Parent Feedback

• We are the parents of Olungaka who attends crèche at Uthando Day Care. We hereby share our heartfelt opinion regarding our son’s crèche. We find Uthando Day Care very good for the development and foundation phase of children. They are also great at preparing them for entering school. When Olungaka started at Uthando Day Care, he was still very little and only spoke his home language which is isiXhosa. In less than 6 months we noticed that he was fluent in basic English and was starting to learn Afrikaans. Now that he has been with them for a while, he is fluent in Afrikaans as well and we can safely say he has learnt to be multilingual. We also acknowledge the fact that this crèche’s environment is friendly, accommodating and enjoyable to the extent that our child always looks forward to going to crèche. We appreciate it so much.
• I am Sondisiwe Ndingani, mother of Usirnele Ndingani, who is now 2 years and 6 months old and has been attending Uthando Day Care since she was 1 year old. The reason she’s still there, is because of the quality of work that this crèche delivers to the kids. It’s amazing; from academic to health. I say this, because my daughter’s speech matches up with 4-year-olds and weight wise her growth is very good. I’m sure they’ve got the perfect diet/meals. The relationship the teachers build with the kids, is amazing, because my child is always excited about going to crèche and enjoys telling me about the lessons (that’s where I get to hear her pronouncing words that would surprise me for her age). Lately, since January this year, I haven’t been working; so, things have been difficult financially, but to my surprise, Mrs. Figland, the principle, told me straight up that I should never keep the child at home due to the financial difficulty that I’m facing now. My child is attending like any other. I sometimes send her without formula milk, some days without fruit or snacks or wet wipes, but she never lacks because she would still brag to me about given these things even though I know as a parent she didn’t have. They go as far as washing their clothes if they mess on them. That for me is how they are going beyond the call of duty. She’s still the very happy child that she was when I was paying and I am forever grateful to Mrs. Figland and her team. If it was not for Uthando Day Care, I wouldn’t have the sanity that I have because they came through for me big time.
• Uthando Day Care is a safe haven for our kids, Nqubile, Donny and Danny. They are attending this crèche everyday under safe watching care of good teachers that are teaching our children to read, write and count. They are also provided with healthy meals every day and when they come home from the crèche, they don’t want to eat because they are still full from the meals they got at the crèche. They teach them the way to talk, the way to eat, the way to write, to draw and how to play with other kids. I’m happy for my kids for attending the school. Uthando Day Care is a good place for our children. Please, keep up with the good work. Well done!
