Perfect place for our daughter

Reviewed

Our daughter has been with Tatiana four days a week for the last 18 months since she was just 12 months old. I can't recommend her highly enough. The whole environment is perfectly set up for the children with every resource you can ask for and a very large garden which is regularly used.

Communication between parents and Tatiana is done in a daily book where we are given an update on the activities from that day, sleep and eating. Informally we are sent photos and information throughout the day on text. This was especially important in the first few months so I felt reassured but now it is so lovely to be able to see exactly what she has been during during the day so we can talk to her in the evening about everything she has done.

Every month we are sent weekly themes and a list of activities for each week. There are also special events linked to the calendar (eg. father's day, Holi festival) which are celebrated. Also at weekends we are given an activity sheet that is linked to the week's theme, so we can continue the learning and playing at home. This makes me feel so much more involved in our daughter's learning.

Tatiana was very accommodating to our nap schedule and also has suggested changes as our daughter has grown. She also has a room to sleep in by herself which I think makes a massive difference and keeps her sleep environment consistent. Tatiana was also great at dealing with her dairy allergy and regularly cooked her special meals to make sure that she ate enough if she was being a little picky.

Our daughter regularly talks about Tatiana and her friends there and it really feels as if she has a second loving home to spend part of her week.
