Andy is an excellent Childminder
Our son was with Andy from 11 months to 1 year old. Knew as soon as we met Andy that she was highly experienced and gave so much of herself to the children she cares for. I actually dont know what we would have done without her - we and our son miss her and the other children a lot since we moved away recently.
Things we love about Andy:
- Switched on, smart and very experienced with looking after multiple small children and the most lovely doggy
- Is totally dedicated to the kids and we trusted her 100%
- Regular/consistent updates on what the children were up to that day, what they have eaten, nappies, sleeps etc.
- Flexible with pick up and drop off
- Gives her charges a WONDERFUL experience of the outdoors. I cannot count the number of brilliant experiences our boy had, from museums, to city farms and zoos, regular play groups and activities at home. It really was such a boost to know our child was exposed to so many different activities. His language skills developed rapidly and at two, his conversation skills are very impressive!
- Very flexible and suportive during the time of our move, even though she had to say goodbye to our little guy. Always helpful to the end.
- Teaches the children about food, consistent in teaching them good eating habits and how to actually sit down at a table :)
- We got to know Andy as a person too and this was so important as first time parents. We could ask her anything and she gave sound advice around our childs needs.
We would highly recommend Andy as a childminder and only we moved away, we would still be with her.
Thank you Andy. :-)
