My daughter has been going to Sue since September, but has settled in better than I could have imagined.

Going back to work after maternity leave is not easy, so finding someone who you/your child can feel reassured and at ease with is so important. Sue is friendly and welcoming and I knew straight away that she would be the perfect childminder for my daughter.

My daughter spends two days a week with Sue and she loves it. As soon as Sue opens the door in the mornings, my daughter will leap out of my arms and straight to Sue. She will then happily wave goodbye to me.
When I pick her up she is always giggling and happy.

Sue will keep a daily diary, which comes home with us every evening, all about her day i.e. what she's eaten, when she's napped, her mood, places they visit etc which I think is such a fab idea. She also keeps me updated with lots of photos of their day.

They also attend the local playgroup which my daughter loves now she's toddling about, where they will do lots of craft activities too.

Sue has a lovely home with a great range of toys to play with. I especially loved all the little touches that Sue has in her home i.e each child has their own coat peg and picture. These things really do not go unnoticed when searching for the right childcare setting.

If you are looking for a home from home, then I would highly recommend Sue.
