Wonderful first setting for under 3s

After a rocky attempt at settling in our then 11 months old daughter at nursery, which resulted in more distress for her than we were prepared for, we were nervous about her starting childcare away from home in general.

Upon meeting Rachel, we were immediately reassured. She is an experienced professional, who is caring and a natural with this age group. She is clearly really thoughtful about her approach, which starts with the settling in process. She takes time and care to understand each child as an individual they are, and you can tell how passionate she is about her role. Within a week, our daughter was settled and happy.

Rachel takes the children out on park walks and to her allotment. Our daughter's language and social skills have really developed already in the few months that she had spent there.

We would 100% recommend Rachel to any parents looking for a home from home environment for their child.
