About us

Alpha Childcare was set up in 2004 by Caroline Popoola. 

Caroline worked as an insurance underwriter for 12 years and after starting her own young family – she was empathetic to the need for parents to leave their children in a safe, clean and friendly environment. When Caroline was made redundant, she took the opportunity to focus on building the brand and the people that make up Alpha Childcare today!

As a team, we are committed to making sure that our parents feel at peace, when they are entrusting children to our care.

There is a saying that “it takes a village to raise a child” and we see it as a privilege to be a part of your child’s life and nurturing the next generation.

Our ethos is to create a nurturing environment in partnership with parents. We believe that every child is unique and we encourage individuality and choice. Children can be creative and explore the environment and be adventurous in safety.



All our childcare settings are unique and retain their individuality, while having the support of a team of professionals at our head office ensuring the nursery is run to a high standard while offering the personal touch. Each setting is carefully designed to encourage children to learn independently in a fun, safe, secure and healthy environment.



Our staff team is carefully selected not only for their professional childcare qualifications and experience, but also for their personal qualities and their commitment to provide each child with quality care, and their continuing enthusiasm to develop their skills through further training.

We aim to:

Create a stimulating, caring and safe environment where each child’s individual needs are met and where they can develop creativity, individuality and self-confidence in secure surroundings.

To treat each child as an individual and recognise and celebrate individuality and diversity which helps promote a rich learning environment.

Promote the development of a positive self-image within all children and families.

We will achieve this by:

Encouraging the participation of parents and carers in all aspects of the running of the nursery.

Creating a welcoming atmosphere which makes the child, parents and carers happy and comfortable within the nursery.hildren and families.

Having a thorough recruitment and induction process. Valuing our staff and encouraging and supporting on going professional development.

Continually monitoring, reflecting and evaluating the effectiveness of our practice. We will identify our strengths and weaknesses and constantly look for ways to raise the quality of the service we provide and to improve outcomes for all children.
