I have 2 boys aged 3 years and 18 months. They have both been cared for by this childminder for 3 days a week since they were 1 year old. I could not ask for more from the care provided. They are part of a caring and consistent environment and run through the door every morning. They are provided with a huge selection of toys which are rotated and age appropriate. The childminder uses a themed approach relevant to the time of year/festivities/celebrations going on. She has a beautiful very big garden in a rural location. They go to playgroups weekly as well as occasional days out. The childminder is always calm and seems to get the best out of my boys in terms of behaviour and their development. Communication is excellent I really could not praise her highly enough. If you are looking for a childminder you won't find a better one!
