My son was with Andrea for almost 3 years right until going to school in September 2015 and during this time Andrea's home became an extension of our own. She has a superb space for the kids with a rear garden converted into an outdoor area for children to play in, full of toys, playhouses etc. To extend the season of outdoor play she had the lawn covered fully in artificial turf so kids stay clean and can enjoy the outside even on wet days.
I have seen over the years how much effort Andrea puts into improving the facilities and acquiring new play equipment for the children, she organises trips, takes children to play centres, farms, parks. My son was always keen to go to Andrea's and made many friends there.
Her family is great too, playing with children and just generally being absolutely lovely.
I want to make a particular mention of the fact that Andrea was fully accommodating of my son's medical requirements. She wasn't put off by catering to his allergies and was superb at providing care during his relapses,
when he required frequent cream applications and antibiotics.
I feel I was really fortunate to find Andrea when she still had spaces and I cannot imagine anyone else helping me raise my son through those all important formative years.
