👩👩👧👦 Who Owns Little Stars?
Little Stars is owned and run by Laura and Paul Sanders, directors of LS Education Ltd. As a married couple with two children of their own, they understand both the professional and personal aspects of early childhood care and education.

With over 23 years of experience in the Early Years sector, Laura leads with expertise, care, and an unwavering commitment to families and her team.
