A big thank you, to all the staff of Hepzibah Day Nursery for their support, encouragement and patience. My son was none verbal when he join last year December. He has only spend 6months at the nursery and his communication skills have greatly improved. The support provided by the social worker through the nursery is phenomenal. Everyone is ready to support my son all through the journey and I am so grateful. I am really happy and I truly appreciate their support so far. Can’t wait for the baby also to join as the nursery has become part of our family.
