Our story
Just Like home Childcare was founded by katie Heal. Katie trained at the world famous Norland college. Norland nannies provide childcare for royal families, aristocrats and celebrities. After working with many families around the globe as a nanny and maternity nurse, katie settled in hove and started her own family in 2003. It was during this time that she was approached by many local families for her childcare expertise.
Katie continues to draw upon the knowledge, professionalism and high standards of Norland, bringing world-class childcare principles to local families in Brighton & Hove.
Katie's Mission
Katie has always dreamed of creating a place where children feel truly at home; a place where they are loved, nurtured and encouraged to grow into confident, happy individuals.
There was such demand for a homely environment rather than a traditional nursery where every day follows the same routine. At Just Like Home, children are encouraged to make their own choices, follow their interests and develop their independence through play and exploration.
It may be a childcare setting, but it feels Just Like Home.
Why Orange?
The inspiration behind our orange branding came from a simple family moment.
At a halloween playgroup, katies twin boys were dressed in matching bright orange pumpkin costumes. surrounded by lots of children, they were incredibly easy to spot wherever they played.
From that day on, orange became much more than a colour – it became part of our commitment to keeping children safe on our adventures.
