The Wigwam Day Nursery

We’re Emma and Rebecca, two sisters who operate two day nurseries – The Teepee in Bracknell and The Wigwam in Reading. We set up the nurseries because we couldn’t find the childcare we wanted for our own children.

We believe small is beautiful, so much so it’s our company name (Small is Beautiful Ltd). We aim to fill the gap between the small one-man band nurseries and the large national chains. We offer the big thinking and experience that comes with owning more than one nursery and combine it with a small, personal, family feel.

Everything is on a small, friendly scale – small room sizes, intimate personal care, and a devoted team of helpers. We have a very low turnover of staff, and never use agency staff.

The children love it here, and thrive in the positive, family feel we create. And our parents know their children are in safe hands, which gives them the peace of mind to get on with their busy lives.
