I am a mum of 3 aged 12yrs,8yrs & 3yrs.
I have always worked therefore had lots of experience of childcare providers.
Both my older two were with my mum and in nursery, which I was very pleased with and stood them in good stead when starting school.
Again, when it came to my little one, nursery was the way i was going to go(as for along time I was very anti-childminders, Sorry!).

Then I met Steph and Dave at a local childrens center where they would go with the children they cared for, I was very impressed at what i saw. So i thought we would give a child minder ago.

My 3 yr old has now been with Steph and Dave for 2 years now, what was I worried about.
Steph and Dave is the best child care providers I have ever had, They are naturally caring, warm and fun people and clearly loves their jobs.
They are always out and about or doing creative craft projects at home, they do so much with them, they always keeps them busy doing exciting things like, play cafe, steam train rides, they go to all the attractions, go to groups and much much more, they have been so good for my babe, I wish i didn't have to go to work and could stay with Steph and Dave myself and have the fun they do.
My daughter loves Steph and Dave to bits and is always talking about them and their family . And from what I can see and gather Steph and Dave have a great bond with my daughter too.
Just the other day they sent me a pic to my mobile whilst i was at work of my babe covered in crazy foam laughing her head off.
I can go to work and not even worry about a thing, its a great feeling, never had that with the nurseries. Steph and Dave have changed my mind about using a childminder over a nursery.
I am dreading the day she starts school and leaves Steph and Daves, don't want it to come, I will certainly be asking Steph and Dave to have her during school holidays without fail. Just wish that Steph and Dave was childminding when my other two were younger.
I could go on praising Steph and Dave for along time, I wanted to keep this review short and sweet but has been very difficult to do so as they are really is brilliant! I would not hesitate in recommending Steph and Dave to anyone needing a childminder who looks after the children like they are their own.
