Not a day goes by that my husband and I don't feel grateful that we managed to get a place at Eileen's setting for our daughter. Eileen and her team are caring, kind and have infinite patience with not only the children but also us parents! Eileen and Amy always have time for a quick chat at the start and end of the day and the daily photos show the varied and exciting activities our daughter gets up to. It's deeply reassuring to know how happy all the children are and see the blossoming relationships they have with each other - it's given our daughter a real home from home to grow up in. Eileen does so much more than serve delicious home cooked food, issue a weekly newsletter and send colourful crafts home to adorn our walls (if that wasn't already enough!). Hosting an annual summer picnic and Christmas party really adds to how she goes above and beyond to make us feel part of a community.

I could go on about how wonderful Eileen and her team are forever, but the absolute best benchmark for me is that every single morning without fail our daughter launches herself into Eileen's arms - chattering and smiling away, too excited to be there to bother to say goodbye to us! I'm not sure if you truly want much more than that!
