Rita started looking after our son when he was 12 months. For small children it is simply the perfect place to be - a home away from home. My son loves going there and spending time with his little buddies. Right from the start we felt that Rita was doing a marvellous job. We are so pleased with the way she creates a stimulating, safe & caring home from home for experience for all the children. She is firm but also very gentle and kind with them, and they follow her lead with each other. She also takes the children in her care on outings very often (weather permitting), including playgroups which my son really enjoys. I always feel well informed at the end of the day with what my little one has been up to, how & what he's eaten, his nap hours and what he's done during the course of the day.

Rita also gives us details of their day together and special things that my son would tell her or the other kids or something he did which made the whole experience very personal and made me feel involved with what they were doing. It is also a real treat when Rita sends us an email every month with photographs of all the things our son has been up to with her and his little buddies, something we really look forward to seeing:)

We feel really lucky to have found Rita as our son couldn't be in better hands. Thank you so much Rita :-)
