Our son went to Sacha when he was 10 month and now, almost 3, still spends half the week with her (now in nursery the other half - we couldn't bear to lose her! She is incredibly loving and dedicated to the development of children she looks after. But even more than that she has been great to work with as a first time parent and supported us as a whole family with a range of issues - notably sleep and other behavioural things that inevitably crop up with toddlers! She gives the children she looks up to a real variety of experiences (they won't get bored) from zoo and museum trips to lots of arty/creative stuff and plenty of fresh air and running around Hampstead Heath. She's a really wonderful and talented person (could have done so many things - teaching, counselling) and quite exceptional. It's a lucky family that gets a place with her.
