Placing my daughter in the hands of another person to look after who I didn't really know well, has been the biggest and toughest decision for me yet.
During the pandemic me and my baby had developed a special bond and also most likely separation anxiety. First time round I thought I've got it right, ive found the childminder for us the lady ticked all the right boxes, however my daughter really struggled with her, in that my daughter did not settle not even as time went on. We had no choice to leave as the childminder didn't know what to do with my daughter.
I was at a loss and I thought how would I return to work. I was then recommended Wendy by a friend who's little boy is now 8. I asked my friends little boy before contacting Wendy how did he like Wendy's house. His reply "It was so much fun" with a big smile on his face. I soon made contact with Wendy and explained the situation.
The moment we met Wendy we could see that she was so caring and professional. Wendy reassured us from the very start and with the many years of experience she has, she said we will all get through this. I was already anxious as my time was getting closer to going back to work and the first childminder didn't work out for us.
Well, we are so grateful and lucky to have found Wendy. My daughter settled in very well and soon got over the separation anxiety. We were amazed how quick she trusted Wendy and my anxiety’s soon went away also. I felt reassured that my daughter would be ok and I didn't worry whilst at work.
My daughter would open her arms to Wendy when we dropped her off, and on pick up she would always have a smile on her face. My daughter loved playing with the other children doing arts and crafts and she enjoyed eating Wendy's home cooked meals. My daughter is dairy free and Wendy made it no issue at all and catered to her needs. We got regular updates from Wendy throughout the day. My daughter was happy and developed well with her numbers and colours and talking.Wendy is an amazing childcare provider and I would definitely recommend her. She is a real natural with the children, she is flexible, understanding, positive and encouraging and passionate about her Job
Thank you Wendy. Thank you for being apart of our daughters first chapter. X
