My son started with Naomi a few months ago. We had previously tried him at a nursery but he did not settle and so we had to take him out. I was therefore really nervous about leaving him again, but felt that he needed to spend time with other children so the smaller environment of a childminder might suit him better.

When I first met Naomi I felt instantly at ease and confident that my son would be well cared for. She has excellent credentials and experience, but on top of all this she is a really lovely, warm and caring lady. I knew that she would create a loving environment for my son in which he could relax and enjoy himself.

My son is an incredibly fussy eater and has endless energy but none of this phased Naomi and she created an environment where he could flourish. I was always completely confident leaving him in her care knowing that she would go the extra mile to make his stay as pleasurable as possible.

It is with huge regret that we are leaving Naomi but my son is now 2 and we feel he needs the structure of going to nursery on a regular basis with lots of other children to socialise with.

I cannot recommend Naomi highly enough for anyone that wants an incredibly experienced, knowledgable, but most importantly for me, caring and loving childminder.
