Going back to work after maternity leave was so difficult but the moment I met both Gigi and Ioana I knew the one thing I didn’t have to worry about was leaving my daughter in their care. They have created a loving, supportive and stimulating environment which clearly comes from years of experience and a genuine passion for their job.

The playroom is spacious and filled to the brim with activities and a safe place to play. It opens directly into the garden which is especially great in the summer, allowing the children space to be outside and explore. One element that I had underestimated, but that has been so incredible, is that they provide messy-play clothes for the children to wear while they are there. This means that I can drop my daughter off without having to worry about packing spare items of clothes and it takes some of the never ending laundry off of my plate!

Gigi and Ioana also send daily updates which include pictures and what they have been up to which has quickly become one of my favourite times of day. I always enjoy hearing about the amazing meals that Ioana prepares which has undoubtedly helped with my daughter’s ease at exploring different flavours and textures with foods.

My daughter loves them just as much as they clearly love her, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found them!
