At the time when we started looking for a childminder my 2 year old son was attending nursery full time and was always overtired at bedtime and started having more tantrums in the evenings.

We realised that the nursery environment, though potentially beneficial on a part-time basis, was simply too much for him to cope with at such a young age and decided to look for a local childminder who would be able to provide more of a home away from home environment. As soon as we met Ann and her lovely family we knew that we struck gold and that our son will be well looked after. Her home provided us with a great alternative to a busy nursery and her personality further helped to keep our son at ease and relaxed. He took to Ann really quickly and was always happy to see Ann's house in the mornings.

I would reccommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an experienced, kind and flexible childminder that you can trust.
