5 stars are not enough! Cristiane is over and above this rating system.
Cris was the first person my son had been left with since birth when he went to her aged 10 months. I know how difficult it can be to leave a baby for the first time when returning to work, she was the first person we met with and knew right away she was the right person for our son. The return to work was made so much easier knowing he was with someone who we knew genuinely cared about him and his wellbeing.Cristiane has provided him with a wonderful nurturing environment, where he is well stimulated, has fun, structure, encouragement and heartfelt care.
Cristiane provides a huge variety of activities for the children both at home and outside at playgroups, libraries and parks all tailored just right for the children's ages, so they are not bored or overstretched.
We were always kept updated with what our son had been doing, from what he had eaten, when he had slept to what activities he had enjoyed and his reactions to things going on around him. We knew what themes (colours/seasons etc) the children had been learning about so were able to continue those in conversation with him at home.
We were so sad to lose Cristiane due to her moving, otherwise our son would have stayed with her.
I couldn't recommend her highly enough, so if you have the opportunity for her to be your childminder grab it!
