I have known Rebecca for 5 years, since she was my son's key worker at nursery, and then helpfully continued to assist with after school care, once my children started full time at primary school. As I am a busy working mum, often staying away from home, Becca has provided me and my family with peace of mind, and eased some of the guilt that often comes with having to find childcare. She is very experienced, having dealt with medical emergencies, tantrums and many unplanned events with multiple children at nursery, so I had no doubts when choosing her to look after my three under fives (including twins, one with a nut allergy). Although Becca describes herself as creative, she is far too humble and is an excellent artist and musician, which enriches the time she spends with the children, and has inspired them all to enjoy and learn new activities. She is practical, honest, helpful, flexible and kind, and has always worked very hard, willing to go the extra mile when plans fall apart or need changing. Her knowledge of safeguarding, nutrition and first aid provide peace of mind and reassurance that my children are safe, cared for and more importantly happy. A real gem, and a rare find.
