We were very lucky to have found an amazing childminder Linda to look after our son Lucas then 18months until he was nearly 3years old. He had found it difficult to settle in a mainstream nursery setting but Lindas homely environment and her kind caring nature made him feel safe and happy. It really is a home away from home. Linda has many years experience and is very flexible to parents and a child's individual requirements.
Her home environment and garden is a child's dream full of toys and different activities which linda changes frequently. Lucas thrived there with baking activities, arts and crafts, music and dance, story time, playgroups and park visits, with the added bonus of Interacting with other childminders so that lucas had lots of exposure to social environments which is key to a child's development. We had daily picture updates of his activities which was lovely and reassuring to see. Linda is generous and loving and I could not recommend her highly enough.
