I was so glad to have found Linda when looking for a childminder for my son when he was just 4 months old. Linda is extremely kind and patient and made my return to work after maternity leave much easier. I felt very relaxed from day 1 leaving him in her care. Even though at around the age of 10 months he went through a spell of separation anxiety Linda really kept me up to date with his progress on the days she had him and helped put my mind at rest, the spell didn't last long.

Now at 18 months old he absolutely loves going to Linda's and I truly believe she has played her part in him being such a kind, outgoing and well behaved little boy. Linda has a wonderful calming nature and provides a loving "home from home" environment which was really important to me.
