I sent my 13 month old son to nursery when I returned to work following my maternity leave and he attended three days a week. Despite him being miserable every time I collected him, I persevered for over four weeks, thinking that it was just a case of him struggling to adjust to having not been apart from me for a year and friends assured me that things would get easier for us both. The final straw came last week when the nursery called me to say that he just would not settle and I walked out of my job thinking I might have to give up work because I could not bear the guilt of leaving him there every morning. The numerous positive reviews on this site led me to contact Annette and straight away, I felt that she understood my struggle and we arranged to meet her, Eddie and their lovely children at their home on Sunday. We were sold immediately and my little boy had his first day with Annette and Eddie today. I cannot believe the change in him! He was so happy and content and was actually upset to be leaving! I had lots of updates and photos of him having an absolute whale of a time as well as a lovely picture with his little handprints and I can finally sleep tonight knowing that I will not have to dread the drop-off anymore. I cannot thank them enough for giving us hope!
