Meet Lucy
Founder of
Dolly's Daycare
Hello, I’m Lucy, the founder of Dolly’s Daycare.
I created Dolly’s Daycare because I wanted to provide children with something truly special — a warm, nurturing home-from-home environment where they feel safe, valued and encouraged to be themselves.
I’m passionate about giving young children the very best start in life and believe that the early years should be filled with love, laughter, learning and adventure. I love watching children develop their confidence, discover new interests and reach those all-important little milestones that make such a big difference.
At Dolly’s Daycare, we take a child-centred approach. I believe every child is unique, with their own personality, interests and pace of development, and I want every child who comes through our doors to feel genuinely known and cared for.
I’m particularly passionate about outdoor learning and Forest School, giving children the opportunity to explore nature, develop independence, build resilience and learn through real-life experiences. Alongside this, we provide stimulating learning opportunities that help children develop the skills and confidence they need for their next steps.
For me, working with children is about much more than childcare. It’s about building relationships, creating happy memories and giving children the confidence to believe in themselves.
I’m incredibly proud of the caring community we have created at Dolly’s Daycare and feel privileged that families trust us with their little ones.
My aim is simple: for every child to leave Dolly’s Daycare feeling happy, confident, loved and excited about their next adventure. 💜🌿

INCREDIBLY LUCKY!
Our twins have been in Lucy's care for nearly a year and we feel extremely lucky to have found a team who have created an environment that's safe, fun and a home away from home. The twins are always excited to tell us about their day. Thank you for everything, you won't regret your children being in Lucy's care and her wonderful team!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE
Lucy has welcomed my little girl who has attended this daycare since she was 20 months old. She is so happy to be dropped off in the morning she skips to the front door. i know she is happy there and when i see the other children it always looks like such a fun, happy, stimulating enviroment. I would definitely recommend Lucy & her team.
