From day one I knew my little boy (age 2 when he started with Lucia) would be happy at Lucia's. Her setting has the space and resources of a nursery with the warmth of a family home.
Very quickly my little boy settled well, happily going to Lucia 2 days per week. On the few occasions he had a wobble, just one cuddle with her would calm him down and I always left feeling reassured. He bonded so well, not only with Lucia but also her two boys and her husband who were always so kind.

My son was not a very consistent eater at home but always ate brilliantly with Lucia - especially her vegetable soup with noodles! He always napped easily with her too despite struggling at home.

Lucia's communication was fantastic. She gave me a verbal update at the end of each day, as well as updates and photos on Tapestry. Her invoicing was incredibly clear and she would get back to me very fast if I had questions or needed to make changes.

I cannot recommend Lucia highly enough. Her care couldn't have been a better start away from me for my little boy. He has now started school nursery very easily with lots of confidence and I've no doubt I have Lucia to thank for that.
