Tamara has been a childminder to my children for over 5 years and she has been just amazing.
Tamara goes out with the children pretty much every day where they go to parks, forest and other lovely places with them including ongar air field and Westfield sand parks.
She would also spend time thinking up some amazing craft ideas for them that my kids both loved, this ranged from painting, cutting a sticked themed ideas. E.g animals based on books they are reading.
Tamara would also develop their cooking skills by making baked treats that the kids loved bringing home and eating.
Tamara also ensured she gave them a balanced healthy diet that they really enjoyed. The kids would always say how yummy the food was and ask me to make the same.
Tamara documents everything the children did including their Forrest school adventures. She would note down everything in their books so I could see what they did that day and what they ate. She would also create a folder full of photos of their adventures and progression stating the age in months of how they are progressing in early learning skills. This is a folder I will cherish as it has beautiful photos of the children.
Tamara has also been incredibly reliable, she never takes sick days and gives you plenty notice if she has booked any sort of holiday.
Tamara did lots of play learning as well and was amazing at giving advice on how to develop the children’s skills further if I was ever unsure on how to do this. She would have fun counting games with them and just really made learning fun for both of them.
If you are looking for a childminder I highly recommend Tamara, we are all really sad that the children will no longer be their but I know they will always remember her as the kind caring childminder that she is.
Thank you for everything Tamara you have been everything we could have hoped for.
