As a first time mum returning to work after having over 12 months off, I was extremely anxious about finding someone to look after my son. It's a minefield as I've never had to trust someone other than family to care for him to a high standard.
From the moment I met Jessica and Ian I felt completely at ease. The first impressions were fantastic. Such a friendly welcoming couple and I knew within minutes I would have no problem leaving Lincoln with them.
Jessica was so engaging with Lincoln and I could see he felt comfortable in her company which was a relief. I had made my mind up that they were the perfect childminders for us. Lincoln can be slightly wary of men but him and Ian are great pals.
Lincoln has been attending Jessica's Childminding Service now for just under 12 months and I can honestly say he has come on immensely in all aspects of his development.
Each day I know exactly what he has done, what he has eaten, how long his naps have been and even down to his nappies.
The activities they provide for the children are amazing, throughout summer I don't think they were ever in the house. Constantly out exploring which for me is a great activity for any child.
Jessica and Ian have been an absolute god send to us, so helpful and flexible when we have needed the extra support.
There are no negatives about this couple. I went with my instincts and can honestly say I don't have any regrets.
Lincoln loves them both and so do we.
You really wouldn't be disappointed in choosing them to look after your child.
