I am so glad to have found Linda! She is a wonderful childminder with experience and accommodating mindset.

She offered training sessions with her prior the actual start date which were good to get my 9 month old son used to her and the home and other kids. Once started full time we have always been getting warm welcoming reception upon bringing our son there and in the afternoon a nice update of day's activities and how the day has been, what they are, did during the day and other etc.

We have been very fortunate by getting to take our son to Linda's care as she makes s true effort to ensure each kid is getting treated equally and well. She cooks kids lovely homemade warm dinners. Where there has been any dietary requests she has accommodated them very well. The house is not just a place to look after kids but it is a home with welcoming and caring environment.

The hours we had to have our son in daycare were very long and I felt a little bad at the beginning of having to leave my kid for such long time at daycare, 9 hours. But soon after we started with Linda I could relax as Linda really made the effort to ensure the house is really a home with heart and she made sure the kids were made felt that way too. My son loves to go to Linda's in the morning and he keeps learning new there every day.

There are three wonderful golden retrievers with her. They are the true ice breakers, gentle and calm and a wonderful way for kids to get used to dogs.

I can warmly recommend Linda as a childminder!
