Our son has been going to Monika's since February 2020, and we are so happy with the setting.
Monika, Paula, Kasia and Dora are wonderful, and care for all the children so well; they make their time spent there fun, educational and exciting.
We are kept well informed about the daily activities and his progress, which we can then discuss and reflect on with him in the evening. We are really happy with the range of activities, which includes free play as well as more structured activities based around different themes which change weekly. He practices his writing, phonics and counting with engaging activities. There is also a huge garden and covered outdoor area, for outside play, which he loves.
Our son enjoys eating at Monika's, and has all his meals there on days he attends. As a vegetarian, he is well catered for and he enjoys the wide and varied menu, and the healthy snacks. He really enjoys the homemade soups for lunch.
Our son always looks forward to going to Monika's and has even asked us to pick him up later on a Friday so he can spend more time with his friends.
He has so many opportunities and input into his development and it is wonderful to see him grow and learn through photographs sent to parents daily, and seeing his collection of works, which are sent home every few weeks. Most recently, our son's reading skills have notably progressed, and he is really eager to practice reading his books, and signs when we are out and about. I have no doubt that a big part of this is the learning he is exposed to through phonics, worksheets, writing practice and group reading time. I am confident that he will be well prepared for reception, when he starts school. We are hoping to get into Deanesfield school, so that he can continue with wrap around care at Monika's.
We are so happy with the care and attention he gets at Monika's and he is so settled and happy, and always looks forward to going to see his friends.
Thank you Monika, Paula, Kasia and Dora for being so amazing!
