Ali has cared for my youngest daughter, Kiki, for the past two years and I can't say enough positive things about her care. I would and have recommended Ali in a heartbeat. I am a mum of three and if I had my time again my older two children would be cared for by Ali too as opposed to attending a nursery setting.

Kiki has thrived with Ali and I can see a considerable difference in her knowledge of letters, counting, phonics and articulation compared to when my older children were due to start school. Ali plans such fun days for the children in her care, if it’s not creative arts it’s fun day trips out to Newlands Corner, Wood walks, Garden Centres or little soft plays. Or fun in her beautiful large back garden. The variety of activities are great, my middle daughter often says she’s jealous of Kiki's days with Ali!

Ali is super patient and was extremely supportive in potty training, nap changes and improving Kiki's social skills after lockdown dented her confidence a little.

Ali offers plenty of flexibility, clear communication and above else is nurturing and friendly.

I am genuinely sad to be saying goodbye in July as Kiki starts school in September.
