Wouldn't go anywhere else

In Jan 2014 I began my search for childcare for my son Oliver who had just turned two.
We tried a couple of settings but Oliver just wasn't settled. I then got recommended Jo and Chris, they accommodated Oliver at very short notice and he settled in like it was his second home.
Oliver used to slam the door on my face before I could even say bye he loved it so much, I got regular pictures and a daily diary which informed me everything and more that I needed to know about my pride and joy.
In late 2015 Oliver began school where he was advancing in every area due to the education insights he recieved while with Chris and Jo. I also had a little girl Esme this year, on days I was feeling a little overwhelmed or just needed to catch a break Chris and Jo were still always on hand to help with both the children this continued up untill 2018 when we moved out of area and we all broke our hearts as Chris and Jo felt like family.
Since then I've had a further two children and now as a university student I was recently in need of a childcare provider who I know first hand will genuinely love my children. As I no longer live close I began the search closer to home but again I just couldn't settle and neither could the girls.
I decided to give Chris and Jo and call and see if they were able to accommodate my girls and of course they went above and beyond to place them in their care at really short notice. My youngest Daisy has very strong attachment and I was really upset at the thought of her crying while I wasn't with her, only to receive an image of her on Chris's knee smiling enjoying the love they provide.
My son is now 9 and still recalls lots of fond memories. 8 years, 4 kids and 3 house moves later Chris and Jo continue to support me and more importantly the children in everything they do.
