Day Care

Our Mission and Values

At Little Luminaries Day Care, we believe every child is a light waiting to shine.
Our warm and inclusive environment welcomes children aged 6 months to 5 years, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and gives each child the space, tools, and care they need to thrive.

Open 7 days a week from 6:30am to 7:30pm, we support busy families by offering reliable, flexible childcare that blends creativity, education, and wellbeing. Every day at Little Luminaries is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and nurture emotional resilience through play-based learning, hands-on experiences, and loving guidance.

Our Story

Little Luminaries Day Care was born from a simple vision — to create a setting where children feel seen, valued, and inspired. As parents ourselves, we understand the importance of a childcare space that feels like an extension of home — safe, joyful, and full of opportunity.

What began as a weekend play club has now grown into a full-time early years setting that celebrates every child’s uniqueness. From our baby explorers discovering the world through sensory play to our preschool thinkers learning to problem-solve, each child’s journey is guided by care, compassion, and curiosity.

We’ve built our environment around inclusion and accessibility, ensuring that SEND children and families feel supported and understood. Our trained staff adapt learning experiences to meet individual needs, using sensory tools, communication aids, and visual supports to make learning meaningful for all.

Our Mission

Our mission is to nurture confident, curious, and kind young learners through creative education and compassionate care.
We aim to provide every child — regardless of ability or background — with the foundations they need to flourish in school and in life.

At Little Luminaries, we:

Create a safe, stimulating environment where children feel loved and respected.
Deliver a balanced curriculum of play, exploration, and early learning.
Support SEND inclusion through personalised planning and one-to-one attention.
Encourage independence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing every day.
Partner closely with parents and carers to celebrate each milestone, big or small.

Why Choose Little Luminaries Day Care?

Our Values

At the heart of Little Luminaries Day Care are five guiding values that shape everything we do:

Inclusivity

We believe every child deserves equal opportunity to learn, grow, and shine. Our setting is fully inclusive and SEND-friendly — where individual differences are celebrated, and support is personalised to each child’s needs.

Creativity

We inspire imagination and self-expression through art, music, stories, and play. Creativity fuels confidence, helping children explore the world in their own unique way.

Care & Connection

Our team provides warm, nurturing care in a family-like atmosphere. We build trusting relationships with children and families, ensuring everyone feels valued, heard, and supported.

Curiosity & Discovery

We follow the children’s interests to spark a lifelong love of learning. Whether it’s through STEM play, sensory exploration, or outdoor discovery, we encourage hands-on experiences that make learning fun and meaningful.

Community

We are more than a day care — we are a community. We work hand-in-hand with parents, local schools, and support networks to give every child the best possible start, together.
