Our Story
Little Giraffes was born from one simple idea: to offer children the highest quality childcare through a bespoke holistic approach that sets new standards in the sector.

Recognising that the right team is the key to success, Lance was joined by James, who shared his vision. Over the course of a year, they worked to create what is now known as the ‘Little Giraffes way’ — a childcare model built on our core principles of being safe, open, and fun!
