Elaine cares for my son who is 3 years old, we contacted Elaine as we were looking for a childminder who would be able to start his integration with other children his age as well as time away from us as he prepared for Nursery. Our experience has surpassed all of my expectations. Our son has thrived whilst being with Elaine each week, his vocabulary has improved, he’s so much more independent and building such strong attachment with Elaine and some of the other children. Every week there are new activities, days out during the summer holidays each week, painting, outdoor play, woodland walks as well as indoor days in Elaine’s warm and welcoming home. Elaine provides such good communication with me and amazing feedback on my sons learning and how he’s developing. Our son is now in Nursery, but really wanted to stay with Elaine a day as well and he is just as excited every week to spend his day there. Overall, I would recommend Elaine to anyone looking for a childminder who is willing to and does go the extra mile to ensure not only the children are happy and cared for but is also a fantastic support to parents who are on this journey for the first time too. My son loves her.
