Lorraine Kara

Lorraine Kara is manager of one of the Little Garden Day Nurseries: a family of London-based day nurseries and pre-school facilities founded on more than 25 years’ experience of caring for babies and children. A dedicated Christian and mother of three, Lorraine successfully converted the nursery's rating from 'Inadequate' to 'Good' within six months. She was raised in southern Africa, where her childhood was filled with outdoor adventures that fostered a deep love for nature and gardening.

A passion for early years education and a commitment to ensuring children feel that they truly fit in drives Lorraine to embed diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) principles into her nursery curriculum and environment – creating a warm, inclusive space for all. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Education and Leadership and is currently advancing her expertise through a Master’s degree apprenticeship in Senior Leadership, strengthening her skills and enabling her to serve young learners and their families even better.
