I live in North Watford married with 3 Children a son aged 17 and twin girls nearly 16. Activities I do include art and crafts as well as outdoor, I live close to local parks. I attend local toddler and music groups.
Whilst children are in my care, they have fun learning through play, in a caring, calm and homely environment. I provide lots of additional activities in line with EYFS.
My Experience

Tara has taken care of my 2 children of 4 and 2 and a half years old for the past few months. They loved going to her home, playing with all her resources and meeting their friends!Tara made sure all the children in her care bonded through age appropriate activities keeping them stimulated and happy. She is caring and affectionate, always listening and paying attention to the children’s needs.
I can genuinely say that I can’t recommend her enough.
