Our Approach


We provide a homely, warm and safe setting that’s responsive to each childs interests and sensitive to their individual needs. Underlying our approach is the belief that every child is a unique and special individual.

Our Vision

Each of our crèches becomes a home from home where your little one can express themselves and make new friends in a warm, welcoming environment. Our child-initiated and adult led ethos means that we focus on each child’s individual interests and needs and support them as they investigate the world in their special way.

Our Practice

It takes a village to raise a child and we work closely together with communities parents and families to best fulfil our role enable confident and happy children to learn and grow together. It’s a role we take seriously because we believe that together we are helping to build a better and brighter future, one child at a time.

Quality Framework

At Giraffe childcare we’re committed to nurturing your childs love of life and boundless curiosity. We are all about fun and learning through play because we know that fun is at the heart of promoting your childrens emotional, social, physical and cognitive well-being.

We wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for all the love and care that you have given Leah over the past 3 and half years. I can’t believe how quickly it’s flown by in the end. She started before she was even crawling and now she has an answer for everything!
