Sophie's Reviews

Below are the reviews that Sophie has written.
My 13 month old daughter loves attending Cheeky Chops (she has been there since she was 7 months) and being cared for by Lindsey and the team. She’s really grown in confidence and is hitting her development targets, and loves trying new foods and activities thanks to what she gets up to at daycare. She is always excited when that doorbell goes as she knows it means she’s about to be picked up! Other children I met when looking around were super polite to myself and my daughter and were having a great time. Lindsay is a professional, polite and friendly no-nonsense Yorkshirewoman, her communication is excellent and her childcare setting is bright, clean, fun and safe, and includes an outdoor space.

Katie is a wonderful childminder, as is her colleague Danielle. The setting is perfect to provide excellent and safe childcare for our 1.5 year old daughter. As a parent herself and with a background in education, she is energetic, very understanding and really cares about the development of the children. She organises so many varied fun and educational activities of different learning styles that they all take part in, as well as baby/toddler groups and outdoor play. This shows in the pictures and updates that are sent to us very regularly. Communication is fantastic and I feel kept in the loop. The other children in her care are kind, polite and friendly and make an effort to include my daughter in what they’re up to. She also has a wide variety of toys for them all to explore, and provides enjoyable, nutritious meals as well. My daughter comes home very happy from her days at Oak Glen!

My daughter joined Oak Glen at just over 1 year old and she is now just over 3. I wanted to add an update to my review - I can honestly say that she loves every minute of her days with Katie, Danielle, Nanny Mags and Shirley, as well as the other brilliant children at the setting. The facilities are fantastic: a warm, dedicated, engaging learning space and a large, safe garden where they spend lots of time, with all the equipment and toys your little one could ever dream of. They are given nutritious food and snacks, and participate in themed and seasonal learning weeks for all educational styles, ensuring they more than meet their milestones with fun and innovative activities for all ages. The children are treated with support, respect, kindness and love, and encouraged to treat each other and the staff the same, to do their best and be themselves. Communication is still excellent and I love seeing what my girl gets up to from photos I’m regularly sent, which puts my mind at ease, and a rundown of her day at pickup time as well as her learning diary that is given daily. I’m sure she would live there if she could! I can’t recommend Oak Glen and the staff highly enough and can’t wait for my son to join next year.
