Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your review, and I am sorry to hear of some of the negatives that you have experienced. We strive to make things right, and I know the managers have reached out to you so that this can be discussed further.<br>Regarding the mothers/fathers day cards, valentines etc, we are guided by the care Inspectorates to encourage child lead planning and are advised not to follow the traditions of years ago. As a mother, not just the owner, I don't always agree with new legislations, however, that is sadly the way of the early years sector at the moment, and we can where possible try and introduce children to these activities. <br>Regarding the garden, whilst the children love it, I do agree about the mud. We currently have an outdoor classroom in the plans for the garden, and I had hoped to be further on with this than we are, so we are considering barking the area in the short term.  <br>Thank you again. Sharon Director
