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. Driven by a passion to give children the best possible start in life, Lance envisioned a space where inclusivity, learning, innovation, and quality were not just encouraged—they were at the very heart of everything.
​
Recognising that the right team is the key to success, Lance was joined by longtime friend 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!
