Home from home.
My daughter has been with Celia and her wonderful team since she was 14 months old up until she was 3 years and 2 months old. Initially we had to move childminders at short notice and Celia was extremely helpful at fitting us in with the exact hours and days that were required. Our daughter (who we were very worried about moving) was reluctant to leave me in the mornings for the first few weeks, but Celia was brilliant with her and she soon settled in well and was happy to be dropped off in the mornings.
At Celia's the atmosphere is warm and welcoming and our daughter felt comfortable and at home with Celia and the other ladies. If she was feeling tired or not 100% then they would accommodate her with lots of cuddles and stories. Celia offers a wide range of activities for the children to be involved in and she provides daily updates - including photos - to discuss your child's progress. The setting is of a good size and allowed our daughter to have the opportunity to make friends whilst not being crowded out like she may have been in a nursery setting.
We were very sad to have to leave Celia and the other ladies due to a move to a pre-school in another location, and our daughter still talks about how she misses them all! I can't recommend Celia enough and we thank her for all she did for our little girl. x
