I don't know where to begin but here it goes:

I am a single mum with two small toddlers, a one year old and a two year old. My two year old started when he was around four months as I was volunteering once a week. Then when I went back to work he was attending Monday to Thursday. I then asked Chris if she could have him on Fridays for the first few weeks of having my second son just so I could adjust to a new baby and she said Yes without hesitation, which was VERY kind of her as usually she doesn't work on Fridays.

Shortly after a few weeks my second son joined at 10 weeks old and I went back to work. They attended 4 days a week and really enjoyed the environment that I often get tantrums going home as they don't want to leave.

When I took a break from work for 8 weeks Chris kindly kept the children's space and had them when I was interviewing for part time roles.

I cannot tell you how many times this woman has helped me and gone out of her way to support me and my kids by giving me advice, looking after them whilst I was at therapy and more! She really is a SAINT!

My 2 year old is in the process of having assessments carried out to determine if he is autistic and she has been very helpful as she has experience with SEN children and can quickly calm him down.

The children go on lovely trips to parks, zoo, museums and cinema and much more!

They eat home made food and have their own cups, plates and etc.

She buys toys nearly every other day and will always be understanding of personal circumstances!
