My family and I relocated from Cheshire to Boldon, Tyne and Wear in 2010.My daughter (Robyn) was 10 at the time and we were looking for her a childminder after school. I met Alison through the local council registered childminders list, and from our first initial meeting we were 100% comfortable and confident in Alison and Robyn took an instant liking, felt secure and at ease with her. Alison provided a collection service from school and gave drinks and healthy snacks. Robyn was the oldest of the children in Alison's care and the diversity of Alison's skills is excellent, as she provided imaginative, stimulating play and caft creativity for my daughters age group both in door and outdoor. I would recommend her to everyone. Thank you very much Alison as you made our family relocation a happy, very smooth and friendly transition for Robyn into her new surroundings x
