Little Angels nursery is conveniently located near junction 13 of the M5 in the picturesque town of Stonehouse. The Nursery has a rural feel being positioned on the towpath of the Stroudwater canal.

Little Angels has been owned by Fran and Tim since 2014. The warmth and natural friendliness that you will experience from all of our staff from the moment you step inside, whether on a visit, a settling in session or just day to day, it’s in our blood.

We are passionate and united in creating something really special.
