Downtoearthchildmind's Reviews

Amazing and homely

My son absolutely loves going to Nicolas to be with his friends and see her. He really listens, engages and thrives here. His favourite part is the garden it has everything a child could need or want from slide and swings to mud pit, sand pit and water play etc. He also loves the messy play area that Nicola changes regularly to keep their imaginations going and the freedom to paint, colour and stick. I feel confident and comfortable when my son is in her care, the app that Nicola uses is brilliant it really keeps me in the loop to what he has eaten, toilet breaks and if anything is needed to know. The food choices for snacks are very good and he is willing to try new things which he wouldn't try at home.
Handovers are quick but thorough which is perfect. I 100% recommend Nicola and her family home 🤩

Exceptional Care and Support

I couldn’t be more pleased with DownToEarthChildmind! My child has been with them from 2022 to 2024, and it has been an incredible experience.
The approach to children’s care is so compassionate and thoughtful, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the well-being and growth of every child. From day one, I’ve felt confident and comfortable knowing my child is in such a nurturing environment.The personalized attention, warmth, and respect they show to children make all the difference. It’s not just about care, it’s about creating an atmosphere where kids can flourish. I’m beyond grateful for everything DownToEarthChildmind has done for my family!

All we can say is "wow..."

We have relocated from London to Canterbury recently with our twenty month old son, Brody. One of the most nerve-wracking parts of that move has been "will we find a setting perfect for Brody". Our son is absolutely nature mad, loves animals and is a real sensory seeker. For this reason, we wanted to find a setting that had a real focus on being outdoors, getting mucky and having lots of fun. We wanted to find a space where this could be off-set with the feeling of a "home from home" and offer the kind of comforts that Brody loves most. We viewed lots of settings but what Nicola provides at Down to Earth could not be more perfect.

Down to Earth places a clear focus on learning through play with lots of focus on time spent outdoors in nature. Brody absolutely loves it here. He has settled remarkably quickly and now understands Down to Earth as part of his daily routine. Down to Earth provide updates on absolutely everything you could think of via a secure app including photos, comments, videos, incident reports in the event of any accidents, notes relating to the administering of medication (if required). It is so polished, professional and easy to use which certainly helps keep anxious parents' minds at rest!

When we pick Brody up he is just beaming from ear to ear. You can tell he is genuinely delighted to have spent his time in this space and that is the most heartwarming thing. You can sometimes hear him laughing on the way to the door!

Down to Earth is something truly unique and special and I could not be more thrilled with the decision we've made and the outstanding service that Nicola provides.
