Professional, warm and caring

Reviewed

My son was with Vicky and Stacey for 3 years and, the only reason he left, is because he started school in September, out of the area. I cannot recommend them enough.

As a first time Mum, I was very nervous about leaving my baby and wanted him close to my work place. I therefore enrolled him in a nursery, but, unfortunately, it was not the right environment. Luckily, a colleague recommended Vicky to us and, upon meeting her and her care assistant, Stacey, they instantly put my mind to rest. Vicky is very professional and she eased me into the process, giving me the time and support that I needed.

Additionally, Vicky offered me support and guidance when I needed it and, more importantly, she was always amenable and happily gave her time. Which, as a first time Mum, I found to be invaluable. Drop offs were no longer a problem, I would have to say goodbye, before the door was opened, because he would run into the house in excitement!

Even when we moved out of the area, he continued to stay in their care. There were lots of reasons for this, but mainly because Vicky has the same expectations, values and boundaries as we do at home; providing consistency.

In conclusion, the early-years support provided by Vicky is outstanding; she adapts to the individual needs of the children in her care and tailors their support. My son is now in year R and all of my concerns about his transition have been allayed, something which I believe is due to my partnership with Vicky and Stacey.

I honestly can't recommend them enough they have made such a difference in all our lives and we can't thank them enough!
