Outstanding

My daughter started at this setting when she was 2 years. This was during lockdown which had a massive impact on her social skills and confidence. She was scared of vehicles on the road and would be anxious if people walked towards her on the pavement.

I wanted a place for my daughter which was small enough that would ensure that she gets the maximum 1 to 1; yet be big enough to force her to be amongst a group of children and adults. I was very impressed when I visited the setting for the first time. The way Monika spoke about the children, the setting made me feel that she knew all the children inside out. It was clean and tidy and the outdoor facilities for the children in the garden was a massive highlight.

My daughter attended the setting for a year and a half and she grew and grew in confidence. The care and attention, the variety of play and creative activities geared towards the children's intellectual, social and emotional development cannot be described in words. The daily photos sent to me of my daughter of all the activities that she did was very much reassuring. Meals are freshly prepared which was extremely important to me.

In short, they look after the children as their own and when my daughter left the setting, she was ready for school and was so confident that she would sing and dance for an audience.

I still send her whenever I struggle with child care and if ever they could do pick up from her current school, I would not think twice about sending her there and would jump at the opportunity.

Thank you Monika, Paula, Kasia and Dora.
