Who we are

Personal childcare, professionally run

Little Cubs Daycare is an Ofsted-registered childminding setting operating from approved non-domestic premises in Farnworth, Bolton.

That means your child gets the close, personal care of a childminder: the same familiar faces, their own routines and real attention, in a welcoming space set up just for children to play, learn and grow.
