Our little girl started with Loretta when she was not even two years old. She was shy, learning two languages at the same time—Romanian and English—and going to Loretta was her very first experience in a childcare setting.

We truly could not be happier with the person we chose to care for, teach, and guide our daughter.

Iris has been with Loretta for three years, and during this time we have watched her grow and develop in such a beautiful way. She has gained so much confidence, made wonderful friendships, and blossomed into a happy, independent little girl. Her English is amazing, and her speech, communication, and manners are incredible. The knowledge and skills she has gained are real and valuable, and we know she will carry them with her as she starts Reception.

One of the things we have always loved most about Loretta is the incredible variety of experiences she provides for the children. No two days are the same! The children regularly visit farms, zoos, toddler groups, splash parks during the summer, libraries, and so many other wonderful places where they can explore, have fun, learn, and grow.

And the learning doesn’t stop there. At home, the children take part in so many exciting and meaningful activities—from sensory play and learning about hygiene, germs, and brushing their teeth, to baking muffins and preparing fruit salads. Every activity is thoughtfully planned to help the children learn important life skills while having fun.

We are incredibly grateful that we found Loretta. We appreciate not only the wonderful care she gives the children, but also the way she communicates with parents. Her transparency, the regular updates, and the many pictures and feedback we received every day gave us such a wonderful insight into Iris’s day and reassured us that she was happy, learning, and thriving.

We will never forget the reassurance and support Loretta gave us in the beginning, while Iris was settling in. It helped us feel confident that our little girl was in safe, caring, and capable hands.

We honestly cannot recommend Loretta highly enough. She is absolutely brilliant, and we feel incredibly lucky that Iris has had the opportunity to spend these precious early years with her.

Thank you, Loretta, for everything you have done for our little girl. ❤️

Thank you so much for your kind and beautiful words. It really reinforces to me that the care, time, effort and standards I strive to achieve are both recognised and appreciated and that my children are learning, developing and gaining so much from their time with me while having lots of fun!

I’m surprised you didn’t mention that Iris was only meant to with us for 6 weeks until her Nursery start… and those 6 weeks turned into 3 wonderful years!

I’m incredibly proud of everything Iris has learnt and achieved and I know she’ll do absolutely brilliantly in her next chapter at big school.
