With my profression being in a nursery setting itself finding childcare for my son was stressful. Then we came across this lovely profile and myself and my husband were left very intrigued to find out more.

Aunty D was easy to contact and answered all our queries. It was easy to arrange a interview and a show around her enviornment. She made us feel so at ease understood our concerns and anxiety, she sees it all the time and knew exactly how to deal with it. We knew from that meeting she was the best person to take care of our son.

The settling process was nerve wracking but she took it in our stride so we were comfortable. But thankfully on the first day our then 11 month old son couldnt wait to see the back of me and was pretty much closing the door as he was waving bye. In my childcare experience this is always a good sign so really left me at ease from a parent perspective. What was lovely was Aunty D arranged the settling around the time frame I had left before I went back to work so it started gradually but at my sons pace and it turned out he was very resilient and coped well being away from us. This made me settling back to work so much easier as I found myself not worrying about how our son was doing. Aunty D sent photos and videos throughout the day and I could see he generally was a happy chappy.

As mentioned previously our son has been attending Safehands since he was 11 months old. He has loved every day being there with all the fun activities and learning Aunty D sets up every day. She kept us parents in the loop with the learning plans and what the children will be focusing on. The group chat with the other parents is so fun as we receive videos and photos of the children playing together and its always a great way to see what they are up to. It also has formed good relationships with the other parents too.

Im always left very surprised with my sons progress and wisdom, he is such a fun loving boy with such a happy personality and although they say thats good parenting, I really do think it is the influence of the childcare setting around him. Aunty D is such a warm, happy, person and has the biggest heart her morals, mannerisms rubs off on the children.

Unfortunately, we have had to move out of the area due to the ridiculous house prices we couldnt afford to buy around the area. As parents we wanted our son to stay with his friends and with Aunty D. We travelled everyday in the morning and evening for an hour sometimes over an hour but it didnt work for us as a family. We have had to leave Safehands and I have to tell you this was not the easiest decision to make because the care we receive as a family is first class. Our son is 3 years old now and has transitioned into a new childcare environment with so much confidence and with so much support from Aunty D. He is now in a nursery environment and Aunty D has prepared him for that transition and made it a breeze for our son to settle. The staff at the nursery are very impressed with his progress in his learning, how well he socialises with other children and adults and his independence.

So parents if you are looking for First class childcare I truly recommend Safehands. You wont be disappointed with the nurturing, stimulating, welcoming love and care your child will receive more importantly with what you will receive as a family.
