My little boy has been with Julia since June 2020. Julia instantly made us all feel very welcome and put our minds at ease. She went through all detail with us, showed us her port folio, explained to us her structure of day to day activities and learning, Set up with a timeline of how long the children will spend learning and playing each day. She accomodated our needs and flexibilty with hours and days. She answered any questions or worries we had. George started by doing some settling in days, starting with a few hours on his first day. She kept us informed through a Whatsapp group chat we have with her and she has continued to do this over the last 2 and half years. She sends daily updates along with photos from activities and groups she attends with the kids, including what they have learnt about that day. Over the time that George has been with Julia he has gone from attending 2 days to 4 full days. He really enjoys going to Julia's and always talks about the fun he has had and the activities he has done throughout the week.
Julia attends 3 different groups over the course of a week. These include various different activities, which follow the cirriculum, including learning about all different cultures, religions, celebrating different holidays, such as Divali, Bonfire night, Christmas and Easter.
George's development over the last 2 and half years has improved extremely well. He had a slight delay in speech and Julia supported this and helped along the way. George has taken part in literacy tasks, such as reading and writing, completing tasks using different eqipment such as pens, pencils, paint and recently using scissors. He regularly takes part in activities that help to improve fine motor skills, sensory tasks and health and safety, including learning how to brush their teeth correctly.
George has thrived so well at Julia's that we made the decision to keep him there full time instead of moving him over to a Nursery.
She supported us in potty training George, keeping us up to date as to how he was doing with it every day, which made us feel supported and comfortable, knowing she was helping in this next stage of development with George put our minds at ease.
Julia is a lovely lady, she is so welcoming and very accomdating, she feels like part of our extended family. I have recommended her to my friends that have children and always say how good she has been from day one.
