I just wanted to shout about Chantal and the creche team, and I hope this gets passed on to them too!
I’ve been bringing my little boy there since he was 16 weeks old, now 30 weeks old.
I am a first-time mom and felt so discombobulated with life and parenthood even though he was going on for 4 months. I had a sign-up/information visit and met Chantal, and I can honestly say that she, her team and the creche overall are 100% the main reason I signed up officially to Horizon. It was between Horizon and another gym, but after visiting the creche, I signed up that day!
Chantal put me at ease and explained how they work with my son to get him used to her team and even just told me that I don’t have to put pressure on myself for if it doesn’t go right at the first couple of weeks’ visits.
Her team is also absolutely lovely! I’m still trying to learn everyone’s name, so I’m very sorry! At every drop-off and pick up, I get greeted with warm faces and kind words. It makes me feel even more comfortable dropping him off. I even feel like he gets sad to leave them to come home now!
I also want to mention the poolside pick up and drop off service as that’s been so helpful too! With my son’s swimming classes, it’s nice that they’ll change him and get him ready while I get ready. Then they’ll pick him up after his lesson and get him dried off and changed back which gives me time to actually shower and get myself ready for the day.
I just want you to know how appreciative I am of the team at the creche. They honestly have changed my life, and that is dramatic but just being able to have a bit more freedom to work on a piece of myself – whether at the gym, swimming or even if it’s a 30-minute slot so I can shower – has been everything to me.
