Our little girl has been attending a Home to Grow from a very young age, on a full time basis since January 2013, and was on a part time basis before that, starting September 2012.

When we first met Lydia and Dale it was obvious from the very first 10 minutes conversation that we wanted them to take care of our only child. Not only are they lovely people, but they are extremely professional and always put the children’s interest first. For a start, they give children healthy meals and everything is homemade by Dale, they never leave a child with a full nappy and have the days filled with different activities. All of these help the children develop their sense of imagination. From a very early age, our little one was painting/drawing, playing dress up and reading books. We are also glad that Lydia and Dale are taking the children to the park, to the zoo (twice in less than 8 months) and occasionally to museums, not to mention they have a lovely garden in central London where the children can play with the abundance of toys they have. At the end of the year, Lydia and Dale are organising a Christmas show, with the little ones singing and dancing, this is the best opportunity to spend time with our child and her friends at a Home to Grow.

Our daughter has always a smile on her face when we reach to the door of a Home to Grow and I find that she evolves so quickly and learns so much with them, speaking and behaving very well now.

Little details which are worth so much for parents: we receive daily diaries by email including what the little one did and ate, how long she slept, etc., also, on a weekly basis we receive pictures of the highlights of the week. This is so important to be able to see their life when we are away, and also for them to look at it later.

For all the above, we would like to thank Lydia and Dale for all they do for the children and for their devotion to their job. There is no doubt that we would recommend their services and even have our next child with them!
