A total gem
Donna has cared for both our boys, Daniel who's now 2 and Ben who is 4, for the past two years nearly. Our boys absolutely adore her and her family. There hasn't been a single day in those two years that they have not wanted to go to Donna's. Now to me that says everything.
Donna takes the children out to playgroups regularly. She has a number of other children around at different times - including her own - and this has provided a wonderfully stimulating environment for my boys.
The huge garden is a great hit in the summer months and Tim, donnas husband, has always been very happy to show my two how to weed or sow seeds for his tomatoe plants. He is great with the kids aswell.
Donna is extremely reliable, very loving towards the children, has clear and consistant boundaries and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
The only reason we are moving on is because we are moving out of the area. We are keeping our youngest with her one day a week - we're not ready to cut our ties completely yet.
