My eldest daughter started with Sue when she was 7 months old and two years later my youngest daughter joined at 6 months of age. To this day I am so happy with having chosen Sue and Jess to look after my children. They are friendly, welcoming and have a wonderful sense of humour. The care they provide is to a very high standard.

My main request for anyone who was to look after my children is to have home-away-from-home care and that is exactly what my girls are getting, if not more. She has a lovely spacious home with a big garden and so many toys, it's like a kids paradise! They take the girls out to the park, the farm and have been to the cinema on several occassions. My girls have had so many experiences whilst being under Sue and Jess' care.

They have a friendly dog who is amazing with the children as well as a cat. Even though a pet wasn't the highest on my priority list I feel my children are priviliged to have contact with animals and learn to care for them and respect them.

Sue and Jess also spend a lot of time learning through play with the children. Unfortunately Ofsted have such high expectations with regards to education within a childcare setting - which I totally disagree with, children should just play and have fun. But Sue and Jess do really well at helping the girls achieve the goals as set out by Ofsted. Twice a year we get to take home their folder to look through.

My girls just love being at Sue's house and often don't want to come home with me. I have developed a lovely friendship with her and Jess and if it wasn't for us moving abroad, my girls would have spent many more years in their care. Even though my girls don't realise it, I'm sure they will often be asking for them.

I truly hope you will consider Sue and Jess to care for your child/children. I couldn't have wished for better.
