Our little lad has been going to Trench Tots since he was 7 months (approx), he’s now coming up to 17 months and all the girls do so so much for the children! Tonnes of outside play and visit to local library’s and play grounds, the girls go above and beyond to make fun activities for each age group and our son has had his speak come on rapidly since turning 1! Loads of messy play and sensory stuff, the app they use lets you see so much of what they’re getting up to and it’s just so so reassuring knowing that your child is learning and enjoying themselves with freedom. Health and safety is taken so seriously, immediate updates of illnesses or bugs going round and support for parents with difficult circumstances. We couldn’t ask for anything better, 1000/5 if I could, absolutely amazing!
