After 9 months with Lesley and Phil, we are very sad to be saying goodbye.

Our little girl joined Lesley at 10 months old. Being first time parents and going back to work full time, this was a super nervous time for us. Being responsible for picking full time childcare for your most loving and precious thing seemed overwhelming until we met Lesley.

Lesley invited us over for a viewing and we instantly knew this was the place for our little girl. We had a number of settling in sessions, at a frequency and pace we both felt comfortable with and our little girl settled in very well.

Communication has been amazing, from the very first contact, settling in sessions and throughout the duration of our time with Lesley & Phil. I received frequent pictures of what our girl has been up to which just lights up my day, and daily updates at pick up.

Within just a matter of weeks, our little girl wouldn’t have time to say goodbye to us at drop off, she would be to focused on running into Lesley’s arms then running off inside to play and have fun. As a first time mum with major mum guilt, this was the most reassuring way she could let us know that she loved being with Lesley and Phil and the other children.

We have watched our baby girl develop so much whilst being in the care of Lesley and Phil. From crawling, to walking, to first words and becoming an independent head strong little girl.

10 months later, unfortunately due to change in our personal circumstances, our time has come to say a very emotional farewell to Lesley & Phil, as we send our daughter to a local nursery.

I would like to thank Lesley for supporting me through this emotional rollercoaster of motherhood, and for always making us feel welcome and comfortable when looking after our daughter. Lesley have become a huge part of ours and our daughter life, and we are very thankful for the time put in to helping our daughter grow.
