We couldn't be happier. We have two children using this setting (a 2.5 year old and a 5 year old who Simona collects after school). Her home is warm and welcoming, the food is delicious, we get lots of pictures showing what our kids have been doing and eating and there is plenty of outdoor play in a very stimulating environment. Both kids have excelled here and love coming. It is a really lovely community and Simona bad been so helpful, supportive and communicative. Would highly recommend.

Simona has created an inviting and stimulating childcare setting. Our son has settled in extremely well and the progress he has made since being in Simona‘s care is evident. Simona’s environment has been well thought out and has been set up to reflect an early years setting. Our son throughly enjoys learning through play, reading, arts and crafts and the various activities that are set daily for him. Simona provides a variety of healthy foods which our son devours. Since our son has been with Simona we have felt very at ease, we highly recommend Simona.
