About Us
Rooted in Curiosity Rising in Confidence
At Little Wise Kids, we believe every child is born wise: full of wonder, ready to explore and uniquely themselves. Our role is to nurture that natural brilliance through responsive, child-led learning in a loving, home-like environment.
We honour each child’s individuality by offering meaningful experiences that meet them where they are developmentally, emotionally and culturally. Children aged 0–4 years are welcome for now, with their wellbeing, confidence and curiosity guiding our practice.
This is not just childcare. It is my calling, and I am honoured to support the first chapter of every child’s learning journey.
Our Leadership Team
From Boardrooms to Building Blocks: A Journey of Purpose
Hello, I’m Lukeba, the founder of Little Wise Kids and a passionate early years educator.
Before entering early childhood education, I spent more than a decade leading teams in corporate and academic settings, including health, safety, environment, public transport, food manufacturing, construction, housing safety management and higher education.
Supporting young adults through important transitions showed me the lasting impact of early emotional development and educational foundations. I saw how childhood experiences shape confidence, resilience and wellbeing far into adulthood. That understanding inspired me to retrain as an EYFS childminder and become part of building those foundations from the very beginning.
Today, I bring together strategic thinking, emotional intelligence and a deep respect for children’s individuality. At Little Wise Kids, I blend structure with warmth, curiosity with care, and high expectations with a truly nurturing approach.
Our Approach
Child-Led Learning With Purpose
Children flourish when they feel seen, safe and supported. Our experienced educators thoughtfully create learning experiences around children’s evolving interests, curiosities and developmental milestones.
We believe play is the work of childhood. Children are given time to explore, build, create, question and imagine without being rushed. From planting seeds outdoors to role-playing in our home corners, every experience is designed to support cognitive, emotional, physical and social development.
- Child-led, play-based learning
- Calm and unhurried daily rhythms
- Indoor and outdoor learning opportunities
- Sensory, imaginative and creative exploration
- Support for confidence, focus and independence
- Strong relationships with children and families
Our Commitment
A True Home-from-Home
At Little Wise Kids, we do things differently and intentionally. We offer a calm, screen-free sanctuary where childhood is honoured rather than hurried.
Our setting combines thoughtful early education with genuine warmth and care. Children benefit from enriching play, English and Portuguese exposure for now, nutritious food and a family-style environment that supports them to feel secure and capable.
Our Environment
Spaces Made for Wonder
Our indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to feel like a natural extension of home. Children can discover cosy reading corners, imaginative play areas, sensory experiences and outdoor adventures in a calm, inviting and screen-free setting.
Every space is created to encourage exploration while helping children feel safe, comfortable and free to be themselves.
Our Learning Programmes
Learning That Grows With Your Child
Learning at Little Wise Kids is a joyful journey led by children’s interests. Our curriculum encourages children to explore, question and create in their own time, while educators provide gentle guidance and meaningful opportunities to extend learning.
Through play, language, sensory exploration, creativity and nature-based discovery, children develop foundations in communication, independence, empathy and critical thinking.

Our Educators
Caring People at the Heart of Our Nursery
Our educators are the heart of Little Wise Kids. They do more than supervise: they listen, guide, encourage and inspire.
With a deep understanding of early years development and a genuine love for working with children, our team builds warm, respectful relationships with every child and family. Each day, they bring care, insight and intention to make learning meaningful and joyful.
