My daughter  was moved from a childminder rated "Ofstead Good" to Yvette, who is rated "Ofstead Outstanding". And I saw a huge difference in the service and care provided!

Yvette keeps me and my husband  regularily updated with my daughter's activities, shes sends pictures and advises what she has been up to. We love this as its so nice to see what your child is doing whilst you are at work.

It is great to see all the space available for the children at her home. She provides a large playroom which contains a large amount of toys, making it very cosy. A lot of these toys are learning toys. Despite the large amount of toys the place is well managed and tidy. I love that she home cooks food and then sends me receipes of some of the food my daughter has enjoyed. Yvette has a large garden with toys outside that aid with physical development.

 Also when she lays out activities for her, Yvette sends me the learning and development my daughter is getting from it.

Yvette is ever so approachable and I know i can speak to her about anything to do with my daughter. She has given me some really good advice and tips,when my daughter has developed some bad habbits/traits and how to overcome these.

My daughter adores Yvette, so much so that my daughter never wants to leave. That tells you in itself of the loving nature of Yvette, the environment she provides, the facilities she provides and activities shes laid out to entertain and at the same time, help her to learn.

As a parent its gives me comfort that my daughter is in good hands.
