My son and daughter have been with Pat and Garnett for 18 months now. It is so difficult to find someone to trust with the care of your children and I struggled to find someone at first, and then I met Pat and Garnett (they were recommended).
From the moment I first met them, their warmth and shining personalities convinced me I had found the perfect place. Both Pat and Garnett genuinely love their job (which they take very seriously - this is not "something on the side" for them but a professional career) and the children in their care. My kids didn't have any problems settling in as they were so busy and excited from day one. They do everything from reading to outings, playing music, dressing up, crafts... They go out every day to parks, play groups, animal centres, activities, ... My children come home exhausted and full of stories of a fun day (and often don't eat dinner as they are so well fed by Pat and Garnet with homemade food, fruit, yoghurt etc). Both my kids could sing the whole alphabet song and count to 10 by age 2, and that is solely due to their time there!
I love dropping them off (and always stop for a quick chat about the kids) as I know they will have a good day and be safe, so I can do my work guilt free and with a calm mind. This couple is a golden one-off find.
