When we were looking for a nursery setting/full time child care for our son, my husband and I explored many different nurseries and childminders. Our first visit to Kay and her team was incredible. Not only did we find ourselves very much at home, but the love and attention from the other children at Kay's also made our son feel very much at home. The older children demonstrated their ability to socialise and interact with children of a younger age and children of a similar age bonded very quickly. It was just like an extended family. The settling in period was well thought out and I was confident about leaving my son in Kay and her team's capable hands. When our second son arrived, we had no hesitation in choosing Kay and her team.

Throughout our sons' time at Kay's, communication was without a doubt incredible. Every step of our sons' development was photographed and documented so thoroughly. We received daily reports of what our sons had eaten, the different activities they had taken part in and how their language had developed. There were also helpful activities that were suggested to us to support our sons at home and continue with the great work that Kay and her team did during the day.

One of the highlights of our sons' time at Kay's was the food. Each day, the food was freshly prepared and offered a wide variety throughout the week. The breadth of activities was another huge highlight. Being boys, they loved being outside, whatever the weather. No matter what activities our sons took part in during the day, their clothes were never dirty. Kay would either change the children before taking part in 'messy' activities or supply overalls to protect their clothes.

Above all, my boys, now aged 7 and 11 have fond memories of their time at Kay's and have kept in touch with the children they 'grew up' with and are their oldest friends. The most important and long lasting legacy is that of the values that Kay and her team have instilled in the boys. These have helped to shape them into the kind and caring young men they are today.
