My son has been looked after by Eleanor since the age of 5 months and in that time he has built a very strong attachment to her and the other children.
A few months ago my son was diagnosed with type one diabetes and the support Eleanor has given to us have been irreplaceable. Not only did Eleanor support us as a family before diagnosis but has worked extremely hard since to learn and adapt to caring with a child with this condition. Eleanor has worked with us selflessly giving up some of her own time to ensure that she is safe and confident in continuing to care for our son. Not only is Eleanor a trusted childminder who cares for our child but she has also become the person I can go to for advice and guidance and as a first time mum this is invaluable.
