'Grandma Wendy'
Wendy came to our rescue last year in the midst of the Pandemic, at that time we had a 1 year old and a 2 year old. Our previous childminder was expecting a baby so we needed another one. Having already had my children happy in a childminder setting we knew what our expectations were, after reading her profile and reviews, she definitely seemed like someone who would meet our expectations. Wendy quickly replied to my message, called me later that day and we then arranged a visit for the day after to meet my children. From the second we met Wendy she was very, warm, friendly, polite and had a great sense of humour I knew the kids would just love. She provided all her certificates and background checks as well as her latest ofsted report.
Our children have both been going to Wendy for almost a year now, we have never had any tears dropping them off and are both so happy to wave us off and go inside to Wendys. Their speech, social skills and development has all come on leaps and bounds. Wendy makes nutritious healthy meals everyday which they both eat! Wendy also gives them the odd treat which they love telling us about! They are forever baking, doing crafts and exploring Wendys lovely garden of all sorts!
They love Wendy, and call her ‘Wendy woo woo’ or ‘Grandma Wendy’!, we get daily updates of their behaviour, eating habits and toileting along with numerous photos and videos throughout the day. They both enjoy cuddle time with Wendy and she definitely provides a home from home setting. She is personal with each of them and attends to each of their needs individually. Our son is now moving onto preschool, having 2 children so close has meant they comfort in each other and we have found it hard when we separate them, so its now time for them to have some time apart. Our daughter will still be attending Wendys and we are very much looking forward to seeing Wendys new additions and our daughter making even more friends and progressing without her big brother.
If Wendy is someone you are considering, do not hesitate, you will not regret it.
