Tricia is by far the best Childminder I have ever had.

I ma leaving the area so sadly I wont need her anymore... if I could have taken her with me I would.

Tricia looks after my 1 year old full-time and my four year old on Wednesday afternoons and whenever I need her to.

She is totally flexible and adaptable to my requirements. I work irregular hours and my husband commutes to London - Tricia is always there when we need her. In fact I couldn't have returned to my job if it weren't for Tricia.

She even worked beyond the call of duty for the past six months by having my youngest on a Sunday so my husband could spend time with our eldest.

So whats she like with the children? We Ed smiles and giggles before i even reach her front door. H loves her. Every time you walk in the house Tricia has set up the room with different activities. Alf, my oldest, enjoys being with her too and always tells me about all the good things he's done - and he's very hard to please!

Tricia takes them out to the park, runs a children 's club for other childminders in the area and basically has embraced this job amazingly.

She works with two others and they're great girls too. Her food looks yummy and i often wish I was staying for lunch. Her house is kitted out with everything you'd expect from a nursery.

Tricia is a lovely approachable lady and I will really miss her looking after my boys. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She is truelly amazing.
