Very lucky!

We have completely lucked out with David and Jennifer! Our 2 year old son’s Nursery left us high and dry at the end of last year and while it was a really difficult time, it led us to Free to Learn, and we tell everyone we speak to these days how this was a complete blessing in disguise. Everything they value including child led play, the outdoors, books, free expression and most importantly inclusion, has improved our son's temperament and skills significantly. He is happy, safe, and accepted for who he is with David and Jennifer and we never have to worry about how his day is going with ample updates, photos and videos of his day. He’s always having so much fun!

We really value that David has taken the time to get to know him one-on-one. He has additional needs and almost certainly neurodivergent, and the knowledge David has passed on to us through his experience and nuanced observations has been a revelation to us, and helped us to understand and manage his delayed speech and the regulation of his emotions. David has picked up on things a mainstream nursery never would have and we are so grateful.

Our son is absolutely thriving, loves his days at Free to Learn and we would highly recommend them if you are looking for childcare. Our only wish is that they would open up a school! 😆
