Excellent Childminder, My son attends Diane and I love seeing photos of activities that he has carried out throughout the day. The outdoors is amazing providing lots of space for children to explore and develop their skills.
I would recommend Diane to any parents who are nervous about finding Childcare for their child.

Communication
Diane is wonderful, my boys adore her and cant wait to come to her in the morning. Diane is very sensitive of their needs and has helped me to deal with my 1 years old cancer, his treatment and helped to explain what is happening to my 3 year old. The boys bring home a wide range of pictures and paintings they have done. Diane while nurturing them also encourages them to be independent and this shows when we are at home.
