We have known Diane for over 4 years now.

Diane looked after our first daughter from 9 months old for two days a week right up until she started nursery aged 4. She now looks after our second daughter 2 days a week and she is getting along just as well in Diane's setting as our first.

It was very daunting looking for a childminder with our first born as we had to completely trust who we were leaving her with. Diane was very understanding of this and we built a great rapport straight away.

Diane's house is very much a home from home for both of our girls and Diane very much feels like extended family. She also has two lovely kids of her own that get along brilliantly with both of ours.

She is highly organised, has great communication skills and we have always been very impressed with the way that she has accommodated any of our requests and kept us up to date with our childrens' progress.

It is without doubt that both of our girls have greatly benefited with their learning and development under Diane's care.

I highly recommend Diane as your new childminder.

Yours faithfully,

Lawrence and Ellie
