Pippa has looked after our son since he was 11 months old. As a nervous parents, she immediately put me at ease creating a wonderful whatsapp group that has shared all his memories at her setting since even the first settling in days! We were also new to the area, and would just say Pippa welcomes you in with such warmth and kindness that you feel as a parent also cared for.

Our son had multiple food allergies at the time he started, Pippa took these on like a complete champ finding delicious alternative recipes for him, creating Easter egg hunts that wouldn't permit from taking part. And also giving him the vocab + confidence to know what was a safe food for him.

He has thrived in her setting as a result, and is now so much more confident physically and emotionally, climbing wherever he can and speaking his mind. She has nurtured so many skills that its hard to count, and given him such lovely, amazing experiences in both her setting and the outdoors! We have loved seeing him come home every day happy and excited by the day he has spent in her care. She has helped make him the confident, zany, happy boy that he is today and we will sorely miss her + her family!
