Love & Positivity to Children & Their Families

Reviewed

What would we do without Barbara?! We are an on-the-go family that has been given so much love and support from Barbara and her staff. Each person in her team is an integral member of the at-home nursery and has such love for the children.
Barbara calls us a family - which is a term that I am mindful on how it's used. Barbara wants all of us to know that we are all in the mix together - learning and loving our children and doing our very best. We, parents, all know each other, celebrate Birthdays and do our very best to be a part of the wonderful community Barbara has created. From my own experience, I have seen more than one child excel and grow remarkably under Barbara's care. It's really like no other place I've ever been to - it's warm, inviting and positive to all that walk through her door.
We meet Barbara through Childcare.co.uk, and went through a very positive, mutually exclusive interview experience, which included a drop-in day for our child to meet the team and explore the lovely at-home nursery.
Barbara goes the extra mile to provide the children a healthy, fun environment with nutritious food. She has the ability to identify your child's creativity and hidden talents. Each day, she and her staff write down how your child's day progressed and often, they send pictures and videos to the parent or parents. (It brightens my day, I must admit!)
I think what anyone would see in Barbara is her determination to be positive and to promote positivity at home with your child, as well. Our child has grown immensely and is always excited to go to Barbara’s nursery. We call it a nursery, as it is a very happy, stimulating place where my child learns and loves to play with the other children.
Barbara is a keen observer about your child's interactions and is always honest and upfront about our child's development, growth and ability to play and interact within the nursery environment.
One could say that Barbara has raised a village, and we are so very thankful to be included in such a great, open-minded family.
