We could not be happier with the care our son receives here. He absolutely loves going to Nita and Lou’s house and is always excited to see what the day will bring. Nita and Lou clearly know each child incredibly well and have built strong, nurturing relationships with them.
The activities they do each day are thoughtfully planned, often around engaging themes that support the children's development and learning. The set up for the children is wonderful, with a beautifully organised room full of high-quality resources and a fabulous garden that the children make great use of. Our son especially loves the huge mud kitchen and often talks about it at home.
There are so many enriching experiences on offer, from growing and trying different foods to encouraging independence in everyday tasks. The children are regularly taken on outings to a variety of places, including libraries, parks, wildflower meadows, Murton Park and even local primary school events. Nita and Lou also meet up with other childminders which provides fantastic opportunities to build relationships and develop social skills with a wider group of children.
The routines they have are exceptionally well organised, helping all of the children feel secure and settled.
It is clear that all of the children love being here. Our son is never in a hurry to leave at pick-up time—in fact, he often runs back inside to carry on playing! Even on the weekend he will ask if it’s a day to go to Nita and Lou’s house. As parents, it is great to go to work knowing not only that our son is being cared for so well but that he is genuinely happy, thriving and learning every day.
Thank you for providing such a caring, stimulating and nurturing environment Nita and Lou, I would highly recommend you to all families.
