My husband and I, visited a number of nurseries in the area and in my opinion most of the nurseries are not on the same level as Nellys little elephant childminder.
From the moment we stepped into Nellys little elephant’s (Karens home) we knew right away that this was the place for our dd. We had 4 main points we looked for:

* Is the environment bright and colourful? – Yes! Nelly’s was very colourful and bright, which gave a happy, warm and safe atmosphere.

* Are the staff friendly? - Yes, there is always a friendly face to open the door. The staff are very caring, which gave me the peace of mind I needed to feel comfortable with sending my dd to Nelly’s every single day with little to no worries.

* Is there a wide range of activities for the kids? – Yes, absolutely (arts and craft, singing, counting, learning about garden creatures etc.- the list goes on). If you are looking for childcare that will stimulate you little one then this is the place for you.

* Outdoor activities? – Yes! Karen has got a lovely size garden space for the kids, with a variety of activities for them to do, in addition to this, they also have regular visits to the local play group amongst other things.

I should also add that since my dd has been at Nelly’s I have had regular updates on her daily activities, pictures included.
In a nut shell if you are looking for peace of mind with your childcare… then you will definitely get it here.
