What our customers say about us.

Here`s what people are saying:  about Subtitle:

Nadine has been a tremendous educator, caregiver and friend to my son and I throughout his early childhood and into his young life. 

Firstly and most importantly, Nadine has an amazing way with children. Her skills as an educator and caregiver are second to none and I felt completely at ease leaving my son in her care. In his early life, he found speech challenging. Nadine made an enormous impact in this regard and her guidance saw him improve in his ability to communicate, read and write. This led to many teachers commenting about how advanced he was for his age when he first entered schooling. 

To this day she maintains a wonderful relationship with us as a family and my son still lights up with joy when in her presence. She has a consistently warm and welcoming presence and beaming smile, something that puts both parents and children at ease. 

Nadine's care also extended beyond my son and onto me personally during a challenging period in my life. Having fallen pregnant with another child I was finding certain commitments difficult to maintain. Nadine was truly a savior in those difficult times, and always went beyond expectation to ensure my son's development and progress never slipped behind. She only wanted the best for my child and that is something that overwhelms me to this day. 

Childcare should be about fostering a relationship between parents, caregivers and children. I can speak first hand to the exceptional educational expertise that Nadine demonstrates and her kind way with children. However more importantly than that, I can proudly endorse Nadine's quality of character. Her presence has been a key part of my child's early life and continues to be cherished to this very day. I give her the highest recommendation as a person, educator and friend.

Parent of Donte aged 6

Nadine was an Early Years Educator for our two children now seven years ago at a key period in our children's young lives. We found Nadine stood out from other carers because she had a rare balance between having a high energy positive spirit, as well as discipline and sincere consideration for our children's welfare. We always left knowing that the kids were in exceptionally safe hands, as well as enjoying themselves with all tasks even when learning new skills. Amongst Nadine's talents is her ability to relate to each child at a personal level and bring the best out in them by engaging them in this way. This gave a great foundation to our children's future learning and high level of welfare. We could not recommend a better personal carer for your children. 

They still remembers her fondly, this was the positive impact she made upon them.

How will this service impact on your business?

 I am very satisfied with Nadine’s service. Nadines involvement and strategies made a vast difference to the way I work. I feel more confident in following my day to day routine through her recommended methods. She has polished my knowledge into Development Matters which has helped me perform observations correctly. Set up looks more organised, neat and an enabling environment. Resources are easily accessible and this way Children seem to enjoy every resource and are more involved in their play.
