Lucia and her assistants Shauna and Anna are such wonderful carers! My boys went to Lucia's for almost 5 years between them, and I couldn't have wished for a better childminder. Lucia's was the perfect blend of a mini nursery (with a variety of children to socialise with, and lots of activities scheduled) and a home caring environment where they had consistency of care with the same people over a number of years. My youngest son started there when he was 7 months old and it was such a relief to find somewhere that I knew could give him the individual care he needed in a home environment. Lucia was thoughtful about accommodating his food and play preferences and caring about easing him into a routine. We got regular feedback on how my sons were progressing and very detailed reports on their Early Years progress. My boys were very happy there for a number of years and we still keep in touch as they are part of our family!
