Our son started going to Simona for two days a week when he was 8 months old. He is now 19 months and goes for three days a week. He absolutely adores Simona, as do we! Although he can be clingy with me at home, our son never minds leaving me when he is going to Simona - in fact he runs away from me happily the moment i drop him off at the door and is always in a great mood when I pick him up again.

Simona keeps us regularly updated throughout the day with pictures of what they are getting up to. She prepares creative and imaginative activities, which are stimulating, fun and educational for the children. I love finding the drawings/artwork in our son's bag at the end of each day! She prepares fresh, healthy meals so I know our son is eating well.

It was such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and loving to look after our son while my husband and I are working (we are both professional classical musicians) - we couldn't have asked for more and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Simona most highly.
