I had always been apprehensive with the idea of using a childminder as previously I had only ever been familiar with a nursery environment. Having not been able to find the balance between local and a very good nursery I decided to explore the option of a childminder a bit more. From the moment I met Pat, Jayne & Vicky my mind was put at ease. I noticed that even at the settling session, Jack seem to really warm to them and the environment much better than he ever had done before; mind was made up there and then. Jack has been attending Cherished for a few months now and it couldn't be going better. He always talks about Pat and often asks if we can visit during weekend!

I am really pleased with the variety of creative activity throughout the day, and I have noticed how well Jack has come on because of this. I also like the firm but fair and friendly approach and that manners are always encouraged.

All in all very happy parent!
