I would highly recommend Alison for anyone looking for full time care for little ones or after school care for older ones. She has created a very warm and welcoming environment and my kids are always excited to go. My daughter loves going with her after school and they pack lots of fun into a short period of time! She always has a great time there during the holidays as well. Alison offers a lovely variety of experiences and activities and my daughter always comes away happy. When I have had concerns about my daughter’s emotional understanding, Alison has incorporated some activities to focus on this, a huge benefit of being a trained primary school teacher! When my toddler goes on ad hoc days he always has fun and Alison makes sure he is settled and keeps me updated on how he is as he is not there consistently. I would definitely recommend!

I would absolutely recommend Alison! Alison is so lovely and I feel completely at ease when she looks after my son. They really are busy bees and Alison puts in so much time and effort and provides a wide range of wonderful activities and experiences and keeps me up to date with everything on an app and I love to see how much fun he is having. My son settled in very quickly and enjoys going, he tells me everyone's names and tells me little stories and when I am dropping him off and explain where we are going he gets excited which speaks for itself. I really appreciate how much time and energy Alison puts into creating learning experiences and the range of opportunities he has, they are always up to something, bookbug, playgroup, walks out and about. I couldn’t ask for more. We have been with Alison since August 2024 and I couldn't be happier with the care and bond she has given my son. Highly recommend.
