I was heavily pregnant with my second child when I approached Sue to begin minding my eldest who was just over a one at the time. He'd been in a nursery setting previously and I wasn't happy with the level of care he was being given.
From the moment Sue opened up her home to us for the first visit I felt as if I'd hit the jackpot! My little boy instantly settled and made a special friend in Sue's youngest son.
My youngest joined Sue at 4 months old and she has been there for every milestone, contributing massively to both boys development. Learning has always been of importance to me, and Sue's patience and commitment to development following the EYFS guidelines has been incredible with both thriving and ready for school full-time.
There is plenty of fun too - with regular trips to soft play, the zoo, local farms & woodlands. Sue plans her days with care and thought, teaching about the seasons, healthy eating, manners, the importance of hygiene and so many other vital life lessons.
In her own time, Sue is still dedicated to her setting. Printing off photo's and writing journals for each child to take home with them when their time with her comes to an end.
Sue genuinely cares and loves each child in her setting and that is evident at drop off when each child is welcomed with a hug and they skip in happily.
Whilst both boys time has sadly come to an end this year, we will still use Sue where she has space in the school holidays.

Sue really is outstanding. She covered school pick-up for my eldest daughter for a number or years. Sue was truly amazing when my daughter started, and made her feel at home. We initially wanted my daughter to attend after-school care within the school, but this was fully booked. We never set out to find a childminder, but I'm so glad that we found Sue, I can't recommend her enough.
My daughter found it difficult to settle initially as she had also started school. Sue made her feel special and spoke to her about her feelings and introduced a number of her favourite activities including craft to help her settle in. She also kept me updated during this period - to help alleviate any concerns. Everytime I received a photograph I could tell she was having so much fun. She also received a healthy home cooked meal each day she attended Sue's setting.
Sue constantly introduces new activities and my daughter is especially fond of the christmas advent calendar activity that she takes an awful lot of time to put together for the children in her setting. My daughter and I will really miss Sue. She's even asked if she can go and visit her from time to time.

My son attended Sue's house from the age of 8 months to 3 years and left to start school. Sue and her family not only opened up their home but also their hearts. My son treated Sue and the family home, as his 'home from home'. Sue planned weekly fun, stimulating activities, outings and adventures within the EYFS framework and beyond. We got regular feedback and photographs.
I never set out to find a childminder, but on reflection in seeing what you could provide compared to how busy nurseries and schools are, we knew you could stand above the rest.
I'd say I had high expectations of what I wanted for my son, and Sue you achieved this and more. To say we miss you is a understatement. I highly recommend Sue in looking after your child, and if ever needed in future you will be my first point of call.
