About Me
I am a first time Mum and have been blessed with a beautiful baby boy who is 15months old. I live with my partner Jay and our Golden Retriever Rocky.
My Requirements
I am looking for a setting that feels more homely and offers a good outside space for Cody to explore. Cody is a very happy little boy who enjoys playing and engaging with other children and adults. Cody has a love of animals, so far he has been staying with family and a family friend whilst me and my partner have been working and each home has either a dog or cat or both!
We are looking for a Wednesday or Wednesday & Thursday due to my cousin having a job change and can no longer have Cody for us now and I don't want to rely on our family friend more than we already do.

My little boy started with Ramona in April when he was 17months. Ramona has been amazing from the very beginning as we had a lot of stress with the government funded hours and Cody's account having errors on it. Ramona was understanding, patient and helpful from the very beginning. Being a first time Mum with anxiety I felt very nervous about sending my son but Ramona made us feel at ease from the very beginning and Cody has settled in amazingly! He gets very excited in the car when I'm outside Ramona and Alins home!
Ramona and Alin have been so patient and caring with our little whirlwind and he actually manages to have a nap whilst he's there which shows me how comfortable he is. Barefoot Kidszone is a beautiful homely setting with everything a child could ever need and want. Me and my partner Jay are so happy that Cody was able to have his place with Ramona and that he is a very happy boy on the days he is there.

Louise, reading your beautiful words was the most amazing way to end a very busy working day!
This review means so much to me especially because I didn't ask for it (people close to me know how terrible I am when it's about asking for a feedback :)
Working with you and Jay was so natural from the first beginning and, in my opinion, this is already reflected on Cody's smooth but secure transition from his own home to his 'home from home' one. He's so happy here and makes us laugh with his genuine cute personality. Thank you for all your support!
