Accepting Funded Hours | Now Enrolling
Ola! Hello, Parents and Carers!
A heartfelt welcome to Little Wise Kids – where the wonders of early childhood are nurtured, celebrated, and cherished. My name is Lukeba, the proud founder of Little Wise Kids Ltd. - together with a handpicked team of warm, nurturing, and dedicated early years professionals (all incredible mothers themselves), we’ve created a setting that feels less like a childcare service—and more like an extended family. A place where your little one is seen, heard, celebrated, and most of all, loved. Rest assured that we offer a unique childcare experience that sets us apart in every way.
What Makes Little Wise Kids So Irresistibly Unique?
We are an Ofsted-registered, multilingual, indoor/outdoor, and Screen-Free childcare setting.
Nestled in a beautiful 200-year-old church hall in the vibrant heart of Bristol, our setting blends traditional charm with modern vision. High ceilings, original features, and a sense of calm and creativity invite your child into a world where they can safely explore, grow, and thrive.
Our carefully designed play and learning areas are divided into vibrant “pods”, each offering a unique and immersive experience:
Science Pod – For little minds full of wonder and discovery
Maths & Numbers Pod – Where numeracy becomes fun and interactive
Doctor’s Pod – Role play that nurtures empathy and confidence
Wild Animals Pod – Sensory-rich adventures into the animal kingdom
Jango African Hut – Our African-inspired storytelling pod—alive with rhythm, culture and tales
Performance Stage – Music, movement, drama and dance
Chill-Out Pod – Soft lighting, cushions and calm
Art & Craft Table – Messy, magical, and meaningful creation
Library Chair & Bouncy Cushions – Where stories come alive and imaginations soar
A Multilingual World of Possibilities
At Little Wise Kids, your child will hear Portuguese and Spanish as part of their everyday learning experience—naturally woven into games, songs, stories and daily routines. Language is introduced gently and playfully, opening doors to global thinking and richer expression from the earliest age.
About Our Setting
From the moment you walk in, you’ll be transported into a world of discovery. Our beautiful church hall features original architectural details, high ceilings, and is transformed into an inspiring, child-friendly space filled with light, warmth, and learning magic.
Children enjoy access to a variety of immersive learning pods:
Learning Beyond the Walls
We are passionate about outdoor education and hands-on learning, and as proud members of:
National Trust
Forestry England
SS Great Britain
Bristol Aquarium
Aerospace Museum
Cheddar Gorge
...and more—we ensure our children regularly explore the world beyond four walls.
These outings aren’t just fun—they're packed with natural learning moments, fostering curiosity, confidence and a lifelong love for discovery.
Our Philosophy
Born from my own journey as a mother and a leader in corporate and education sectors—including over a decade in health, safety, and wellbeing—Little Wise Kids is built on four pillars:

Creativity
Communication
Connection
We operate with the belief that every child is unique and deserves to grow in an environment that encourages their voice, celebrates their individuality, and gently nurtures their full potential.

My Experience
Meet the Heart Behind Little Wise Kids UK
Experience You Can Trust | Nurture You Can Feel
A Word From Lukeba ??? From Boardrooms to Building Blocks
Before following my lifelong passion into early years education, I spent over a decade in leadership roles across corporate and academic sectors, including as Head of Health, Safety & Environmental for Public Transport in the West of England.
With over 11 years of experience supporting young people in the higher education sector—especially during their formative first year of university—I’ve seen firsthand the difference that early emotional support and educational foundations make in a person’s life.
That’s why I made the intentional choice to retrain as an Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) childminder: because I wanted to nurture those foundations from the very beginning. And today, I do just that—through engaging activities, personalised care, and meaningful, play-based learning.
A Childcare Setting Like No Other
At Little Wise Kids, every detail is designed with heart, intention, and a deep understanding of what children need to flourish:
A calm and nurturing environment tailored for babies from 4 months and up
Activities that gently support fine and gross motor development
Thoughtfully structured days with room for free expression and creativity
A strong focus on language development, social-emotional growth, and independence
Multi-sensory play experiences that stimulate curiosity and joy
Multilingual exposure (Portuguese & Spanish included!) through songs, stories, and play
Why Parents Choose Little Wise Kids UK
Because it’s more than childcare—it’s a second home and the FOOD IS SIMPLY SCRUMPTIOUS!
Because every child is treated as uniquely special.
Because progress is celebrated.
Because love is our foundation, and learning is our joy.
If you're looking for a place where your little one will be cared for with genuine affection, professional expertise, and an unwavering commitment to their development—Little Wise Kids UK is a must-visit.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for supporting Little Wise Kids. We are thrilled to hear that your little one enjoys her time with us and looks forward to her days here.
Myself and the entire team love supporting your little one and watching her grow. It's truly a joy to have her with us, and we are grateful for the trust you place in our care.
Thank you for the high recommendation! We look forward to many more exciting days with your little one. x
We couldn't recommend Aby and the team more. She runs the most gorgeous little setting, my 17 month old daughter gets so excited to go, often talking about Aby and the children at home. They go on amazing days out, are learning all the time (my daughter has started speaking Portuguese words already) and are so well cared for. I wish I could stay and hang out most days, especially for the delicious food (which my girlie is obsessed with!)

Grc - Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your kind words truly mean the world to us and serve as a great encouragement to our entire team. We are delighted to hear that you and the little one have had such a positive experience with Little Wise Kids.
It has been a pleasure caring for your gorgeous little one and we are thrilled to know that our efforts are appreciated. Your feedback not only motivates us to continue providing the best possible care but also helps other parents feel confident in choosing us for their childcare needs.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to continuing to support your wonderful family.
My twins have been at Little Wise Kids since they were 12 months old and settled super quickly. They come home each day buzzing after doing lots of different activities and going on lots of outings. I have been really impressed by how much they have learnt since they started and how many different things they seem to do during their time there. I love getting sent photos of what they get up to and the food provided is also amazing.

What an amazing mama you are! Thank you for your kind words - it was pleasure working with your family
Aby is an wonderful childminder, when I drop my son off he’s always very happy and I know he’s in a good hands! She’s also very positive, reliable, communicative and got lots of bright ideas to play with babies/kids! Her setting is very calm with lots of educational toys! She has also supported my baby to achieve his milestones from crawling to walking! Could not recommend her enough! Thanks Aby x
