My husband and I count ourselves lucky to have found Becca and her team of excellent assistants (one of whom helps out with babysitting when we need a night off which is a complete bonus as our son absolutely adores her!). We’ve been really pleased with how quickly he settled in with Becca. He was only 9 months old when he started and being first-time parents we found the crying at drop-offs and pick-ups really difficult but Becca was so patient and understanding, providing us with helpful tips and regular photo updates in those early weeks in our private WhatsApp group to reassure us that he was getting on just fine. She also allayed any lingering feelings of mummy guilt that I had in the beginning as well, as I soon learned just how much our son was getting out of his day (e.g. freshly made meals, a variety of activities, different play groups every day, learning about nature, looking after animals, etc.). Becca uses an online tool for recording my son's daily updates (much preferred to a hardcopy book) and any developmental milestones (with accompanying photos) which I eagerly look forward to receiving in my inbox every evening (and forwarding on to equally eager grandparents!). Our son has picked up so many good habits there, e.g. using cutlery, finally saying please and thank you(!), helping out with chores, developing his language, etc. It has been a real pleasure to see how he has flourished there, growing into an independent, self-assured little 2 year old boy who has developed some heart-warmingly strong bonds not just with his carers but with the other children there (fondly talking about them all at home). I’m dreading the day when it’ll finally be time to move on from Becca and the gang for good!
