Welcome to StarApple
Day Care
We put a little magic into all our kid’s lives
Welcome to StarApple Day Care
The first five years of a child’s life is fundamentally important. They are the foundation that shapes children’s future health, happiness, growth, development and learning achievements from nursery to school, in the family, community, and life in general. Early experiences and the environments in which children develop, can have a lasting impact on later success in school and life.
At StarApple day care, our aim is to provide a high quality, stimulating, safe and exciting nursery experience, where children are at the centre of everything. We aim for children to be expressive, explorative, creative, keen critical thinkers and most of all to learn to respect and to form relationships with each other.

To enhance our team’s skills, we collaborate with external trainers to provide professional development opportunities in areas such as improving children’s learning, reflective practice, and positive behaviour management. Our staff undergo continuous internal and external training to ensure their skills are refreshed and up-to-date with the latest developments in early years childcare.
