Fernanda childminded my daughter from the age of 15 months to 3 years (we left so she could experience a nursery setting before going to school). My daughter settled in really well there when she started, which was very reassuring to us, Fernanda clearly cares about the children she looks after and is affectionate with them which we really liked and the children respond well to. There is a real family atmosphere and Fernanda's husband and mother in law are lovely and great at looking after the children. Giuseppe and Anthonella, Fernanda's children, are lovely kids and all the children play together, when our daughter was younger they were really sweet with her and looked after her.

Fernanda is very accommodating and flexible when she can be, and the children do lots of fun activities like going to local playgroups and parks (my daughter also went to the Horniman Museum and Legoland) and doing arts and crafts/baking.

We were very sad to leave and I recommend Fernanda to anyone - she's an excellent, nurturing childminder!
