Simone looked after our son once a week from when he was around 18 months to just recently when he started school- and our daughter for about 9 months- they loved going to her. She took them to a local playgroup which they adored, as well as on various outings. Simone is a vary caring person, who clearly loves the children. I knew they would always be safe and happy in her care. She kept us updated about their progress- with a folder including photos of their development- but also a diary we took home each day letting us know key things about their day- and would send us photos and videos of them too. They also came home with some really beautiful pictures/arts and crafts at times that she had helped them with, which was very sweet! Simone was also very flexible working around my unpredictable work hours, which was much valued. We have had to stop going regularly due to my son beginning school and the logistics being too tricky, but hope to come again during school holidays.
