Friend as well as childminder
Good doesn't really describe how special Donna is. Grace felt like she was home from home and part of the family not just a child in her care.
Donna is calm, patient, organised, friendly and welcoming and that starts with the parents as well as the children. There are times as a working mum that you can feel stretched in so many directions yet the care Donna provides gives you the strength to keep going because as well as caring for your child like one of her own she will give you the reassurance and support you need to calm you down and let you carry on. Donna teaches the children that there are rules and discipline in her home and I think that is so important as throughout life there are rules to be obeyed. Grace couldn't wait to go on a morning and didn't want to leave on a night and all the children were like this.
Her husband and children are special to as it is a family welcome and a family environment you enter not just childcare. It was sad when we moved as I felt I was losing a friend and an ally not just a childminder. I have had several childminders over the years and Donna comes with the highest recommendation. Your child will be in safe hands.
