We count our blessings every single day that we found Flori. The progress our son Jasper has made under her care has been nothing short of staggering. When we think that he’s only been with her since January 2025, it’s hard to believe how far he’s come — academically, emotionally and socially.

From the very first moment they met, Flori and Jasper shared an instant connection. For a little boy who can sometimes put up barriers, this was nothing short of remarkable. Within minutes he was sitting on her lap, laughing with her, and desperate to spend more time with her. It was as if he had found a kindred spirit. Flori’s kind soul shines through her eyes and radiates from her very being. Jasper saw this. We saw this. And in that moment, we knew he would be getting the very best childcare the area has to offer.

Flori’s setting is a place filled with warmth, understanding and genuine care. She took the time to truly see Jasper. She learnt about his needs, his language learning style (GLP), and his unique strengths (even coming over to our house to receive specialist SALT training). She nurtured him with patience, skill and compassion. Flori’s belief in our son’s abilities has not only helped him flourish, but has also given us, as parents, so much reassurance and hope.

Flori also gave us incredible personal support during a very difficult professional period in our lives. She cared not only for our son, but for our well-being too — offering kindness, empathy and encouragement on the hardest days. Her warmth and positivity are contagious; she’s a genuine ray of sunshine, no matter the weather outside.

Because of Flori, Jasper is thriving. He’s happy, healthy and safe, and his cup is filled to the brim with “Flori time.” Even though he has now started Reception, he still sees Flori during the school holidays — something he looks forward to with absolute joy. We know that the foundations she’s helped him build will stay with him for years to come.

Thank you, Flori, for your dedication, honesty and boundless kindness. You have been a rock for our little boy, and for us too.

This isn’t goodbye.

It’s just ciao for now.
