HELEN, PETER AND JACK
When we first started looking for Nurseries for Jack, there was quite an overwhelming choice in the Jumeirah/Umm Sequiem area. Ladybird was the 3rd Nursery that I visited and right from the initial communication with Mel, I strongly felt that Jack (and I)! would be in safe hands. In fact, after our introductory visit to Ladybird, Jack said “ happy children” completely voluntarily as we got back into the car.
As he started his first few days, any worries I had about Jack settling in completely vanished. I was particularly impressed with Ladybird’s settling-in policy which is tailored to suit each family and child, it was incredibly reassuring to know that we wouldn’t be leaving Jack until we were 100{5c8414325401ff168998cf0111bbe3e55d579e0583b9e8569c16ec54ff8d63d5} confident that he had happily settled.
The class size are such that the children get really positive 1:1 interactions with the teachers, but they’re not so small so as to discourage the very important part of group interaction and developing their social skills. Jack’s made some great friends over the last year.
Miss Hayley and her team have encouraged an open door policy and any time that I’ve had a query or concern they have been very responsive. This excellent communication extends to the core team of Miss Priscilla, Sarah and Mel who despite busy schedules, always have time to help. And I can’t leave without mentioning Mr Kumar, the security guard, who is always unfailing cheerful. Miss Hayley and the whole of the blue class team have also been exceptional at letting us know of any changes they’re noticed in Jack – be it noticing a particular interest in a certain activity, a health concern, and even some very sage advice about tackling certain behavioural issues! You are left with no doubt that they genuinely understand and care for your child.
We’d like to thank the whole Ladybird Team for a fun, rewarding, compassionate and happy year for Jack in the Blue Class.
Helen, Peter and Jack
