Little C looked after my daughter from 11 months old until she was almost 3. Only had to leave their care because we moved out of the area. As a nervous first time mum, the thought of leaving my daughter in the care of someone else filled me with dread, but both Laurie and Claire were amazing with not just my daughter but with me. Offering me guidance, support and advice which was simply invaluable.
They managed to get my daughter to eat all kinds of wonderful home cooked meals, and got her into a nap time routine where previous I had struggled.
A wonderful home from home, where my daughter absolutely thrived. She still speaks of Laurie and Claire to this day and she turned 4 last month.
Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

We feel extremely comfortable leaving our 16 month old with their team. In addition, we know that she loves being there as well.
