Julie has cared for our daughter Asta from 9 months to 2 years old, and she’s just been amazing.

From our very first meeting with Julie, it was obvious that Asta felt comfortable and relaxed in her presence, and we knew straight away that she was the right person to care for her. Julie's a really lovely and friendly person, and her home is nice and clean. She shows a lot of affection towards the children and is generous with cuddles and kisses, which means Asta has formed a strong bond with her. It was always a real pleasure to see the big smile on Asta’s face when she saw Julie in the morning.

Julie is very conscious about the children’s development and makes sure they are challenged with lots of different activities during the day. They go out every day to various playgroups, rhyme time, soft play, the park or the local city farm etc. – everything a baby or toddler could dream of! Furthermore Julie is super organised, and every day we would get a detailed written description of Asta’s day, including how much she’s slept, how often she’s had her nappy changed, how she’s eaten etc. It was really nice to have all these things written down, so we knew exactly what they had been up to in the day.

All in all, Julie is a wonderful childminder, who we and especially Asta will miss very much!
