My daughter has been in Moira’s care from age 1yrs she is now 20 months.
It’s always a worry to leave your little one, especially to start with, but Moira was great at settling my daughter and right away she was happily waving goodbye.
Moira asked me valuable questions about my daughters usual routine, likes and dislikes right away. So the transition was smooth for her. They usually start the day out and about. From gardening in the private gardens in Pimlico, to strolls in St James park, to the farm or one of the local play groups. The list of adventures and activities are endless.
Then it’s nap time, followed by a nutritious lunch. Moira always makes sure there are plenty of healthy food and snack choices available. My daughter can be a fussy eater, but Moira is very patient with her and makes sure there is something for her to eat that she likes, as well as encouraging her to try new things.
After lunch Moira utilises the outdoor space that she has, doing water play, playing in the sand or doing finger painting.
There is also a variety of books in the book corner for reading time. And nursery rhymes to sing along to, which my daughter enjoys very much.
Moira’s place is always clean and tidy. With a lovely homey feel.
Moira always supports my daughter in following her interests.
Her language skills, hand eye coordination and social skills etc are always taking leaps forward and Moira takes every opportunity to help her develop those skills, from focused play to identifying animals they see when out on walks or at the farm, for instance.
Just as important as the excellent care Moira provides my little one, is the kindness she showed me. Moira is willing to be flexible where she can, is always caring to us both, and really understands the types of things (big and small) that I would like to hear about in my daughters days and development. Moira also provides reports on my daughters development and asks me to write comments at home too. Which is invaluable.
I cannot recommend Moira enough, she has given my daughter the best start in education and care, which she continues to do so. What’s more she has made going back to work so much easier for me and I cannot thank her enough for that!
