About us
Childcare that feels like family.
We provide high-quality, home-based childcare for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers in a calm and caring household setting. Days here are unhurried and full of meaning: messy art, story time on the rug, songs, outdoor play, and plenty of cuddles when they’re needed.
Because our groups are small, every child gets to be truly known. We follow each little one’s pace, build gentle routines that help them feel secure, and weave early learning into the everyday so that growing feels like playing.
A new name, the same heart. We were formerly known as Star Spark Family Daycare. We’ve grown into Manal’s Family Daycare - same trusted home, same loving care, just under our own name and our friendly new tiger.
What makes us special
The little things that matter most.
Everything we do is built around one idea: children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and free to play.
Safe, secure spaces
A child-proofed home, calm routines, and constant supervision so little ones can explore with confidence.
Play-based early learning
Hands-on activities, language, numbers, and motor skills woven naturally into a day of play.
Personalised care
We learn each child's likes, naps, and comforts, and adapt the day to fit them, not the other way around.
Small, settled groups
Fewer children means more attention, real friendships, and a gentle, family-like atmosphere.
Nutritious & active days
Healthy meals, fresh-air play, and a rhythm of rest and movement that suits growing bodies.
Flexible weekday hours
Reliable Monday-to-Friday care that works around the rhythm of busy family life.
