedicated 2 Year old room, right through to school age in our 3 Year old + Room.
Based in a hall in a beautiful rural area easily accessed from Ascot, Windsor and Bracknell. Little Acorns opened in 1994 in Winkfield, and has continued to flourish ever since.
Important Update: Full Enrolment 3 Year Old Room
We are currently full in our 3 Year old room and unable to offer any spaces. We have limited availability in our 2 Year old room. Please complete the form below to be added to our waiting list for 3 Year olds or enquire about potential space in the 2 Year old room. You will only be contacted if we can accommodate your child or a space becomes available. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your interest in Little Acorns, Ascot.
If you are looking to secure a space for September 2026 and beyond, please complete the form to register your interest. After hours show-rounds are now available at Ascot upon request.
Mighty Oaks Room
At Winkfield we have a large bright hall where all the children can play together during free flow time. Here there are also designated focus areas which are accessible at all times. We use many Montessori Mathematics and Literacy equipment and both Mathematics and Literacy are taught in small groups. The focus in Literacy is on phonics.
Little Oaks Room
We also have a dedicated two year old room which is designed to allow the younger children to work on the floor in comfort. We have also found that the younger children settle in the smaller, cosier space. Here we have many Montessori activities which are perfect for their fine motor skill development
Outdoor Play
Our outdoor garden has plenty of space, along with areas for sand, water and a mud kitchen. We also have a quiet area which allows our children the freedom to play in a secure and peaceful environment.
We set out our garden each day with a variety of toys and activities, and we also have slide and other larger equipment for children to enjoy.
