Our daughter, Betsy has been cared for by Nina from the age of 1 and she absolutely LOVES spending her days there. Betsy just strolls straight in when dropped off and is always happy when collected. We were anxious like lots of parents when returning to work, but Nina was extremely reassuring, nurturing and communicated so well.

Nina always has lovely activities and play setups for the children, centered around learning through play. Her resources are excellent, inclusive and inviting, so much so, we often ask for tips of how to use similar setups at home!

As well as wonderful indoor activities, she has a lovely garden, full of fun things to play with and a very cute wooden playhouse, which the children all seem to love. The children also visit an allotment with Nina where they learn all about nature, caring for the environment, see the cute chickens and play with the outdoor resources they have there (Betsy really loves this!)

Nina has a helpful communication book which let's us know what Betsy has done for the day, how she's been, what she's eaten and how she slept. This is so handy and also lovely to hear details of how she's spent her time. It helps us have conversations with her about her day.

I cannot recommend Nina enough. I feel so relieved that we found her and that Betsy spends her days in such a nurturing, fun and educational environment. It's hard leaving your child in the hands of someone else, but Betsy is so happy, her development since being there has been great and as parents, we are extremely happy and thankful.
