About Us

Total Tots has two day nurseries based in Lancaster and Morecambe. Child constructing stickle bricks The Lancaster site was established in June 2003 and in May 2008 we opened the Morecambe branch.  Both nurseries cater for children from three months to four years old.  

Our vision


Total Tots vision is to provide a safe, happy, caring and stimulating environment where we put the welfare and happiness of our children first at all times.

Our aim is to challenge discrimination, stereotyping and break down barriers to inclusion.

We believe that all children and families have the right to feel valued as an individual. We aspire to provide a full and well planned play based curriculum through the Early Years Foundation Stage by offering a wide range of exciting and challenging facilities and resources, both indoors and outdoors. Our setting is a place where children are encouraged to recognise their full potential.

We seek to foster the growth of independence and confidence and promote curiosity and enthusiasm. We will endeavor to ensure that special educational needs are met.  To achieve this we work in partnership with parents, carers and children and colleagues from supporting disciplines. Total Tots has well-qualified and highly committed staff.  They too are valued as individuals and their learning celebrated.

Our vision is an ongoing process which involves a partnership between staff, parents and inevitably children. We will strive to build on our existing good reputation and continue to move the setting forward.
