Lucia looked after our daughter from 1yr to 16 months for four days a week and we couldn't have wished for a better start for her. We always felt she was in a warm, caring, safe and fun environment. Her speech developed beautifully, her eating was fantastic (having been a little tricky in this department before), she made friends and enjoyed being there very, very much.

Lucia's house is wonderful, it's a bit like a mini nursery but with the added benefit of a more personal, home environment. She's got plenty of toys, great activities, theme weeks and a wonderful garden for the children to play in. Lucia cooks fresh meals everyday to provide a healthy and varied diet.

Lucia was always very flexible when we had to pick up Emily late or put her in on a Friday due to work commitments, which was hugely helpful.

Her assistants also deserve a mention for their careful, caring attention.

If you are able to get a place with Lucia then you are lucky and should take it. Our daughter would still be there if we hadn't moved too far away for it to be feasible. Luckily we have been given a beautiful book with lots of pictures of her development and her little friends which makes a great memory for her to look at.
