All we can say is "wow..."

We have relocated from London to Canterbury recently with our twenty month old son, Brody. One of the most nerve-wracking parts of that move has been "will we find a setting perfect for Brody". Our son is absolutely nature mad, loves animals and is a real sensory seeker. For this reason, we wanted to find a setting that had a real focus on being outdoors, getting mucky and having lots of fun. We wanted to find a space where this could be off-set with the feeling of a "home from home" and offer the kind of comforts that Brody loves most. We viewed lots of settings but what Nicola provides at Down to Earth could not be more perfect.

Down to Earth places a clear focus on learning through play with lots of focus on time spent outdoors in nature. Brody absolutely loves it here. He has settled remarkably quickly and now understands Down to Earth as part of his daily routine. Down to Earth provide updates on absolutely everything you could think of via a secure app including photos, comments, videos, incident reports in the event of any accidents, notes relating to the administering of medication (if required). It is so polished, professional and easy to use which certainly helps keep anxious parents' minds at rest!

When we pick Brody up he is just beaming from ear to ear. You can tell he is genuinely delighted to have spent his time in this space and that is the most heartwarming thing. You can sometimes hear him laughing on the way to the door!

Down to Earth is something truly unique and special and I could not be more thrilled with the decision we've made and the outstanding service that Nicola provides.
