As a first time Mum it was daunting to leave my son in someone else's care. But Tara did a great job of making both of us to feel comfortable. My son began with Tara when he was 10 months old and he has come on leaps and bounds since he's been in her care and thanks to her ( now 3 years old ) is so ready to start Nursery.

It has been so reassuring to know he is somewhere safe, and cared for but also someone who is interested in his overall development. When he is home the work she has done is reflected in his behaviour and skills. I'm always impressed by the activities and trips she has taken him to including Museums, the seaside and the Zoo and activities such as Swimming, Soft play and the local Stay and plays. She has ensured he is rarely indoors and out gaining new and varied experiences.

Tara has supported us at every stage including fussy eating and transitioning into potty training. She has been patient and flexible especially in regards to changes in pick up times and regular communication. I always look forward to her daily photos and texts regarding my son's day.

He loves going to Tara and raves about both her and her daughters they have all made him feel part of the family. Both of us will miss them very much. The next family she works with will be very lucky.
