My daughter started with Ivana just after she turned 1. She was only just learning to crawl when she started so very much still a little baby! She’s been attending with Ivana for almost a year and has flourished and thrived into the most confident, bouncy, bubbly, dancing, ABC singing, counting 2 year old.

Ivana not only creates a stable, heartwarming lovely home from home environment, she fills my daughter with happiness and life long learning stepping stones to produce the BEST start in life for children and babies (following the EYFS of course!

She’s child led, which from the constant array of photos I get, she lets my daughter lead her learning and paves the way for my daughter to explore. She has allowed my daughter to expand on her obsession with letters and numbers, craft her way through all of the arts and crafts supplies (sorry!) and has a garden of dreams with lots of water play, an outside park and plenty of space to run around in a secure locked garden.

My daughter loves her animals, the cat and the dog and often referred to at home, and her daughter too!

I observed Ivanna at two different groups she attends with the children before we arranged a visit. She has a great rapport with all the children she looks after, 110% involved in the activities she takes the children to, (which they attend a lot of!)

I provide my daughter with wellies and a Puddlesuit every day, and it always comes back muddy ( a toddlers DREAM)

She gets my daughter to eat things I wouldn’t dream of feeding her at home, but you can always smell the home cooked meals at pick up. Delicious.

Ivana’s flexibility at certain points has been phenomenal. Every child is different and are treated like individuals. The love, care and attentiveness of Ivana’s family is such a heartwarming and cherishing time, since the early years of your child’s life has been proven to be THE MOST important part of their lives, and the affects of these moments will have a lasting affect on my toddler

And I never want her to leave 😭😭
