Both my children (now 8 and 6) spent their early years (from 1 - 3 years)with Sylvia and Richard. I can?t recommend them more highly. They cultivated independence and curiosity in a perfect setting. They have spent a huge amount of time investing in all areas of their space. The outside space and garden is incredible - everything is based around the children. One of the most important aspects for me was to ensure the children felt safe, happy and at home. Sylvia and Richard provided a home from home, with loads of laughs, love and brilliant activities with an emphasis on learning - including skills like feeding themselves. It was extremely sad when we had to leave. We are still in touch and the children still talk about their days with Sylvia and Richard. Happy to be contacted if you have questions.
