My daughter has been with Sue and Vicky for 9 months now since she was 14 months old. I have been blown away by the fantastic childcare she has received. They are flexible, caring, enthusiastic, committed and provide a lovely safe and warm environment for all of the children.

The children get to enjoy a wide variety at activities and outings. For example dressing up for holloween, a princess party, Christmas and even national cat day. They have outings to the park, play groups and to see the animals in the local garden centre. There was a visit to see father Christmas, and they regularly mix with another local childminder. They take part in special days such as mothers day, Valentine's day and birthdays to name but a few , making cards or pictures to represent the theme of the day.

Sue and Vicky encourage the children to communicate, share, play independentaly as well as together. They take part in nursery rhymes, singing, dancing, reading, building, drawing, painting, dressing up and even encourage them to clean up their toys which promotes their independance and confidence. They had a week where they all brought in toothbrushes and hairbrushes to practice self care.

My daughter has flourished under Sue and Vickys care, she has grown in confidence, learned to share, play with other children and her communication skills have gone from strength to strength. We had a setteling in period at the begining which really helped not just my daughter but her anxious mum, it gave us a graded introduction so that it was not too stressful or upsetting for my daughter or mum and dad. Knowing my daughter was being left in a home away from home environment was very comforting and made returning to work that much easier. We are unfortunately moving away from the area soon and will he very sad to loose this amazing childcare I cannot recommend them enough. We will find it very hard to find somewhere that matches this amazing service. Thank you Sue and Vicky we will miss you and the other children.
