Today, we’re celebrating nine years of growing together.
From our very first setting to a family of nurseries and people who share the same values and passion for early education, every step has been shaped by care, curiosity and connection.To mark this milestone, we’ve gathered nine quotes from nine people across Storal, each sharing what they love most about being part of our journey.
Their words reflect what makes Storal truly special: a community built on belonging, purpose and the joy of seeing children, families and teams flourish.Here’s to everything we’ve achieved together and to the next chapter of growing minds and shaping futures 💫
