Donna started looking after our son when he was 8 months old and I went back to work after maternity leave. I chose Donna because of the love and care she shows the children in her setting.

Our son, her Prince, has thrived in her care and the regular reports she sends us shows how much progress he has made with his language, physical, social and emotional development. She also provides us with daily updates with lots of photos so we know ‘what he has done today’ as well as a food and nappy diary. It’s so reassuring to see our son having a fantastic time with Donna.

Donna’s setting is like a home from home. She spend a lot of time outside; at the park, feeding the ducks, at the beach and walking in the woods. The activities she does with our son at home are creative and fun. From painting, colouring, playing with toys to dancing around the living room. Every time I collect him from Donna’s I can always hear laughter - what more could you ask for!

Donna has become more than a childminder to us, she has become part of our family.
