Led by Our Heart, Grounded in Strength
Founder 'Uncle DD', is breaking the mould. As a Male educator, powerlifter, fighter and nurturer, he’s living proof that masculinity and tenderness go hand in hand. With every story read, nappy changed, or tear wiped away, he redefines what it means to lead with strength.

"Throughout, Donnell has always had a warm presence, guiding them with calm and good humour. He shows genuine interest in, and curiosity about, their passions - imparting that special gift for a child to be seen, listened to and nurtured as they grow. This was particularly key for my son, to have male nurturing figures he could relate to."
Carol
“My son has been cared for by DD (or Uncle DD) since he was 10 months old. He has just turned three and he has thrived under DD's care. I could not be more delighted with the level of attention, warmth and dedication he has provided - my son has developed from a slightly anxious, shy, boy into a secure and happy toddler under DD's care, and I could not be prouder.”
Clare
“My little boy has been with Uncle DD for 9 months now, from the age of 8 months and I genuinely feel like I am dropping him off with his second family. The love and care given to my son and the other children in DD’s setting gives me such comfort and security while I work. I know my son is learning and growing in the best ways under DD’s care, his face lights up when I drop him off every morning. ”
