Roisin is quite simply outstanding. We waited years for a place with her, and it was absolutely worth it. We have used her for 2 years now for after school and holidays. Our daughter can find transitions difficult and sometimes struggles, but Roisin has never once made that feel like a problem. She has always settled her beautifully — there have been days when I've had a call from school saying she was really upset, and by the time she's been with Roisin for a little while, she's completely fine. She understands the school, she understands the children, and she gets it right every time.
The activities she plans are brilliant and really well balanced — the children get plenty of variety and outings without ever coming home overtired. Her communication is excellent too: messages from school always reach us, nothing gets missed, and we never feel out of the loop. She's also been wonderfully flexible on the odd occasion we've needed extra support outside our usual sessions, like a school drop-off at short notice. Honestly, I could not hold down a full-time job without the support Roisin provides for our family. I would love for our youngest to go to her when he starts school, though I suspect she'll be full — because she's that good. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
