Lynne has been looking after my son since he was 17 months old. We are all genuinely upset that he has to leave to attend Reception Class as he is now 4 years old. Lynne is fantastic with the children, kind, patient and goes out of her way to ensure that both the children and parents are happy whilst in her care.
When my son first attended he was shy and very timid however since being with Lynne he has become a confident and happy little boy who absolutely adores Lynne and all children at her setting. He has made some strong relationships and we are all genuinely sad that he has to leave to attend school.
Lynne has provided so many great skills for my son and even helped me along the way. She has given us some fantastic advice, helped with potty training, learning how to feed himself and imaginative play. As he has gotten older, his number and writing skills have come on leaps and bounds due to the activities Lynne has done with them. She had gotten him ready for school and beyond in terms of his education and has also give him the confidence of teaching him how to read in preparation for school. That is only a small amount of things Lynne has done for us over the years and she keeps us well informed of his progress with daily live diaries that I can access anytime of his activities along with photographs so I can see what he has been doing. She also sends us progress reports and lets us know exactly how he is getting on with all of his skills offering friendly and great advice along the way! Lynne has even helped my son with his social skills he is no longer that shy little boy who first entered her home and is now actively looking for new things to explore!
Lynne also provides fantastic, healthy and nutritious meals which my son loves! She has been great at getting him eating much more fruit and veg than he did before and I cannot thank her enough for this!
The allotment is also another example of a fantastic feature she provides at her setting, my son can now confidently plant, look after and freely talk about the different fruits and vegetables he has grown during his time with her.It is a fantastic learning feature along with collecting eggs from the chickens - which are delicious!
The other children at Lynnes are as equally as nice as she is, and my son has formed very strong bonds with each of them, bonds that we will continue with their parents even after he has left.
In short, I cannot thank Lynne enough for what she has done for us over the last few years, the learning, the communication and the outstanding service that she provides! Nothing is too much trouble and she truly is a genuine, hard working, caring person who we have been so lucky to have in our lives.
Lynne has just received an OUTSTANDING from her latest ofsted report and rightly deserved! She also holds a Healthy Eating Childminder Award for the fantastic meals she provides!
We will miss her and everyone at her setting! I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for us as a family by providing remarkable care! It has been a great experience and we cannot wait to see her again during the school holidays!
