My 2 boys (2 & 4) have been with Adele for almost a year now and they absolutely love her!

I had a lot of problems in the the past with other childminders that were either 'too busy' or had 'too many' other children to look after, to actually provide the right care for my boys. Luckily I found Adele and they have both come such a long way!

I struggled a lot with my eldest at 3 with potty training as previous childminders weren't willing to help, but working together with Adele's support and encouragement, he was fully potty trained in no time at all! I even managed to get him out of night nappies too within a month of no nappies during the day, with only 2 accidents overall! The dummies have also gone too :)

Adele provides a lot of support and encouragement with all aspects of childcare. She is very warm and welcoming and my boys are always excited to see her in the mornings (sometimes I struggle to get them to come hame haha!) She has a lovely home from home setting with all the toys and activities any child could need and wish for. Unlike my previous childminder's, Adele has just the right amount of children at anyone one time, so that she can give each child the proper attention and support they need! She speaks to my boys in French and they can both now understand what she says. She works together with me and has helped build both my boys speaking and listening skills along with their confidence. Adele is also a great communicator and gives me an update at the end of each day of new skills learnt, what they have eaten, if they have slept etc. which really helps when we get home to continue with the same routines.

Adele takes the children out to park (literally just at the end of her road), they also go to the library and mini montessori regularly. They do painting, drawing, arts and crafts, story time and baking together. Adele's home is very clean and tidy and she has great personal hygiene which she teaches the children with washing their hands before eating. Both my boys have been very healthy with their eating too which is getting better each day with eating their fruit and vegetables and along with Adele's cleanliness, has also resulted in both my boys being much healthier and bug free!

To anyone ready this and considering Adele to care for your children, I would highly recommend her as THE BEST childminder I have ever met and I will be forever grateful to her for the amazing job she has done and continues to do every day with helping raise my boys! x
