My son started at Happy Steps when he was 14 months old and settled quickly after a bad experience at a large nursery. The setting is a lovely family environment and really is the best of both worlds - offering the security, care, kindness and individual attention you get from a childminder with the social side and variety of activities of a nursery environment. Kinga really took the time to get to know my child's personality, often tailoring the day to his needs or interests. In just a few months, I was staggered at the leaps my son made in his development. By the age of 2, his confidence and communication skills were very advanced and due to plenty of encouragement from staff, he was fully potty trained in the day. I don't believe he would have got that amount of attention or assistance in a larger setting.

Kinga is extremely qualified and professional, keeping parents well informed on the day as well as providing lots of photos which were always very comforting to look at when I was at the office.
