My son has settled in so well with Bev, she's such a pro with little ones, she really eased my anxieties with him starting childcare at the age of 1. Bev takes them out everyday, keeps in touch throughout the day with pictures and cooks home made meals which all add to why Leo loves spending time with her. Bev tailors her care to the needs of the individual child, I feel so confident with him in her care. We are sad to be moving on, which is only due to moving out of the area, and I know Leo will be too.

Have loved having leo, his cuddles are the best ever and will be so missed 🥰
My daughter started going to Bev when she was 6 weeks old, now 8 she still asks when is Bev having her again! Bev offers one of the most family oriented settings I have come across, it’s certainly a home-from-home setting which I felt was extremely important. My daughter went full time to Bev’s up until she started school and I couldn’t thank her (and Bev’s family) enough for the not only instilling values into my daughters routine but also the support I was given as a newly single parent, when my daughter was very young. We worked together on many different things relating to my child and Bev really supported me with weaning, potty training, routines and so much more. My daughter has a medical condition and Bev has been superb with medication administration and learning about her condition overall. This really put my mind at ease. As mentioned, my daughter still goes to Bev during the school holidays, something she loves to still do, 8 years on! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you’ve done, you certainly feel a part of our small family :)

Thank you Helen, I also treasure the times spent with her and watching her grow up has been a joy.
I highly recommend Bev! Bev looked after my daughter from 11 months and she thoroughly enjoyed her time there. It's a home from home learning environment and Bev is so lovely. They are always making things, and doing different activities in line with the curriculum, or seasonal things. I felt my daughter was safe, well cared for and always learning new things. Bev has lots of equipment for play and they often went out to mix with other children at groups etc. my daughter still talks about going to Bevs even though shes at school now.

Thank you Kyltie, fond memories of my time with your daughter, we certainly enjoyed our time with everyone.
Beverly is a kind, loving and attentive person. My first daughter has been going for 4 years and my second is now with her. They both love her dearly as do we. She is always so accommodating and keeps you in the loop. She does many activities with the kids. My first has thrived with her and was so ready for school after attending with Beverly. I highly recommend her.
