My son Mikey needed care from 8 months old until 21/2 years old. I no longer needed child care as I was at home after having my second baby. The care he received was second to none.

As a nurse I worked a variety of shifts at the hospital and occasionally I needed to change my days. They were always so accomodating and would try and swap their days for me.

Mikey loved to go to them and would often ask for them on his days off. He was always out and about exploring and attending many different playgroups and activities. Even in the winter time he was out and not always stuck indoors.

Lastly, my second baby decided to come early and I had no help as my family live in Wales. The childminders left their mobile on at night time for me and took Mikey during the day, at short notice while I was hospitalised. I can honestly say they are Angels!

I am currently hiring an Au Pair as I need more help at home, otherwise we wouldn't have left them.. * * * * *
