I just wanted to say a few words about Val.
My son has started at Val's when he was 9 months old. It is not easy decision for any mother when it's time to go back to work. But this time it wasn't that bad.
I have known Val for over 4 years and I was so happy when I found out that she finally decided to open her own setting. I've had the chance to known Val on the professional and private platform. She has been working with children nearly whole her life so can't ask for better experience. She has got incredible approach to children which helps when settling in. Liam has loved her from day one. She really looks at the child individually and recognises their needs.
They have such a fun together. Every day I got an update what they do and where they go. They are never bored. One day they go to the woods for walk, another day gym or soft play and another day garden centre or farm. When they are at home there is always some messy play going on or making craft. Val provides plenty of toys suitable for the child age, including garden.
As a parent I am very happy. The communication is great and Val always listens my suggestions about Liam. She is very flexible and does everything to make you and your child happy at her setting.
I nearly forgot to mention the delicious food what she cooks. When Liam is with her I don't have to worry about food. I know he gets freshly cooked meal with full of nutritions.
I highly recommend Val. If you looking for childminder, you must contact her. You won'e be disappointed.
