Home away from home for our son
Our son started at Safehands when he was 10 months old in October 2019 and I went back to work part time. The settling in period was at my son's pace and he had ample time to slowly aclimatise to being in the setting. From day one, we have had zero concerns when dropping him off at the door! Big smiles as he starts the day and we know he is truly loved and cared for when he's there. Big smiles on picking him up too. He eats wonderful home cooked meals (which I believe has contributed to him being a really good eater) and is in a great routine, having his naps and exploring and playing with age appropriate toys and activities. He in encouraged to explore and do things for himself (like take his own shoes off at the door - his new skill!) And his language has really developed. We get updates most days with pictures and videos of all the fun and learning. The other children are his friends and are all really lovely. We are so grateful to have a safe, nurturing and trustworthy home away from home to send our son 4 days a week. The pandemic has been a real challenge this year, but even when childcare was not possible, we were in regular contact and did some facetime activities. Our son was so happy to be back recently! Thank you Safehands for everything :)
