Ben has looked after our son from when he was about 18 months old until just over 3 years and we regard him as formative to our son’s development. We owe our 3 year old’s confidence, chatty and adventurous nature to Ben, who has encouraged him and played to his strengths in all areas. The children have so much fun while also being stimulated to learn (numbers, putting on their clothes, sharing and negotiating with each other) and develop their own independence. We also really appreciate the amount of time they spend outdoors and with Ben’s own children who share their love of the garden with the children in Ben’s care. The thought that goes into the activities each day can be seen in the photos we regularly receive and the updates we get throughout the day. We cannot recommend Ben highly enough!
