About
Lollipops – Wonder, Explore, Learn

Our child-led learning environment is supported by well trained, professional teachers who guide and encourage children’s exploration of their world, using high quality resources in a natural environment.

- We follow Ako principles, inspired by the Reggio teaching philosophy, which has the natural development of a child as its key pillar
Our philosophy
Lollipops nurtures great people to be their best.
Our children are happy, caring, respectful, independent, peaceful, purposeful souls, whose minds and bodies are ready for their next challenge.
The learning journey our children take is everything to us. We respect their abilities, their worth as human beings, and we recognise their individuality. Respect for each other and our environment underpins everything we do at Lollipops.
We provide the tools to inspire our children. Passionate and professional teachers, well-resourced and cared-for premises, a loving community of parents and family.
We learn with purpose in an environment of peace and we value harmony, that’s how Lollipops children blossom.
