The best start for our daughter

Reviewed

Our daughter started attending Eileen’s setting at 9 months old. Almost one year on, we are very sadly having to say goodbye due to needing extended hours for work, but we are so grateful that our daughter was able to start childcare here.

There are so many wonderful things about this setting, but here's a few highlights:
1. Eileen strikes a lovely balance of formality (policies, parent's evenings, daily reports, qualifications, routines) with informality (Whatsapp for daily images, daily drop off/pick up chats, messages when kids are off sick).
2. The children go outdoors almost every day, which our daughter LOVES and has really helped her physical development.
3. One day a week they go to a music class which our daughter also adores - she started singing before she could talk!
4. The daily routine is great, and our daughter naturally fell into the rhythm over the course of a few months.
5. The food is healthy and varied; we have been impressed by our daughter's willingness to taste any food and her enjoyment of fruit and vegetables
6. The reports are detailed and considered, and Eileen works with you if there are any things to work on
7. The affection Eileen and Amy have for the kids is obvious and it feels like the setting is a little family
8. The variety of toys and activities Eileen has is truly remarkable, and our daughter seems to be always busy
9. When I suffered a back injury, Eileen & Amy helped bring our daughter home for us

Thank you so much Eileen, Amy and team for giving our daughter such a happy, warm, start this year. We will always be grateful!
