‘Also really like using the Tapestry online journal. It’s so lovely to see what she is getting up to and her progress. Thank you for providing such a lovely, fun, safe and happy environment for my daughter.’
Parent 2019.4b
‘We are so happy with Barbara Rose. Being my first child, I felt a little nervous, letting her go into the big world without me there. I have felt so at ease and comfortable knowing she is so happy there and looks forward to going.’
Parent 2019.4a
Staff are incredible and should get credit for how amazing they are! The settling in day is perfect to enable the transition.
Parent 2019.3
He loves telling me that he has been dancing and playing outside. He has been singing a lot too. He was reluctant at first to be separated from me. But the support we both received was so amazing, all the staff were incredible during this stressful time.
Parent 2019.2
My daughter loves when the climbing frame is out. She tells me what she has learned and done during the day and is a happy child when collected.
