Message from our founder
We create brighter opportunities for children across the country by providing exceptional wrap-around care outside of school hours, including Breakfast and After-School Clubs, as well as Holiday Academies.
Our programs not only support children's development and well-being but also provide your school with a trusted partner to extend your provision, strengthen community ties, and build a nurturing environment that benefits families and staff alike.
Why choose The Lime Trees?
Our founder, Gareth Degenhart, a dedicated father, established The Lime Trees driven by his own frustrations with the childcare experiences his daughter encountered. Over the past 11 years, The Lime Trees has become a trusted partner to over 50 schools, families, and children, delivering childcare that truly makes a difference.
We pride ourselves on offering unmatched flexibility and affordability, paired with exceptional service that supports every stage of your child’s development.
