When looking for childcare arrangements for my son I wanted an environment that didn’t feel too overwhelming and big (like some nurseries), but also safe and clean. Isabella’s setting was the perfect combination of a sociable, safe and caring environment. I felt reassured that my son was being cared for and loved at the setting. Bella takes great care in creating a fun and educational space in her home. Every room in the house is set up to suit the children’s needs. The food she cooks is fresh and delicious. The children have a great menu every week. A priority for me was the spoken Italian element at the setting. I was very keen for him to be exposed to the Italian language as much as possible so this was also an added bonus. Our son loved being at the setting with the other children and felt very comfortable and safe.
My son joined Bella’s care at 15th months having spent a few months at a different nursery. He enjoyed the nursery but it was busy, lots of turnover with staff and he was constantly sick. Bella’s felt like a home away from home and he instantly became part of the family. I felt comfortable and confident leaving him in Bella’s hands and I’ve never had to worry about how much she loves him, cares for him, helps him develop and eat well, sleep well and learn how to play and connect with others. We are going to miss Bella and her team and my son’s best friends as we move to a new area and would highly recommend her services to any other local parents.
Our son started with Bella just before his first birthday for four days a week. I was nervous about putting him into what felt like full-time care but Bella was so welcoming and understanding. He settled really quickly and she threw him a wonderful first birthday party (as she does for all the children every year) and he has never looked back. She really does provide a second home for the children, to the extent that she was also our first choice for overnight stays when we needed to travel. She provides photo updates throughout the day so you always know what the children are up to, and delicious home-cooked Italian food. Her home is dedicated wholly to the children - full of toys both indoors and outdoors - so it felt like a very comfortable transition from our home. The children always seem to be singing, practising their motor skills, reading and doing arts and crafts. Our son has now moved onto nursery and I think his confidence and ease at settling in there is also testament to Bella and her team's hard work. He is articulate, social and went in knowing his numbers, colours, how to communicate his needs etc. I am so pleased that we chose Bella's setting and we will miss the whole team so much as they really were an extended family to our family. Thank you, Bella!
Our daughter started with Bella at 2yrs old and stayed until we moved out of the area a year later. During that time she thoroughly thrived-she made great friends with the other children learning to care for the younger ones and play with her peers. The setting is very gentle and caring and Bella and her assistants are so loving to the children and had strong bonds with the kids whilst ensuring a good routine and that boundaries are known. Our daughter loved the home cooked meals and can eat spaghetti with a fork better than 5 years I know! She also potty trained before she was 2.5 years old thanks to Bella’s support. Communication and expectations were very clear and we had comfort knowing that our daughter was safe and secure. We would recommend her setting to any parents seeking a warm and nurturing environment for their child.
I can not begin to describe how wonderful our time was with Bella. Our son started with her when he was seven months. She was so kind, gentle and caring with him, it felt like we were leaving him with a family member. He spent over a year with her, was weaned on her delicious food and walked under her care. We were sad to leave and always remember her fondly.
