Thank you very much x
My little boy goes here and has done now for just over a year. He always tells me about his day and what he has done and where he has been. They are always doing an activity such as going to the park or playgroup which he loves! Viv sends updates and you can tell the kids enjoy being there! I would highly recommend!

I can truly not recommend Viv enough! My daughter has only been with Viv for 4 months but there is such a difference in her already. She gets to socialise and make new friends and they are always going out to parks, groups or crafting at home etc. It really is a home from home and although my daughter cries when I drop her off as she misses me Viv and her new friends comfort and support her and Viv usually sends me a picture of her happily playing 5 minutes later. The other thing I'm also so impressed with is the home cooked food she feeds them. I feel my daughter is a lot more intrigued to eat different vegetables being able to watch the other children do it. I could go on for ages about how amazing she is lol. I feel very blessed that she is such a huge part of my daughter growing up in these important years. 10/10
