My child, who joined Registered Panayota childCare has settled in well in Her settings.
I must say my child is Very Happy. for example; As soon as the car pulls up outside Panayota’s residence, she runs from the car to Panayota’s door, she knocks on the door persistently until the door is answered. It’s lovely to see she is so looking forward going in to Penny’s. She is confident and expresses her self.
We Communicate about her general being. We discuss my child’s daily routine and progress, as well as her response and development. She attends play groups, 1:1 session, drawings, and painting.
I want to use this opportunity to say Thank you Panayota for your hard work, care and support you provide, it does not go unnoticed. You are appreciated.
Thank you .

Our son was with Penny four days a week for just over 18 months. He has since moved to nursery but will still be in her care for sporadic holidays.
Our son truly thrived with Penny. From playgroups to park trips to activities at home, she really covered all bases and we instantly noticed a development in both his language and motor skills.
Offering a fun, secure home away from home setting, we were both able to work, safe in the knowledge that our son was getting the best care.
Penny ensured all his needs were met in terms of routine, stimulation and socialisation. We could tell she really cared for our son, and he still absolutely adores her - mentioning her most days!
We couldn’t recommend her more.
