I went back to work when my little boy was one, then six weeks later our first childminder told us she was taking another job. It was stressful at the time but I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. It meant we got to meet Yvonne.

Yvonne is an incredible childminder. My son has been enjoying his days with her for almost two years now. We’ve never had a problem at drop-off – he just walks right in and makes himself at home in her lovely home. And at pick-up he loves to tell me about all the fun he’s had with his friends, including Yvonne’s own boys.

We get lots of updates on Whatsapp and in a daily written diary. You can just tell from the photos that the children really enjoy their adventures with Yvonne. She cares a great deal about their development, helping them learn through play, so we’ve decided our son will keep attending her setting until he goes to school.

If you’re looking for a childminder, I highly recommend Yvonne.
