Six years ago I cancelled my daughter's reserved place at a nursery to place her with Louise as I felt that she offered a home from home environment. This is very important to me as I have no family nearby and also commute long distance to work. Two years ago when I returned to work after a three month maternity leave I had no hesitation in leaving my 10 week old son in her care. My son was diagnosed with reflux as a baby so was often sick, even when healthy, but received the best care possible. Both children feel like members of her extended family and interact well with Louise's own children and pets. They also love playing on all of the play equipment in the garden and the house is very well stocked with children's toys.

Louse provides excellent care including day trips, trips to the park, school outings and has also reminded me of events on many occasions and also taken my children to events when I have been unable to attend.

Recently due to my own ill health and company merger we have had to reduce our childcare hours which was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make but my children will continue to attend. I would have given a rating of excellent rather than good if I was able too.
