We have been very happy with Nancy’s childminding.
I had my 2 boys in the big nursery and had doubts with my little girl, who was little more sensitive /attached to me compare than my other 2. Was originally looking for a nanny but then Nancy reached out to me, and I agreed to have a look despite I wasn’t sure the idea of childminding before.
And this turned out to be the best decision and I wouldn’t have it any other way around and would recommend Nancy’s setting without hesitation.
Nancy (and husband) has been treating my daughter as part of her family, and her own two children are amazing with all the children too. Nancy provides a wide, fun range of activities both in her (always well-organised) house and a good variety of outdoor activities.
I strongly believe in responsive, attached parenting, instead of throwing children with bunch of rules, especially with toddlers; And while we do also have structures and boundaries, I believe strong personal connection and communication are on top of everything, good understanding from both sides instead of black and white punishment and rewards (which normally happen in the bigger settings). And Nancy able to meet those needs, being flexible to our personal needs, while also introducing plenty of social skills and many more with her small group.
Excellent communication from Nancy what’s happening throughout her day (with lots of cute pictures) is a big plus too. My daughter is settled and happy and now 3 years in she has developed into a confident, polite, very sensible young girl with a lot of compassion for others.
We ‘graduated’ Nancy now and she’s off to the big school. Well done Nancy, we can’t thank you enough.
