Both of my children were ‘full time’ at Andrea’s from the age of one until nearly school age ( and my youngest is still there). I was looking for a home from home environment, and as soon as I met Andrea and saw her setting I felt that she was a very lucky find.
Andrea really cares for the children, and takes her role very seriously in supporting their well-being and development. She has a lovely playroom and garden, and the children spend lots of time playing outside when the weather is good, which I really like. They also go out most days to playgrounds or soft play or to feed the ducks which gives lots of variety and exercise. Andrea is always thinking of new places to go or activities to do - we get lots of pictures and crafts coming home. There is also lots of reading and learning which really helped set up my elder child for school.
I pay a little extra for lunch and dinner and Andrea provides a much greater variety of food than I do at home (!) and the children are encouraged to try new things, if they want to. And to learn independence with eating and drinking.
We always look forward to our daily What’s App update with lots of photos each day of what they get up to.
My daughters have very different temperaments and their individuality and routines have been met really well and seemingly effortlessly. Both of them have really loved Andrea’s and have thrived there.
