A fantastic extension to our family

Reviewed

We would highly recommend Maxine to anyone that seeks an active, creative, and structured environment for their child. She has a family oriented set up which provides an ‘easy going’ feel to the day and this meant that our boy settled in without any distress. The summer house play room is a colourful and educational place for him to play and learn; just like at a nursery.

Maxine runs a well-coordinated routine which provides the stimulus of his day to day life; essential for us as parents. From baby groups to arts-and-crafts, even the occasional baking session, she provides multiple platforms for him to thrive. He regularly brings home his creations and we get to see them in progress in our whatsapp group. She provides good constructive feedback which helps us work together to maintain consistency.

She pays great attention to detail and adds personalised touches which allows Lewis to explore in a safe environment and push his development where necessary. She made him bespoke flash cards which he can point to while speech develops, helps with signing key words, plus she’s supporting our wish to use Afrikaans; his father’s native language. She was a brilliant support handling him straight after a surgery and weaning him off puree foods.

He’s thoroughly enjoying his time with Maxine and his development has come on leaps and bounds due to her diligent and interactive programs for the kids. We love her positive, upbeat attitude, encouragement toward independence, and plenty of cuddles! Maxine is a wonderful extension to our family.
