Brainy Bugs have been caring for my 17-month-old son for almost a year, and I have only positive things to say about the experience. Telena and the women who work with her are always incredibly warm and kind, and the whole place has a really lovely atmosphere. Because this is Telena's family home too, it feels very safe and unthreatening, but Telana has decorated it in a way which puts most nurseries to shame, with jungly vines hanging from the ceiling and lovely work by the kids on the wall. Like any one year old, my son has had days where he's been teething or overtired, and it is clear that he gets the extra care he needs on those days. While he's too young to actually tell me what he's been up to, it's clear that he's always had fun, eaten good food, and been safe and happy. In addition, when I've had to work later than my lunchtime pick up, Telena has been great at giving me extra hours if she has space.
Like all mothers, I was anxious about putting my son into childcare and whether he'd be ok, but the moment he settled in I knew we were fine. I can't recommend Brainy Bugs highly enough.
