It's hard to express in a few sentences what Leah has done for our son and our family. He has severe separation anxiety and the first few months were so hard for all of us. But Leah handled it with the calmness, kindness and compassion she does everything. I honestly believe I'd have had to give up work if we had sent our son anywhere but to Leah's.

In the two years he's been there, he's blossomed into a happy member of the Leah's Littluns family. The activities and education she provides are second to none, and we get daily videos and photos of him laughing and having fun. We have lots of friends who send their children to 'outstanding' nurseries and they can't believe the stuff our son does with Leah.

Our son does have some challenges and it is down to Leah that these have been picked up so early. She has been so professional and empathic in dealing with it. When our health visitor spoke to Leah about our son she said in all her many years working with early years practitioners she'd never met one like Leah and that we were very lucky!

Above all, we know that whatever Leah does, the welfare and happiness of our son - and the other children she looks after - is her number one priority. We're so glad that we found her!
