My two year old and my one year old have been going to Donna for about 4 months, three days a week and they loved every day of it. At the start they weren't used to it and they were sad to leave the house but after a couple of months they were so excited, they didn't even want to look back to say goodbye in the morning. My oldest was always talking about playing and going to the park and they always seemed to have such a great time. Donna is very professional kind and great at communicating with the children. Even though they were very small, they enjoyed themselves with her and the other kids from the beginning because of the welcoming atmosphere she provides. She also takes them out whenever it's sunny and takes them on activities an baby groups. I only stopped sending the kids to her as I moved city, but ai would have sent the kids to her for a long time if not. I would absolutely recommend her!

Donna has been fab with being flexible in terms of my ambulance shifts. She allowed me to go back to work when my youngest was just 6 months old and my 2 year olds confidence and communication has came on leaps and bounds since being with her. Cannot recommend her enough. Thankyou from our family to yours, the kids love you.
