When I first visited Alison I knew straight away this was the person I wanted to take care of my 8 month old son. Her home was so inviting and well organised – the playroom is perfect for children of all ages with a range of captivating games, books and activities. Her garden has everything a child could wish for with a lovely play area, mud kitchen and different spots to explore. Alison herself is the kindest, calmest and most thoughtful childminder we could have ever wished for. The children my son has mixed with get along so well – he has made such special friendships with a truly delightful group. My son particularly enjoys mealtimes with the other children where he is always well catered for with lots of variety.
Alison regularly takes the children on trips out to the park, library and playgroups – the change of scenery keeps him entertained and active during the day. Alison does so much at home with the children to stretch their academic and creative abilities. Some of the craft work that my son has come home with has moved me to tears – I’m sure all my daughter’s crafts from nursery all went in the bin! Alison keeps you regularly updated with photos and updates via the ‘Baby Days’ app.
Alison really is one-of-a-kind – saying goodbye to Alison was one of the most emotional moments of my son’s life so far. We wholeheartedly recommend Alison to any families out there who are looking for a nurturing, attentive and consistently wonderful childminder. Our son has absolutely thrived in her care – you will not be disappointed.
