Parent Testimonials: "Our son is doing extremely well at school. I think most of it is from the great preparation from the nursery. " - Liina
"I want to emphasise again how happy we were with the basis of knowledge and care Lucas got from your nursery (he's reading already!). You did prepare him really well - in the beginning of school I asked what he does at school and how things are organised, he often kept replying to me by saying 'like in my old nursery', so I think the change for him was very easy." - Laura
"Just a little note to thank everyone at Little Hands for all their love and care with the kids. Liv jumps up in the morning to go to nursery and the smile on her face when I pick her up in the afternoon says it all - will definitely be sending my second daughter there too." - Melissa
