Words do not begin to explain what my husband and I think of the marvellous service that both Annette and her husband Eddie have provided to us for over 4 years now.

I decided to go back to work, however it became very stressful because all the nurseries that I saw were more like orphanages. If I was going back to work I wanted to leave my precious child in the most capable hands possible whilst combining this with a loving homely environment. He was only 1 years old! I almost gave up but by chance came across Lillies of the Valley through Childcare. I initially discounted them as the guys are the opposite end to where I live, but low and behold Annette informed me that they have a collection service (so to speak). Whereby one of them will come and collect your child from your home and return them safely each night! Not only this but their home is clean and tidy, they have lots of things for the children to do...not that they stay home often as they are out and about at the park, playgroups, museums, the farm etc etc. Food is all home cooked and freshly prepared every day. Again another plus for me as a working mum!

Over the years we have gotten to know Annette, Eddie and the rest of their wonderful family, particularly the new little addition in their family who our little boy looks upon as a little brother, and the elder two girls as big sisters. Writing this brings a tear to my eye in a very fond way, because if these guys didn't do what they did and give me the comfort in knowing my little boy was safe, cared for, having fun and getting educated...I would not have been able to go out to work! They will be sorely missed, but we have new friends through this.

There is so very much more I can talk about, but I simply wouldn't stop. They are amazing and I would recommend them to anyone.

They are worth their waiting gold!
