What families say
A few words from families we care for, shared with their kind permission. Some have asked to stay anonymous, and we've removed anything that could identify a child. We'd also be glad to provide references on request — just get in touch.
What stands out most is the genuine care they have for every child. Our son is not simply looked after — he is truly known, supported and encouraged as an individual. As parents, there is no better feeling than knowing your child is safe, happy and thriving in the care of people you completely trust. We honestly would not ask for a better setting for him and would highly recommend Anna and Richard to any family. Their dedication, care and passion for what they do is clear in every aspect of their environment.

From the first time we met them both, it was clear how much care and dedication they have to children and their development. We have regular updates from both Anna and Richard detailing what activities the children have been doing. It is always made clear to us as parents that the activities are purposely chosen to help aid the children through different milestones. For example, recently the children were having fun with vertical painting, and Anna and Richard explained to us in detail how this strengthens core muscles and encourages proper wrist extension for handwriting, along with helping with spatial awareness.

Our son had never spent the day away from us before, so we were nervous about how he'd settle in. Anna and Richard organised several settling-in sessions, including coming to our house to bond with him and see him in his home environment. He took to them both straight away — their calm and confident presence and wonderful home has helped him settle in straight away. He is so excited to see them in the mornings, and he "chats" the whole way home, as if to tell us all about his day.

Recently I had a small concern about my son. I raised it with Anna and Richard to see whether they had noticed anything, and they were brilliant — practical, reassuring, and happy to keep a close eye on him. They later flagged something they had spotted that I hadn't, which prompted me to see our doctor. Anna and Richard truly go above and beyond in the care and support they provide.
