Delphine really is a wonderful childminder. She cared for our daughter between the ages of 1-2 years and it couldn’t have been more perfect. It was lovely to hear about all the fun and learning they would get up to and Delphine keeps you up to date throughout the day so we could see what she had been up to and know whilst we were at work she was in safe hands and having lots of fun. She goes above and beyond to keep you updated, with an update at pick up too you feel like you’ve almost been with her, and really understand what your child has been up to from how long she has napped, to what she has eaten, to the amount of nappies she has had changed!

Our daughter really flourished there, from dropping off our little lockdown baby who had never spent the day with anyone else, she settled really quickly attending only one day a week, which we put down to Delphine’s calm, caring and wonderful nature. She is now a confident, chatty and bright two year old and came back from Delphine’s house doing yoga, singing and dancing (hop little bunnies is still a favourite), learning her numbers, shapes and colours.

It is lovely to still meet up with Delphine and her children and little ones for a play date, our daughter still asks excitedly if she can go to ‘Delphine’s house today’ and talks about Delphine’s children and the little ones that attend fondly, a sure sign of how much of an impact she had in her little life.
