DAYS &

TIMES

Little Elves + Fairies is open Monday to Friday, from 8:30am to 4:30pm. Each full-day session is thoughtfully designed to follow a calm, nature-led rhythm, allowing children the time and space they need to settle, explore, and flourish at their own pace.

From morning circles to woodland adventures, shared meals to quiet rest, the day flows gently with the seasons – creating a nurturing environment where imagination, curiosity, and confidence can grow.
