I chose Bernardete to be my childminder having seen her at toddler groups, out and about and also from personal recommendations.

She has a really lovely manner with all the children in her care. She always seems kind, calm and patient with them and all the children are happy and well behaved and know what’s expected of them. I also liked the fact that I would see Bernardete out and about whatever the weather so that I knew my baby would get the advantage of going to the toddler groups that I would take her too. I regularly see her taking the children to the park and in the garden.

Since my daughter has been going to Bernardete’s, I’ve been reassured that I made absolutely the right choice. She’s so happy there and really loves her childminder.
I’ve been impressed by the variety of toys that Bernardete has and that the children don’t play with just gender stereotype toys. I’ve really seen my child’s progress since she’s spent time with Bernardete and the other children in her care. She’s learned more words even saying ‘thank you’ and has started to draw, something I would never have thought of doing with her. While she’s pleased to see me at the end of the day she’s never desperate to go home and always arrives at Bernardete’s with a smile.

Whenever I’ve visited Bernardete’s I’ve seen all the children happily and safely engaged. When I’ve been at dinner times the food has looked and smelt very tasty. I’ve always felt very comfortable to ask questions about my daughter’s and her day.

I highly recommend her to be your child’s childminder too.
