HEMPI Start
Our growing early years network offering high-quality, affordable care and firm educational foundations for the youngest children.
So Much More Than Childcare
At HEMPI, we believe equity begins in the early years. That’s why we launched HEMPI Start — to address the gap in access to quality nursery education and to ensure that every child enters primary school confident, joyful, and ready to learn.
HEMPI Start nurseries are designed by qualified educators who understand the importance of nurturing creativity, curiosity, and emotional security. Every interaction is purposeful, every moment cherished, and every child celebrated.
When children come from HEMPI Start, you can tell instantly: they’re confident, expressive, and eager to learn. They already see school as a place of joy and discovery.”

Family and Community at the Core
HEMPI Start is more than childcare. It’s a partnership with families, helping parents engage in their child’s development and access wider support services. We also advocate for sustainable funding and systemic change in early years education, working with partners to shape national conversations about equity in childcare.
