Larissa is an experienced, caring and professional childminder who has provided excellent support for my son in the short time he has been there. A 9-month old with multiple food allergies can be a challenge but Larissa carefully listens to my routines and double checks to make sure she has got everything right. She will happily give advice if you want to run ideas past her, whether that's food options, nap times or ideas for days out.

The setting caters for all types of children well - active, readers, musicians, even gadget obsessed little ones will be happy with the wide variety of learning and development toys. It's also very helpful to have Larissa's children on hand so my son can not only be entertained but learn from them. They're also both lovely, well behaved children so testament to her parenting abilities. From a mum's perspective, Larissa is really friendly and very flexible.

Larissa is happy to provide as many or few updates to you as you want - the photos of my son though the day, allowing me to see how he's doing, are particularly nice.
