Meera, our daughter was around 19month when she started with Allen. On the first day she got in the car with no trouble and absolutely no tears. As we haven't got a vehicle they offer pickups and drop offs for a quite reasonable price.
Every day she returned very happy. She really bonded with her childminder and gave him lots of cuddles when saying goodbye at the end of the session.
We received pictures and updates throughout every day. They were always out and about in playgrounds and soft plays. Meera is very active so it was a good match.
