HELLO BEAUTY!

This little neutral beauty went out to a lucky lady in celebration of love on St Valentine’s Day yesterday. A bespoke design.

Everyday is a celebration of love right ? And in many different forms. Love is great ! The love of a loved one, a friendship love, a pet love, the love of yourself , maybe even your car(!!) it’s all good!

However, Valentine’s Day can be really tricky for a lot of people. I remember one year, after a raw breakup, writing numerous messages of love to accompany romantic blooms was SUPER tough, but we move, we love and we most importantly are kind to one another, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without experiencing different kinds of love.

✌🏼🤎 ❤️

Mummy’s and daddy’s of Exeter and surrounding areas !! Check this out… a new childcare plot coming to the beautiful Winslade Park February 2022!!!

ECHOES CHILDCARE @ WINSLADE PARK
Pending February 2022

We are beyond excited to finally be able to share our news with you…

‘Echoes Childcare’ is expanding!!!

Over the last 7 years we have worked so very hard to open and develop a nursery that we would feel confident enough to send our own children to. As a parent knowing your child is in safe hands, well supported and is being offered fantastic learning opportunities in order for them to flourish and reach their full potential is priceless.

We are extremely grateful for our wonderful team who have worked tirelessly with us to help us realise our dream and have enabled us to create our primary setting in Broadclyst, which has a great reputation and is full to capacity. We are an established business and a recognised brand within the city of Exeter that stands for high-quality and professional childcare with that friendly, family feel.

We have waited patiently for the right opportunity to come along to expand ‘Echoes’, ensuring that we are able to continue providing every child with an opportunity for an excellent start. We wanted our next premises to be close to our Broadclyst nursery to maintain a close family connection and equality of care.

Our new setting will extend our services to cover the following areas: Clyst St Mary, Exmouth, Topsham, Sidmouth, Woodbury, and beyond and is only a 10-minute drive from the village of Broadclyst and Cranbrook.

Our second nursery is situated at the beautiful Winslade park, nestled in over 85 acres of glorious parkland. Both our settings have the opportunity to take some time away from the business of the world whereby we are able to explore the peaceful nature walks surrounding us.

It is a true privilege to be working within the Winslade community and celebrate the fact that we share very similar aims, to provide excellent customer service, pay attention to detail, go above and beyond what is expected and support a good work life balance. These 4 core principles have served us well throughout our Echoes journey so far.

It is such an exciting time for us all and we are thrilled to be taking you on this journey so that you too can watch the transformation of the building being turned into another magical space where children will be nurtured and families feel at ease whilst their knowing children are being well looked after.

If you would like to be on our priority listing for a childcare space at our new expansion at Winslade, please pop onto our website where we have a childcare enquiry form you can complete.

Feel free to share this post for anyone looking for childcare in 2022 and thank you for your continued support!

Jo, Michele, Richard and the Echoes Team 🐛🦋

Sharing a beautiful snap of one of our lovely couples Becci & Tim who wed at the beautiful Bridwell Park Estate] a few weeks back now!

It’s such a pleasure to work with such lovely humans including the other suppliers! It’s so exciting seeing the pro shots of our couples’ wedding days as we don’t tend to see the full picture as all florals are delivered a few hours before the ceremony!
