We’ve had our daughter looked after by Donnette (Aunty) four days a week for over a year now. We’re so happy to now have a place for our baby boy for next year, too. I can’t recommend this setting enough. I have absolute confidence in Donnette and her other staff, Nat and I know when I leave my daughter there that she will get all the love, endless cuddles and also discipline that I would hope for her to get. You can tell that Donnette genuinely loves the children and she appears to be able to work magic on their behaviour. They have the benefits of a small setting in that it’s always the same two people looking after the children (great for consistency and bonding) but they take great effort to put on a structured activity program, too, for their development / learning. They get very healthy, balanced and interesting meals. They help them learn to play independently as well. My daughter’s behaviour is pretty good for a nearly 2 year old and she is always coming home singing and dancing to songs learnt at Safehands. I love it when I notice a Makaton sign/ word/ activity she’s learned there. She always runs into the setting in the morning laughing, looking for Aunty to give her a cuddle. They’re really helping us to raise a happy, confident daughter and I can’t thank them enough.
