Our Management Team
The owners of Little Lambs Day Nursery are Rachael & Tony who live locally in Gloucestershire and are proud parents of four young boys. Rachael and her family have been involved in early years care for nearly 25 years.
As well as Little Lambs Day Nursery they also run Nursery Rhymes Day Nursery in Leckhampton, Cheltenham, a very successful nursery, which Rachael co-owns with her father and sister.
Due to the success of Nursery Rhymes Day Nursery and with such positive feedback from parents they decided to branch out to provide the same high levels of care and attention at another location, combined with the personal touch that comes from being a small family owned business.
