Outstanding !

Reviewed

I added a previous review about Alison, her wonderful setting and the outstanding care that she gave to both my daughter Alice and son Rory. 10 months after leaving for Alice to start school, I would like to add another !

Alison looked after Alice from when she was 10 ½ months old to when she had just turned 4 (in the August) and started school in the September. I was a little nervous about Alice starting school, as she seemed so young – but Alison prepared her and me for the change ! Alice went into school without question, with the calm self-assurance and self-belief that I am absolutely sure came from Alison. She was only one of 6 new children out of 30 who hadn’t attended the school nursery, and the teacher (who was also new to the school) said she would never have guessed.

I am so grateful and thankful to Alison. Nearly a year later we all still miss her -and the children talk about her and the other children regularly.

Thanks again Alison.

Thank you Cat!

It is always a privilege to look after someone else's child, but to have siblings is always special. 48 sets of siblings now, so I must be doing something right.

Alice and Rory are delightful children and I miss them and you a lot. I am very happy to know that Alice settled into school so quickly with as you say, a quiet self assurance and self belief, and your recognition of that makes me feel very proud, as you know that is my objective for all children in my care.

Alice and Rory will continue to flourish, they are very bright, caring, delightful children and very supportive loving parents.

The door is always open for visits and lunch in Shenley Park!
