Corinne looked after my son from 3 months old, it was hard for me to part with him at such a young age, but as I had to return to work I had no choice. The fact that Corinne had two of her own children and looked after other young children helped me to decide that she was the right carer for our son. Corinne made me feel very comfortable leaving him in her care, I could see that she cared about the children she looked after and the other children were happy. During the time with Corinne my son enjoyed many days out and trips, he spent a lot of the time out of the house and if they did have a house based day, then it was full of activities and he often came home with his creations!
I could see that my son’s progress was vast, he was learning things I had not taught him - even though I thought I was doing a good varied job, it was obvious there were many experiences and lots of teaching that I could not do. Also being an only child I think that I have Corinne to thank for him now being a confident, outgoing and sharing child who enjoys playing with other children and is not shy at mixing with other children of any age.
I often saw that Corinne’s own children took to my son and enjoyed playing with him when they were out of school, so Corinne’s home made a good “second home” for him!
I have found Corinne very professional and fair, she also took time to talk to me at drop off and pick up to make sure I was aware of what my son had done during the day and help me with any difficulties we were having with him.
Overall my experience with Corinne looking after my son was great and I would not hesitate to recommend other parents to utilise her services, especially if you are concerned about leaving your precious small baby with someone!
