Outstanding care where our children flourish

Reviewed

It is difficult to fully justify in words how fantastic the care that Judith provides is. We have two children who she looks after. We have a toddler who is there three days a week and a five-year-old who is desperate to go back to be with Judith every school holiday (as she is now five and at school).
We have been with Judith for over four years and could not be happier with the setting she provides. Clearly in any care setting you would hope that your child is looked after, but this is on another level with Judith and her team. They treat our children like they are their own and provide excellent support that is tailored to each child.
When our daughter first started going there, she really struggled with separation anxiety, and it took her a while to settle. Judith was not only a great support to our daughter, and put fantastic plans in place to aid the settling in process, but she also helped us as parents to manage to change too.
Thanks to the care that was provided our daughter had no issues transitioning to nursery and school. In fact, she now thrives in these environments and much of this is down to the experiences that she had whilst with Judith.
Even during the lockdown period, Judith kept the contact with our daughter through videos that she would regularly send out and inspiration for activities we could do at home. This is just one example of the above and beyond passion that she has for childcare.
We love to receive the photos each evening of the activities that our children have been up to and seeing the fun that they have had. We know that they are well looked after including delicious meals and fun days out.
Our son is there now and is equally well settled and thoroughly enjoys going each day.
One of the great things about the care setting here is the number of children. It is small enough to be able to provide the personal level of care that we would want four our children, but big enough to also ensure our children develop their social skills with others.
We moved house just before lockdown and are now around 10 miles away, but it is worth the drive to bring the children to such an exceptional setting!
