About us

We are Dragonfly

We have over 25 years training experience in the childcare industry, working in various different sectors including sessional nurseries, private nurseries and childminding.

Kate has worked full time throughout her life, requiring full time and part time childcare for her children. She understands the value of finding a setting that supports not only your child but the family unit as a whole. We offer guidance, a warm and welcoming environment, whilst you navigate being a parent.
