Eli has been so fantastic. My son has been here since he was 1 year old and he has always been super happy to be dropped off in the morning and happy when I pick him up. Eli sends lots of pictures of the things they get up to and he always looks like he’s having fun with the other children. Also Eli has offered extra days when I’ve been stuck for childcare which has been a life saver. I would recommend her very much.

My son has been with Elena since he was 9 months old, he is 2.5 and off to nursery from September. Elena has a huge amount of experience, it has been very smooth since the beginning. Communication with the parents was fantastic, we received multiple pictures and updates daily. She is super reliable and honest, and helped my son through major transitions such as nappy training. I loved how she is always smiley and positive, she truly cares about the children and finds fantastic activities. My son thrived there and I could tell he felt supported. I could not recommend her more.

Elena has been looking after our daughter since she was 9 months old. She is now 3 years old and starting pre-school within the school in which I work. Elena has been absolutely incredible! She has supported our daughter to grow into a happy, confident, independent, kind and caring young girl. One who loves learning, loves exploring, is adventurous and wonderfully curious and inquisitive. Our daughter has loved going to Elena each day and settled in very quickly when she was a baby, making the transition for us as parents much easier than we expected. You can tell Elena loves the children she works with. She is their greatest champion and always instills in them self belief. Our daughter has loved being with Elena each day and will miss her care dearly.

Our son started Elena's setting during the pandemic after we had a bad experience with a nanny we employed. Elena was extremely flexible and reassuringly reliable during this time and made the transition easy for both us and our son. Our daughter joined 2 years later and both children have thrived under the care of Elena and her fantastic team. The children and will miss all the love, care and attention they get as well as all the fun activities they do with Elena.

My son attended this set to from the age of 10 months until just over 2. We couldn’t have been happier with the care he received here. Elena does a fantastic job at keeping the children safe and ensuring they are happy! Our son was always delighted to go in and enjoyed playing with Elena and the other children. It really did make the return to work so much easier knowing he was safe, happy and really well cared for! Couldn’t recommend more highly!
