After reading a lot of profiles of child minders, my husband and I decided to put our children with Julie. I have to say that I am very pleased with our decision as she is a lovely person who loves our children like an adopted nanny.

Both my children enjoy going to her and are happy to be dropped off each morning. I know this to be true as my eldest is 3 and a half so regulary will give me her opinion on her time with her (plus everything else :-)). She is still happy to go every time so I know she has settled with her.

As both my children previously attended a local nursery I was concerned about the amount of interaction they would have with other children as they were going from a class of 20 plus to a couple of children. I didn't need to worry though as Julie takes them out to other play groups / children centres which has meant that they have continued to get the interaction with different children.

Julie has been flexible with us each time we have needed which has helped us a lot. She is a kind, caring, considerate and protective person who treats my children as if one of her own. As a family, she is an important person to us as she is continuing the care for our children whilst we are not there and I am happy that she will be a part of our family in years to come.

Would definately reccomend Julie to anyone who is wanting to find childcare.
