One in a Million

Reviewed

After obtaining a residential order for my son, Danny and becoming a single father, I had to make several changes to my life, one of which involved going part time at work. Therefore I was in need of childcare for Saturdays.

After receiving a message from Jessica, I took Danny around to meet her and Ian. We were made to feel extremely welcome from the outset and Danny was soon up playing a game of catch with Ian, despite him normally being a very shy child to begin with. What should also be mentioned is what a credit Jessica and Ian's young sons are to them both, as this illustrates the kind of environment you will be leaving your child/children with.

Deciding to place Danny in the care of Jessica and Ian, was one of the best decisions I made during a stressful period and immediately helped me relax when going to work. Danny always came home full of stories about where he had been and what he had been up to, which in itself is amazing. Previous to this it had been very difficult just to get Danny to talk about his day at school as his confidence was low. On more than one occasion, I have revisited some of these places with Danny as a result, in turn making my relationship stronger with my son.

As well as the standard childcare, Danny was also included in Jessica and Ian's little boys birthday party and they even had a little celebration for Danny's 8th birthday. Perhaps the most touching though was picking a Father's Day card with Danny for myself to open on Father's Day. A really personal touch very much appreciated.

All I can say really is that if you decide to leave your child in the care of Jessica and Ian then you will NOT regret it - your child will be well cared for, VERY well fed (Danny had his favourite meal cooked for him also on his first day), very well stimulated and will enjoy his/her time immensely.

As the title suggests - One in a Million.

Thanks so much Jessica and Ian - you really are amazing
