Harri cared for our son twice a week from December 2017 to June 2019. We would like to thank Harri for all her care for our son, we felt he has had a ‘home from home’ to enjoy.

Sukhi at the start of his placement was a little tearful and Harri gave him lots of cuddle and kept us updated of how he was doing via whatsapp messages and sent pictures to reassure us he was okay after he had settled. We are also kept updated with pictures of Sukhi when they have gone to trips to Willows Farm, Soft Play, Splash Park, and a fun trip to the RAF Museum. For a parent this made me feel a little less guilty that I have left my son when I get to see how much fun he is having with Harri.

Sukhi has always been given a good choice of lunch and snacks with Harri, and we were kept informed of how well he ate each day and his days activities via a communication book for Sukhi. We are happy he had such nice and well-balanced meals with Harri.

Sukhi has enjoyed all the trips, and we are thankful for all the play opportunities experienced with Harri whilst we was working. Sukhi particularly enjoyed his trips to Willows Farm and the play groups where he got to mix with other children too. We often have had comments from family to say how amazing it is Sukhi’s Childminder takes him to such nice places whilst in her care.

Sukhi also was given structured and thought out play activities in Harri’s home and this has also helped his development learning through play. We also felt Harri took time to update us on his progress by giving us reports of his development and also accommodated us to have his speech and language therapist come visit Sukhi whilst in Harri’s setting which helped with his development too.
