It's almost a year since my daughter started going to Linda, James and Kerry and I am so glad she did. What grabbed my attention was the outdoor provision. Linda's family have a lovely spacious garden that is set up with the appropriate resources for the children's development and learning. They also have opportunities for going out and this was an important aspect for me as part of my daughter's care.
My favourite part of my working day is opening my email and seeing my daughter's day sheet (and obviously seeing my daughter smiling and laughing at the end of the day). Linda, James and Kerry provide us with a day sheet which shares all the activities that the children take part in. This enables me to have chats with my daughter about her day and share her experiences with her, especially because she is only two.
As a first time mum I have always been anxious of leaving my daughter with anyone. In fact, the only other people she has stayed with is my parents and no-one else! Linda, James and Kerry have been fantastic with my daughter and I feel at ease and know that my daughter is safe. The family are amazing at communicating and there are always opportunities to have a chat about any concerns which is important for any parent.
Thank you so much for all that you do! We are so happy with the provision that you give and have seen L develop so much!

My daughter had the best time with Linda, James and Kerry.
It was like an extended family for my daughter, so caring, nurturing and really flexible.
I was very emotional when my daughter had to leave to start reception!
If your child is lucky enough to get a place they will be very privileged 😊

Linda, James and Kerry are outstanding childcare providers.
My son started with them when he was just over a year old. He attended with my niece who is 3 months older.
They had previously been to a Sure Start nursery who who their funding withdrawn and my sister and I couldn't afford the huge increase in fees.
The children had had a great start at the nursery and we didn't think that could be improved.
I was impressed from the moment I walked in and spoke with Linda and James and as their facilities.
Their home is set up like a nursery with the tables and school type chairs.
They have many years experience between them and it really was like an extended family.
My sister and I didn't require the pick up/drop off service however it was used by all the other parents and started at 7am!
The 'outdoor life' which my son and niece experienced was absolutely fantastic and my family and are feel that we are so very very lucky for our son and niece to have had such experiences in their young lives.
The trips that the children get to go on are very stimulating and give them excellent learning experiences.
They also have an annual family outing which is wonderful for all.
Their development was amazing and people were always commenting on how advanced and independent they were for their age. We always attribute it to them going to 'Linda's!
My son started school nursery in September 2017 (He was 3 in the August - My niece still goes to Linda's). I was sad for him to be leaving and this was the same for my 20 year old son who said "What Mum is he not going to Linda's anymore".....he said was sad about It.
Oh I forgot to mention that Linda's fees were very reasonable and exceptional value for money!
It was very emotional to know that he wouldn't be going to Linda's anymore:-(.
Since my son hasn't been to Linda's I have recommended her to many other parents, and will continue to do so.
Thank you Linda, James & Kerry for everything you've done for and with 'Little James.:-)

My little one has been looked after by Linda, James and Kerry for almost 3 years now. Their service is first class. I noticed his development in all aspect of the foundation stages and he always has an interesting story to tell about his adventures there. My daily (and now weekly) reports with pictures are the perfect keepsake and allow us to really take stock of how he has grown over these few short years.
They helped him to transition into pre-school, and help us to maintain a balance of respect and recognition of boundaries. He has been out on trips to many interesting places, and has made some great friends. I was so worried about who I would have to hand over my son to, i spent a lot of time searching. I am more than confident that we made the right choice for our peace of mind, and our son's best interests.
Great family environment, safe, fun, reliable... So many more great adjectives, but I'll stop to keep things concise!
