Ben's Reviews

Simply the best

When my son was 12 months old I was looking for childcare and asked my neighbour by chance who she was using. She said that she LOVED her childcare, which you never hear, and put me in touch with Ben. I can't express how grateful I am for that moment, because Ben has provided the ideal environment for my son. Ben's looked after my son from when he was 14 months to now, he is nearly 3 years old, and he does the most wonderful job. He's caring, committed to and clearly really engaged with the philosophy of early child development, and genuinely kind of a toddler whisperer. He's helped us through potty training, colour recognition, diet, everything. I just can't praise Ben's work highly enough. I think he's kind of a toddler whisperer. The kids under his care play so nicely together, and they are all exceptionally verbal and advanced on their milestones. He takes the kids on carefully thought through outings, changing the schedule just enough to keep some regularity but also a bit of surprise. He cooks with the boys and makes them fresh and healthy food every day. He gives us at least two written updates a day complete with photographs. He is just amazing. I regularly thank my neighbour for recommending Ben.

As good as they come

Ben has looked after our son from when he was about 18 months old until just over 3 years and we regard him as formative to our son’s development. We owe our 3 year old’s confidence, chatty and adventurous nature to Ben, who has encouraged him and played to his strengths in all areas. The children have so much fun while also being stimulated to learn (numbers, putting on their clothes, sharing and negotiating with each other) and develop their own independence. We also really appreciate the amount of time they spend outdoors and with Ben’s own children who share their love of the garden with the children in Ben’s care. The thought that goes into the activities each day can be seen in the photos we regularly receive and the updates we get throughout the day. We cannot recommend Ben highly enough!
