Both of my children Harry and Olivia have had the pleasure (and still do) in attending Little Robins Childcare. I literally couldnt recommend this setting enough. Emma is kind, caring and treats the children as if this where her own, continually going out of her way to provide love, support and guidance. Harry and Olivia have loved the outdoor play, arts and crafts and baking activities, they have had such fun in visiting many National Trust properties as well as lots of different nature walks. They often come home with baked goods (that taste so yummy) and creative crafts. Harry now attends Ermington Primary school and is always very happy when Emma is doing drop off and pick up rather than mummy!! I couldnt recommend this setting more, if you want somewhere for your child to thrive in a fun and safe environment then look no further.
