Our only son started at Sue’s when he was 7 months old as I was required to return to work. It was a tough thing for myself and my husband, as we had to leave our son full time at childcare since we didn’t have extended family with us. For our solace, Sue had availability and flexibility we were looking for.
It took only a few days for Sue to make our son settled at her childcare. Our son was having re-occurring ear infections where he was required to be seen by the doctor and given antibiotics. It was not possible for me to take off from work every time he was sick. Sue was very empathetic on our situation and was willing to keep our son while he was on medication. She always put us at ease by reassuring us that our son had her full attention.
Sue is very flexible with times. I do a few late shifts per month and Sue was always flexible to keep him when I work late. Our son is really happy at Sue’s and he hardly even notice myself or husband, the moment we steps into Sue’s house. He plays, learns, and enjoys his time at Sue’s. His daily activities, food, naps, bottles etc are recorded in a diary with pictures taken time to time. Sue takes the children at her care to local play grops, and loads of creative activities are done at hers.
We couldn’t think of any better childminder for our son. Sue has all that qualities you’d ever expect in a childminder. She’s patient, loving, caring and hard working. We would definitely recommend her.
