We are so very grateful that Alison is our daughter's childminder.

Alison is a wonderful, highly experienced childminder who provides outstanding childcare.

She knows our daughter Alice so well and is very in tune with her development, progress, likes and needs. She has high standards & expects the same high standards of the children, which they rise to (I’ve been out for lunch with Alison and five children under four- and have never seen such well behaved children!)

Alison provides a lovely home from home environment and the children enjoy a variety of fun life experiences together: amongst other things they go to the farm, messy play group, allotment and Alison's house has a wonderful playroom dedicated to the children and a great garden. Alice is so happy and thriving in her care and our son will join the gang in the summer. It is also great to see how the mix of ages get along together and learn from each other. We love to see the photos of their play and adventures. The children also enjoy delicious home-cooked wholesome food and a great routine.

Alison has also been a great support to our family when a new little brother came along, providing advice and helping us to manage the transition for Alice when she became a big sister.

Looking back, the first time I dropped Alice off and went back to work after maternity leave was hard.. but I know the last day that she spends with Alison will be so much harder (for me!).

Thank you Alison.
