Louise was very friendly and accommodating to all of our requirements. She developed a very good relationship with Jason and we became very good friends. She was also very understanding and supporting in every situation.
Jason learnt lots of new things from Louise, and was always happy going there.
Thank you so much for everything you have done for Jason during the one and half a year. I know he will miss you very much, and so will I.
Overall
Firstly, I was a bit concern leaving my 9 months old to somebody I did not really know. You only have to try and see how your little ones takes it.
At that age, you are concern with everything!! With Louise's care, she has been very well looked after. After a few weeks, she was reaching to go to Louise as we got there. Louise provide a safe environment with loads of toys and different games. Going to the park, go bananas, toddler groups, my little girl was always happy to go.
She never came back with a bump on her face and is always changed by the time I got there. I really had no worries whilst she was with her.
Thank you very much Louise I know that Sophia will miss you ;)
