Highly recommended - Hana did an amazing job

Our son has been going to Hana's setting between the age of 5 months to 3 years old (2017-2019). It was supposed to be a temporary solution for a month because we were about start at nursery, but we liked her and her setting so much that we cancelled our nursery registration.

Hana has done an amazing job offering a nurturing, educational and loving environment.  Hana's house is well set up for dealing with young children with a range of educational play equipment that is regularly rotated to keep the children stimulated and learning. Her adaptability was also very welcome to adjust to our son's routine as a young baby (bottle times, nap time, etc.) and her daily outings were pretty essential to keep our active toddler happy. We further appreciated that the outings were making the most of all the local resources for learning or getting to learn about Nature: the library (including rhyme time), the Maritime Museum, Mudchute Farm, the Ecology Park and Greenwich Park. Our son enjoyed all the singing activities and often sung the songs he learned. We could often tell if he had been to rhyme time.

The food was home-made and healthy which was a very important thing for us. Our son still likes vegetables which is a nice team-work success. Hana was able to adjust the food for our son's (moderate) cow's milk protein allergy and we never had any issue. With Hana's help we also managed to stop using the dummy when we thought the time was right and successfully managed potty training, we feel that it went very smoothly.

We always knew about the progress and milestones because Hana always found the time to let us know how the day went at the end of each day. Hana always has a smile on her face, regardless of how busy the day is and it really communicates how much she loves her job. We also enjoyed the regular photos she sent on weekends showing the recent activities and outings.

The setting has a great family feel and Hana's experience is invaluable which makes her it a great place for little children in the early years. We will miss it! We couldn't have been happier with our choice of childcare!
