To impart your young cubs into the trust and care of others takes trust and courage. Yet, the beautiful team at Lemon Tree made that process and the days, weeks, months and years beyond, such a joyful experience. The bond and connection the carers had with our children truly aided their growth and development. The community of fun and adventure they foster for the children has built true friendships. And the stability and united culture among the team is noticeable. Lemon Tree is a special place and we are very grateful our children had the blessing of spending time there.

Lemon Tree has been my first home for the past 19 years, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the journey I’ve had here. The warm and welcoming environment, the incredible team that feels like family, and the strong sense of community make this place truly special. I’ve loved every moment—watching families grow, building relationships, and working alongside such dedicated and passionate people. Looking forward to many more amazing years ahead! Highly recommend Lemon Tree to anyone looking for a nurturing and supportive space. 💛🌿
