They are a family of three. Mum is Turkish and Dad is Scottish therefore their son is going to be a bilingual child. He will be just over one year old when childcare begins. He has never been separated from Mum for any extended periods before, so finding someone who understands attachment, separation anxiety, and gentle transitions is very important.
He is a very active, curious, and energetic little boy who loves exploring his surroundings. They spend a lot of time reading books together, singing songs, going on walks, and engaging in play that follows their son’s interests and curiosity. They are therefore looking for someone who shares this approach and can provide a caring environment that supports his emotional wellbeing and development. Someone who can keep up with him physically, engage him in age-appropriate play and activities, and provide a warm, responsive, and nurturing environment.
