We are so pleased we chose Lauren to look after our son (now 18 months) - she is just fantastic! Starting childcare just before his first birthday was a big transition for our son and Lauren did so much to help him to settle in, like asking about his routines, likes and dislikes etc. Lauren provides a really excellent balance of structured activities and free play in a home-from-home environment - she sets up so many different craft and sensory activities and takes the children on all sorts of outings (e.g. to farms, aquariums, libraries, playgrounds, fruit picking, wildlife walking etc.), but the children also have plenty of opportunity to simply play at home and in the garden. Lauren is caring, fun, and clearly really passionate about her job.
We love that the children all have their own sleeping space and get fresh, healthy food every day. Lauren is great at communicating, with daily photos and summaries of activities, updates at pickup time, and termly reports. She is very aware of developmental trajectories and milestones, and chooses activities to support the children's learning in a fun environment.
Most importantly, our son has been really happy at Lauren’s! He gets very excited to go there and we're so grateful to Lauren for looking after him so well!

Soodi and her team have been looking after our sons (3 and 18 months) for 7 months now and they are just amazing - we’re so happy we found them! The boys love going to Soodi’s and have so much fun there. Soodi comes up with so many different and interesting activities for the children (arts and crafts, sensory activities, music, celebrating holidays etc.) but also gives them lots of time for free play with really varied toys. There’s lots of education through play and the team make a real effort to adapt activities so they suit each child’s developmental stage which is great. We love that the children spend so much time outside in Soodi’s lovely garden too - there are even multiple paddling pools and sprinklers set up in the summer! We’re especially impressed with the brilliant trips Soodi arranges (sand pit, parks, farms, Kew Gardens, Bushy Park, etc.) - it’s great that they’re all out and about getting so many different experiences. The setting is lovely - clean, comfortable, filled with toys, but most importantly it’s so clear how much Soodi and the team love and care for the children. The boys are always excited to arrive and greeted with so much affection, and talk so often about Soodi, Maedeh and Arezoo. We’re so glad they’re being looked after so well!
