As first time parents we had no idea of what to expect with childcare for a 1 year old. But we did know we had found someone very special when we came across Gayle. Our little boy was immediately at ease when we first visited and has since become very attached to Gayle.

He spent 3 days a week with Gayle whilst I worked and settled well after just two short sessions. He is now 2 years and 3 months and at nursery but that 2nd year was spent so happily with her and she has become a granny to him and family to us. It was a tough year with the Covid pandemic and me being a key worker but not once did Gayle let us down. She looked after Louis like he was her own Grandson and he made a wonderful friend who he still has playdates with now.

Her home is wonderful and light and happy. And she is amazing at taking them out to the park etc although couldn’t do as much as she would have liked due to the pandemic restrictions.

We can’t thank her enough for making our little boy grow with love, confidence, awareness of others and above all a sense of fun and happiness.
