We have just finished with Eva after approximately 5 years as both of our children will be in full-time school in September. When I was looking for a childminder to have my son when I went back to work, flexibility was really important to me as my husband has a revolving day off so our childcare requirements changed from week to week. Eva was completely open to this and was happy to work around our needs which we were so pleased about.

Having said that, being flexible is all well and good but not if it is at the expense of good love and care for the children. I'm happy to say that Eva ticks all the boxes! In the beginning she used to look after my son before pre-school and drop him off there and then later when he started nursery, she was again flexible and used to look after him in the mornings and drop him to nursery at lunchtime.

By the time he started full time school, we were looking for someone to look after our daughter a couple of days a week. Eva to the rescue again! We also went through a really rough patch when my Mum was very ill which created no end of problems as she used to look after my daughter a couple of days also. Every time Mum had an appointment or was too ill to look after my daughter, Eva stepped in and helped us out. She made a really worrying time much less stressful.

We have always loved receiving updates and photos of the kids playing. They get up to so many fun things at Eva's, it is SO much more than just supervised play. Both my children looked forward to going there and we will miss Eva very much.

Would highly recommend Eva to anyone looking for a childminder.
