We had our daughter Betsy signed up for a local nursery but a neighbour gave us a passionate recommendation to send her to Neeta as their daughter had been with her for several years. It was the best advice we could have received.

As she was my first, it was an overwhelming experience leaving her in the care of someone we didn't initially know. Reassuring messages and pictures of her helped settle my fears; in those early days I felt that Neeta was taking as good care of me as my daughter!

From starting with Neeta as baby to the boisterous toddler she is now, Neeta has nurtured and developed Betsy in every aspect of her well-being, including her speech, walking, toilet training, nutrition, health as well as helping and allowing her to find her voice and individuality.

One aspect about the care provided that we love is that there are different age groups playing together; when Betsy was a baby she watched the older children, then played with them and experienced their care for her. Now she is the one helping the littler children, which I feel really has helped teach her kindness and empathy in very natural way.

The range of topics they learn about is wonderful; we receive a weekly summary along with a collage of pictures which we look at and talk about when she is home. Neeta's house and garden are wonderfully set up with the children at the heart of everything.

Neeta always goes above and beyond for the children and for us as a family. It's clear that they feel happy and loved and anyone who has had the pleasure of sending their children to Neeta will know that the praise in the reviews is heartfelt. Neeta and Zoran feel more like family to us and we will miss them desperately when we move away from the area.

Neeta provided Betsy with the most wonderful start in one of the most important stages in her life, and we will forever be grateful for the love and support they have provided to Betsy and us as a family.
