My son has been at Ashley’s since he’s 12 months old (he’s 17 months now) and we couldn’t have made a better choice. The settling in was gentle, we were able to come for several settling in sessions not just the 1-2 days offered most of the other childminders and nurseries we looked at. The setting a warm, welcoming family home with a great garden, but it’s a also like a small nursery in that there are two assistants working with Ashley (they are always the same, Isin and Uzlum) and they have a really worked out theme each week with a range of activities, rhyme time and outings planned for each day. The daily outings to the zoo, city farms, parks, playgrounds and playgroups are fantastic for the kids. The meals are nutritious and my son loves the food, routinely eating double portions.
He runs to the frontdoor each morning, excited to see Ashley, Isin and his baby friends, and comes back happy.
